12:22 AM XXCoder: hey CaptHindsight things getting better?
12:35 AM CaptHindsight: not dead, so I'd say so
12:35 AM XXCoder: ok
12:35 AM CaptHindsight: springlike weather here today so no complaints
12:36 AM XXCoder: man
12:37 AM CaptHindsight: $1777/gram for my stuff USA price
12:37 AM XXCoder: it should be capped to price of gold, by gram
12:37 AM XXCoder: active only, no filler counted
12:41 AM CaptHindsight: they have pricing all pretty well figured out in the USA between insurance co's, hospitals and doc's
12:42 AM CaptHindsight: doc's know the steps needed to get the insurance co to approve whatever tests are needed
12:43 AM CaptHindsight: can't have test xxx before test xyz
12:45 AM CaptHindsight: same for meds
01:01 AM XXCoder: yeah
01:02 AM onceloved: Why does the spindle not rotate when returning when tapping in g84?
01:05 AM CaptHindsight: https://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/g-code.html#gcode:g84
01:06 AM CaptHindsight: https://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/g-code.html#gcode:preliminary-motion
01:17 AM onceloved: Thanks
01:45 AM Deejay: moin
04:25 AM Tom_L: morning
04:41 AM Tom_L: JT-Cave, pause should be enabled upon 'run program'
04:41 AM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/cnc/JT-SHOP/flexgui/Flex_conversion_pause_enable.png
04:43 AM Tom_L: feedrate status isn't updated
04:43 AM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/cnc/JT-SHOP/flexgui/Flex_conversion2.png
04:43 AM Tom_L: been working on jet
05:05 AM JT-Cave: morning
05:09 AM rifraf: Tom_L you can use variables like <depth> in your gcode?
05:17 AM lcnc-relay: <f4hvx> Hello there !
05:18 AM lcnc-relay: <f4hvx> Do you think it's a good idea to remove endstop/home switch to replace them by hall sensors ? Are hall sensors accurate ?
05:19 AM lcnc-relay: <f4hvx> I guess it's fine for endstop, but not accurate enought for homing
05:23 AM jpa-: inductive sensors can get about 0.01 mm accuracy, but i'm not sure about hall sensors
05:23 AM jpa-: it probably depends a lot on the mechanical construction
05:28 AM lcnc-relay: <f4hvx> I guess it should be indicated in the datahseet of the sensor. I will check. It's sensors removed from a solar pannel assembly line
05:28 AM lcnc-relay: <f4hvx> (at the scrapyard)
06:02 AM mrec_: can anyone help me with GD&T? https://s3.amazonaws.com/i.snag.gy/fzYGHc.jpg
06:03 AM mrec_: diameter 2.5mm ok depth 4mm ok
06:03 AM mrec_: M3x0.5 - 6H depth 6mm? that's unclear
06:04 AM mrec_: what's 6H in that manner and how comes tapping 6mm depth while the drilled hole is only supposed to be 4mm
06:06 AM cpresser: M3 has a pitch of 0.5mm. Perhaps that is supposed to mean 6 turns?
06:07 AM mrec_: that must be fine pitch 0.35mm
06:09 AM mrec_: ah pitch should probably be 0.5 you're right
06:10 AM mrec_: and the rest is just wrong
06:10 AM mrec_: (I guess)
07:52 AM zyp: 6H is the thread tolerance
08:11 AM Tom_L: sunny High 74F today
08:18 AM Tom_L: https://tameson.com/pages/thread-tolerance-chart
08:18 AM Tom_L: 6 is the class H is zero deviation of that class
08:20 AM Tom_L: Internal threads only use G and H, and external threads use a-h
08:21 AM Tom_L: mrec_, ^^
08:27 AM Tom_L: https://mae.ufl.edu/designlab/Online%20Resources_files/fastener_handout.pdf
08:27 AM Tom_L: that one looks pretty good too
08:57 AM roycroft: well i'm off for my closing appointment in a few minutes
08:58 AM roycroft: my life is going to be very very busy for a while
08:59 AM skunkworks: roycroft: good luck!
