02:22 PM XXCoder: roy lol when I worked, it would be weekend already as I worked 4 days a weel
02:25 PM travis_farmer[m]: just got off work... :-) paying work even! though only just enough to take care of current bills, and leave $30 for myself...
02:32 PM XXCoder: fun
02:33 PM roycroft: that's still better than no work at all
02:46 PM travis_farmer[m]: that is very true, roy :-)
02:56 PM roycroft: someone has listed a mini walking foot sewing machine on cl for really cheap
02:57 PM roycroft: i'm thinking of getting it, because i dislike hand stitching leather
02:57 PM roycroft: they want $200 for it, including a cabinet
02:58 PM roycroft: i could also get a hand-crank one on amazon for $100
02:58 PM roycroft: and then spend 20 hours cleaning it up and fixing it so that it works and doesn't cut me every time i touch it
03:37 PM * Lcvette[m] sent a code block: https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/download/libera.chat/19c8b707711e4fc5550cf0df8af2a54645769929
03:38 PM Lcvette[m]: quick sanity check, im having an issue getting a sub to recognize a motion.digital signal
03:39 PM Lcvette[m]: i have the pin and signal showing correctly in halshow, but the macro seems to ignore
03:39 PM Lcvette[m]: i checked the docs for M66 and I have it set for immediate, it isn't "chaning states" but I'm not sure if this can trigger based on the current state
03:40 PM travis_farmer[m]: how would a pin read lessthan 0?
03:41 PM Lcvette[m]: M66 P6 L0 Q0 is checking the pin and writing it to the var file line #5399 -1 or 0 depending on the state
03:41 PM travis_farmer[m]: i thought the state would be 1 or 0...
03:42 PM * Lcvette[m] uploaded an image: (73KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/download/matrix.org/wRXRmbPlKRUuZuIBkMQtTjah/image.png >
03:43 PM Lcvette[m]: im not sure if a change of state is required for M66 or not
03:43 PM Lcvette[m]: or if it can read and write based on the static state
03:43 PM travis_farmer[m]: mine looks like:
03:43 PM travis_farmer[m]: M66 P3 L0 (Check air pressure sensor, TJF)
03:43 PM travis_farmer[m]: o216 if [#5399 EQ 0]
03:43 PM travis_farmer[m]: (abort,No air pressure)
03:43 PM travis_farmer[m]: o216 endif
03:43 PM Lcvette[m]: I tried that also and no go
03:44 PM travis_farmer[m]: Hmmm...
03:44 PM Lcvette[m]: although I do have a Q value in there i will try removing
03:44 PM Lcvette[m]: even though it states it should be ok and Q is ignored if L0
03:45 PM Lcvette[m]: travis_farmer: does yours work?
03:45 PM travis_farmer[m]: yes, last i ran it
03:45 PM Lcvette[m]: i mean if there is no air pressure
03:45 PM Lcvette[m]: mine tries to run either way
03:46 PM travis_farmer[m]: oh... you know... i don't think i tested that...
03:46 PM Lcvette[m]: lol
03:46 PM travis_farmer[m]: lol
03:47 PM Lcvette[m]: i almost always have air pressure but was doing some air line work the other day chasing down a leak and forgot to repressurize the shop lines, i went to do the first tool change and it faulted but because it failed to send the shuttle out, I thought that was wierd so i went and checked my hal and the sub and it looked correct but wasn't triggering
03:48 PM Lcvette[m]: so now im chasing down the reason
03:49 PM travis_farmer[m]: i will test mine as soon as i get a chance... that could be bad on mine if it didn't trigger...
03:51 PM travis_farmer[m]: great, now i will lose sleep at night thinking about that... :-) lol
03:52 PM Lcvette[m]: ive been running mine for 5 years like this
03:52 PM Lcvette[m]: the shuttle out sensor should catch it like it did on mine
04:37 PM JT-Shop: hey Lcvette[m]

06:20 PM XXCoder: ?
06:20 PM JT-Shop: no clue
06:21 PM cakeslob: It maybe starts at 9-10 maybe

