12:56 AM rifraf: trying out parting tool upside down https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2YBMQ0zRGhM
01:33 AM Deejay: moin
01:34 AM XXCoder: rifraf: wouldnt leave parts where it would draft to lathe head lol. but otherwise interesting
01:38 AM rifraf: XXCoder yep good point, added some suspense :)
01:39 AM XXCoder: I know its not really all that dangerous because of 10x but yeah lol
04:45 AM Tom_L: morning
04:52 AM Tom_L: rifraf, did any of that polish work out?
05:07 AM rifraf: Tom_L yep will use the red tripoli and then green, then finish with the liquid autosol
05:33 AM jfsimon1981_b is now known as jfsimon
06:03 AM JT-Cave: morning
06:04 AM JT-Cave: <Tom_L> that's done with task_state right?
06:04 AM JT-Cave: right
07:47 AM Tom_L: also moved 2 jog functions over from jet while testing
08:06 AM JT-Cave: one of the huge problems with jet was the gui didn't stay in sync with emc and that's what I solved yesterday
08:07 AM JT-Cave: https://github.com/jethornton/flexgui/blob/master/flexgui/src/libflexgui/status.py#L117
09:17 AM Unterhaus_ is now known as Unterhausen
09:18 AM Unterhausen: microjig wanted me to disable my ad blocker on their site. What kind of company runs ads on their own site and has an ad blocker detector?
09:19 AM Tom_L: i've seen a handfull
09:20 AM Tom_L: none i see thru to the end
09:21 AM Unterhausen: I have some of their stuff, it's a legit company
09:21 AM Unterhausen: they make the grrripper. Not sure if that's the right number of 'r's
09:22 AM Unterhausen: okay, it's grr-ripper
09:23 AM JT-Cave: I would tell them sure you turn off all the ads and I'll turn off my ad blocker
09:24 AM JT-Cave: is it really 9:30?
09:26 AM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> daylight savings time.. I think
09:26 AM JT-Cave: Tom_L, I'm focusing on enable/disable controls and actions right now so the only thing I expect to work is status labels
09:28 AM Tom_L: no rush on my part
09:28 AM Tom_L: i just wanted to see how broke jet was :)
09:29 AM Tom_L: it will be a good example when it does work
09:30 AM Tom_L: i don't feel there's much else i can do to help
09:39 AM JT-Cave: keep trying to break it :)
09:42 AM JT-Cave: https://paste.debian.net/1310152/ does axis do anything different than that?
10:14 AM Tom_L: file open crashed on jet iirc last night
10:15 AM Tom_L: i dunno about flood/mist if they resume after power on
10:16 AM Tom_L: i would almost treat estop/power as a manual check list
10:17 AM JT-Cave: I'm not sure what you mean
10:17 AM JT-Cave: manual check list?
10:17 AM Tom_L: if something causes estop, turn everything off and reset them one at a time manually
10:17 AM Tom_L: except logic power
10:19 AM JT-Cave: how would you enable the controls manually?
10:20 AM Tom_L: i mean auxillary things like coolant spindle etc
10:21 AM Tom_L: i honestly don't remember how they treat that on commercial machines
10:23 AM JT-Cave: how would you enable the coolant button manually?
10:24 AM Tom_L: i had those buttons for coolant
10:24 AM Tom_L: i'm not sure it's critical either way but it does give the operator pause to make sure things are all resumed properly
10:25 AM JT-Cave: I think we are talking about different things
10:25 AM Tom_L: maybe
10:26 AM Tom_L: i think your list looks pretty complete
10:26 AM Tom_L: near as i can tell
10:27 AM Tom_L: i think you're talking about making the buttons available for service opposed to their state
10:27 AM Tom_L: ie, you can't home without power on etc
10:29 AM JT-Cave: correct
10:30 AM JT-Cave: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmwQMZp8zzA
10:30 AM Tom_L: i _think_ mdi may be included in line 7 but i'm not positive
10:31 AM JT-Cave: mdi is only allowed when it's powered on and homed
10:31 AM Tom_L: ok
10:31 AM JT-Cave: unless you have no force homing I think
10:31 AM JT-Cave: I'd have to test that
10:37 AM Tom_L: axis: estop enabled, power on, mdi works
10:37 AM Tom_L: on the axis sim anyway
10:37 AM Tom_L: but
10:38 AM Tom_L: it throws an error if you try to use it :)
10:38 AM Tom_L: s/estop enabled, power on, mdi works/axis: estop enabled, power on, mdi is enabled
10:39 AM Tom_L: which could be a flaw on jeff's part
10:42 AM JT-Cave: yup you can't mdi if your not homed
10:42 AM Tom_L: so having it enabled won't matter if it's homed. it will throw an error if it isn't
10:42 AM JT-Cave: I'd rather not have it enabled and give an error
10:42 AM Tom_L: right, but it worked for this test
10:45 AM JT-Cave: ypu
10:45 AM JT-Cave: and the run button is enabled in axis even if your not homed or have a file loaded lol
10:46 AM Tom_L: he does generate his own warning on that though, not a 'system' warning
10:46 AM JT-Cave: are you sure?
10:47 AM Tom_L: but if you push run, you do get the 'system' not homed error
10:47 AM Tom_L: if you push the 'run anyway' button
10:47 AM Tom_L: so yes, that should be disabled too
10:48 AM JT-Cave: I don't get run anyway when not homed in axis
10:48 AM Tom_L: sometimes i will square blocks etc manually with the mpg without homing
10:49 AM Tom_L: 3 steps to get that: enable estop, power on, push the run button
10:51 AM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/cnc/JT-SHOP/flexgui/homing_error.png
10:51 AM Tom_L: then if you push run anyway, you get the unhomed error
10:52 AM Tom_L: but you may not get that on a machine that has no hard limits but uses soft limits
10:52 AM Tom_L: i dunno about that
10:53 AM Tom_L: and has that ini setting to remember the position on power off... i forget what it's called
10:55 AM Tom_L: that setting came up in discussion here within a couple weeks ago
11:01 AM Tom_L: POSITION_FILE =
11:01 AM Tom_L: i've never used it
12:07 PM JT-Cave: program exceeds limits is another problem not related to a file not being loaded
12:08 PM JT-Cave: if you have OPEN_FILE = "" axis starts without a file
01:10 PM Unterhausen: myspacebarisn'tworkingprobablybecauseofdoghair
01:10 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> lol
01:11 PM Unterhausen: that seemed to be the problem
01:38 PM JT-Shop: one more reservation to go and I'm ready for my trip
01:38 PM Tom_L: that reminds me i need to update one
01:39 PM Tom_L: the nieces wanted to go with us
01:39 PM JT-Shop: where too?