09:03 AM roycroft: thanks
09:04 AM roycroft: the new place is not really my main concern
09:04 AM roycroft: the moving part is a big deal
09:04 AM roycroft: dealing with the old house probably a bigger deal
09:04 AM roycroft: it needs a *lot* of work before it can be sold
09:04 AM roycroft: much of which i cannot do even if i want to
09:05 AM * roycroft at this point is hoping to break even on the old place
09:08 AM skunkworks: yeck'
09:08 AM roycroft: one end of the house has settled almost 4"
09:08 AM roycroft: the foundation work is going to be very expensive
09:09 AM roycroft: and what i thought was the result of the settling which caused some of the tiles to crack in the bathroom turned out to be dry rot, and the bathroom needs to be completely gutted and rebuilt
09:11 AM roycroft: and a big section of fence needs to be replaced where the unhoused folks destroyed it trying to move in to camp
09:11 AM roycroft: i'm not sure if i'll need to do that to sell the place or not
09:11 AM roycroft: my agent thinks i probably should, but also understands all the other expense
09:12 AM roycroft: on top of all this, because of the decline in the neighborhood, and the high interest rates, housing values are actually going down in my neighborhood
09:12 AM * roycroft thinks he's getting out just in time, though
09:21 AM JT-Shop: Tom_L, I'm completely rewriting the enable/disable code
09:21 AM Unterhaus_ is now known as Unterhausen
10:25 AM justache is now known as fotastache
10:29 AM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> we lucked out and sold a house right before the crash..
10:32 AM Tom_L: JT-Shop, come up with a better plan?
10:46 AM Tom_L: JT-Shop, i _was_ able to run the jet gui along side axis but had to use axis for a few things that weren't finished
10:47 AM Tom_L: learned about menus and toolbars
10:58 AM JT-Cave: yeah findChild has failed to find a widget at least once so the solution is to use a much faster code of getting all the widgets and action name into a list as if item in some_list: is faster
10:59 AM Tom_L: must be a child like sid
10:59 AM JT-Cave: https://github.com/jethornton/flexgui/blob/master/flexgui/src/libflexgui/startup.py#L16
11:00 AM JT-Cave: so ATM nothing works if you pull... except enable disable
11:00 AM Tom_L: i saw part of that this morning unless you changed that
11:01 AM Tom_L: for a while something was looking for pause_lb or something like that and it wasn't there since i'd moved those to the toolbar
11:02 AM Tom_L: that seemed to go away, maybe you fixed it
11:02 AM JT-Cave: I am fixing that
11:02 AM Tom_L: i forget what it was now
11:03 AM Tom_L: took a while to get mesact to a workable point too. i expect that
11:05 AM JT-Cave: yup as you code then discover problems or better ways you code again and again and again until it's right
11:05 AM Tom_L: i'm still fixing code i did 20 yrs ago or more
11:06 AM Tom_L: this stuff is mostly greek to me or i'd maybe dive in
11:08 AM Roguish: good morning....
11:08 AM Tom_L: hi
11:22 AM lcnc-relay: <schoch_> how do you install python modules accessable to halrun loadusr scripts?
11:25 AM lcnc-relay: <schoch_> is there a way to use venv or do you need to install modules globally?
11:27 AM Tom_L: this might have something on that: http://linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/hal/comp.html
11:32 AM lcnc-relay: <schoch_> doesn't seem to
11:32 AM Tom_L: then idk
11:32 AM lcnc-relay: <schoch_> nothing re venv, pip, and only 2 matches on python
11:53 AM lcnc-relay: <schoch_> pip --break-system-packages works but that seems bad...
11:57 AM * JT-Cave goes to work on the machine shop door
12:24 PM Unterhausen: reddit delivers "my wife is considering divorcing me because she's not comfortable that I'm a sociopath"
12:39 PM * roycroft owns the new house now
12:39 PM roycroft: it's time for life to get crazy for a few months, even more so than usual
12:55 PM JT-Shop: sign your life away?