07:19 PM skunkworks: cakeslob: going to tormach?
07:22 PM skunkworks: does drinking cause connection issues?
07:24 PM cakeslob: Yeah. Bored and drunk and I gotta do these remora things. I think I saw machinekit guys , at least they fit the profile
07:24 PM skunkworks: Neat - I will be ther
07:24 PM skunkworks: there
07:25 PM cakeslob: And set up my demo machines. I'm glad I don't travel for work

07:26 PM skunkworks: (I don't know who all is coming)
07:28 PM cakeslob: Yeah exactly. I don't know if I brought too much stuff or not enough. Cradek is getting free stuff for sure I hope
07:29 PM cakeslob: I think I've been idolizing all you guys internally,
07:29 PM skunkworks: LOL - I feel the same..
07:33 PM cakeslob: Hymn set up tiny CNBC machines or do the free stuff
07:35 PM cakeslob: I have free boards for 18 people and cables for the rest. There better be 20 interested devs . I'll feel stupid if there's not....
07:35 PM XXCoder: what if its 50? ;)
07:36 PM cakeslob: That would be great . I have cables for everyone
07:36 PM cakeslob: If I make them now
07:36 PM cakeslob: Hotel room lights stuck
07:41 PM cakeslob: Kinda wish I had a laptop....or a phone that's not 10 years old with data
07:41 PM cakeslob: Maybe a credit card that worked with swipe machines.....and weed. America is weird
07:42 PM skunkworks: lol - not legal in WI
07:42 PM skunkworks: yet
07:43 PM skunkworks: oh - and andy - can't wait to see andy!
07:46 PM cakeslob: Aside from some machinekit guys. I get the impression everyone is older....
07:47 PM skunkworks: Lol - well - a lot of us have been doing this a long time..
07:47 PM skunkworks: I am almost 50
07:48 PM cakeslob: Like a vintage motorcycle club
07:48 PM skunkworks: but computer literate...
07:48 PM cakeslob: Yeah I look like an old man compared to you guys
07:49 PM skunkworks: well - I have grey hair since mid 20's - had kids late.. So I get called grandpa a lot.
07:49 PM cakeslob: But I'm CNC by trade. I've never done a PowerPoint grab makes me look like a old man by comparison
07:50 PM cakeslob: Gean*
07:50 PM skunkworks: lol - just putting in the effort - everone will love it.
07:50 PM cakeslob: And he's like 70 years older than me
07:51 PM skunkworks: are you 10? ;)
07:51 PM cakeslob: Geans almost 100 and the guy does shit I have no idea.
07:52 PM cakeslob: Time to troll the lobby for some euro guys
08:05 PM cakeslob: Wait , these machinekit guys are European right?
08:35 PM Tom_L: skunkworks, take lots of pics
09:40 PM Lcvette[m]: Getting a weird random error that stops linuxcnc, whats weird is that all tools are in the carousel (except the one in the spindle) and it completed the tool change and proceeded to start cutting before this pops up.. never seen it before
09:40 PM * Lcvette[m] uploaded an image: (416KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/download/matrix.org/zIhVKiwXFICytZCMQiGmFAvJ/IMG_20230421_201912015_20230421223802.jpg >
09:45 PM Lcvette[m]: This is file shared from Sublime Text
09:46 PM * Lcvette[m] posted a file: (4KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/download/matrix.org/uJalJtUuabHrMqqZEWTzEnvR/toolchange.ngc >
09:46 PM XXCoder: strange. it shouldnt warn that tool holder is empty when said tool is on spindle.
09:47 PM Lcvette[m]: This is the file the error originates from, not sure if there is a deejay in non realtime maybe causing the check to complete after the tools been removed from the var file?
09:47 PM Lcvette[m]: s/deejay/delay/
09:49 PM Lcvette[m]: When the error occurs, the tools is Ajay cutting and linuxcnc just stops
09:50 PM Lcvette[m]: I have to estop out it
09:54 PM Lcvette[m]: XXCoder: I know it's really odd
09:55 PM Lcvette[m]: I'm going to dump the var file, maybe it's corrupt
09:55 PM XXCoder: yeah not sure whats happening. hope someone knows
09:55 PM Lcvette[m]: Let it write a new one
10:27 PM cakeslob: hmm it was probably that group of nerds in the bar, ill just introduce my selkf tomorrow when im hungover