01:40 PM Tom_L: so that will be fun
01:40 PM JT-Shop: southwest says I can get my boarding passes 24 hours before the flight... do you just print them out?
01:40 PM Tom_L: you can put them on your phone if you want
01:40 PM Tom_L: she usually does both
01:40 PM JT-Shop: ah ok
01:41 PM Tom_L: then you just scan your phone at the gate
01:41 PM JT-Shop: I've not flown in a long time
01:41 PM Tom_L: the seats in coach are alot closer together than they used to be
01:42 PM JT-Shop: glad it's not a long flight to LAS
01:42 PM Tom_L: right
01:42 PM Tom_L: i'd print as well as phone in case of cell service
01:44 PM JT-Shop: yup
01:44 PM Tom_L: we generally use delta, not sure i've ever been on SW
01:44 PM Tom_L: i'm sure it's all the same
01:44 PM JT-Shop: sw doesn't assign seats
01:44 PM Tom_L: hmm
01:45 PM Tom_L: get there early then
01:45 PM Tom_L: :)

01:55 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> hmmm - I found a photo of steam engine castings.. I wonder where those are hidden

02:09 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> Thanks - it was a learning experience
02:10 PM Tom_L: better than a brass hammer :)
02:42 PM Unterhausen: snow and wind all day. Little dog and I are going on a road trip to punxsutawney to have a word with the groundhog
02:45 PM JT-Shop: I should get the farm jack out and pull some T posts
02:46 PM JT-Shop: not sure I'm up to installing the new mailbox post
02:46 PM Tom_L: luckily every time i've needed a hole, my neighbor has brought his auger over
02:47 PM JT-Shop: the hole is there but I'm sure there will be some post hole digging to get the new one in
02:47 PM Tom_L: even on the patio he got a 12" concrete hole saw from his work to bore thru for those posts
02:48 PM JT-Shop: good neighbor to have
02:48 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/patio/patio2.jpg
02:48 PM Tom_L: yes
02:48 PM Tom_L: he's retired and in poor health now
02:50 PM Tom_L: he did maintanance for a major construction company here
02:54 PM Tom_L: do you put gravel at the bottom?
03:02 PM JT-Shop: I don't remember, I planted the original one in 1998
03:03 PM JT-Shop: got the farm jack down to the T posts... time for a break
03:06 PM JT-Shop: I was going to make a T post puller for the farm jack but decided to just use a chain
03:06 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> I used a core drill to go through a slab.. It worked really well. Kept it wet
03:08 PM Tom_L: i suppose that's what you would call them
03:15 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> don't know if it was carbide or diamond.
03:15 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> probably carbide
03:15 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> actually - it might have been diamonc
03:15 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> diamond
03:18 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> https://jauriarts.org/_matrix/media/v1/download/jauriarts.org/KbDcGlHCZqqEcDIBCygSzlvj
03:18 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> diamond
03:20 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> that has drilled through atleast 10 inches of concrete...
03:36 PM * JT-Shop gets winded easy today
03:45 PM JT-Shop: but at least I can do a bit of work today
03:49 PM Tom_L: sure it was just the flu?
03:50 PM JT-Shop: not sure of anything
04:02 PM JT-Shop: well I'm sure that I felt like crap, had a sore throat, no energy, slept a lot and took dayquil or nyquil every 4 hours