12:57 PM roycroft: yeah
12:57 PM roycroft: the loan is not scheduled to be paid off until i'm dead :)
12:57 PM JT-Shop: lol
12:57 PM roycroft: payments are cheap enough that i should be able to pay it off early
12:57 PM roycroft: right now it all depends on what it costs to get my current house marketable, and what i can get out of it
12:58 PM roycroft: i think i won't be upside-down on it, but i don't think i'll make much
01:06 PM -!- #linuxcnc mode set to +v by ChanServ
01:27 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> you just need 2 people that want it.. 🙂
01:42 PM * JT-Shop thinks he might just get the machine shop man door back in today
01:56 PM XXCoder: roycroft: nice. yeah pretty good timing on move. breaking even is a whole lot better than big loss or house colliping and gone
02:08 PM JT-Shop: https://youtu.be/ipDMbpKfij0?list=PLH4J0b3KfGaNED27Y1kCvS_mSQtyXsiwC&t=993
02:08 PM JT-Shop: brutal
02:09 PM XXCoder: yeah. even at my health peak I wouldnt be able to do that lol
02:10 PM JT-Shop: Steve started building the boat when he hit 30
02:11 PM XXCoder: and hes looking like early 40
02:11 PM JT-Shop: he's 36 in that video
02:12 PM JT-Shop: if you notice the numbers on the samson post that's the days until launch... ready or not
02:14 PM * Tom_L feels a nap is in order
02:20 PM lcnc-relay: <xxcodery> https://tenor.com/view/sleep-sleepy-head-ikea-bed-bedtime-gif-16576805
02:31 PM XXCoder: https://youtu.be/rhTWeiOmnoE man that is insane. even if guy just recycled the clockwork
05:15 PM Tom_L: quiet day
05:23 PM XXCoder: yep
05:23 PM XXCoder: did you see that watch video? pretty cool
05:24 PM * JT-Shop takes 5 before finishing up the brick mold
05:24 PM XXCoder: lulian b wanted to look for pathpilot v2 from tormach but havent asked in here lol
05:37 PM * JT-Shop had to carve 1/4" from the 2x6 door frame starting at the top and tapering to near the bottom
05:42 PM Tom_L: wall leaning?
05:42 PM JT-Shop: floor settled a bit over the years due to a rookie mistake
05:42 PM XXCoder: oh boy
06:50 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> so.. the rear transmission holds about 10 gallons of oil.. I just drained almost 20 gallons of 'liquid' out of it.
06:51 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> https://jauriarts.org/_matrix/media/v1/download/jauriarts.org/PiwUYPtxTRlqiYkabHCTxoPS
06:51 PM JT-Shop: that's not a good sign
06:52 PM XXCoder: ow
06:59 PM Tom_L: the color tells a story
07:00 PM Tom_L: if it were the engine, the bearings would be shot
07:01 PM JT-Shop: I did get the new brick mold installed so no more holes in the wall lol
07:01 PM Tom_L: heh
07:02 PM Tom_L: this old house is pretty uneven too but it's ~100 yrs old
07:03 PM XXCoder: this house is over 80, not too bad, besides having to install sump pumps
07:03 PM JT-Shop: it should be done settling by no
07:03 PM JT-Shop: w
07:03 PM Tom_L: however the wood back then will bend the toughest nails
07:03 PM XXCoder: the front stairs is bit slanted
07:03 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> I think it is years of condensation...
07:03 PM Tom_L: that's alot of condensation
07:03 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> looks good now. Took it up one of the hills - feels strong
07:04 PM Tom_L: sure rain didn't find a way in?
07:04 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> Or water is draining into it some how. I don't know how
07:04 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> The fill and vent is under the seat
07:04 PM Tom_L: more missing seals?
07:04 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> no clue
07:04 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> maybe
07:04 PM Tom_L: don't know much about those things
07:05 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> It should be in a building.. I mean - if I cleaned some spaces out - I could probably put all the tractors inside
07:06 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> Dad always wanted to put a fiberglass satalite dish as the roof.. ;0
07:07 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> there is a transmission in front of the rear transmission... the front one looks great
07:07 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> oil looks clean
07:27 PM Tom_L: my kid works 3rd and last night they saw spacex reentry
07:27 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/temp/spacex/spacex_reentry.mp4
07:30 PM Tom_L: headed toward the gulf
07:34 PM Tom_L: the other kid said he probably made parts for it
07:36 PM Tom_L: JT-Shop, did you get anywhere with the startup logic?
