01:09 AM Deejay: moin
04:57 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer> Morning 🙂
05:00 AM JT-Cave: morning
05:45 AM Tom_L: morning
07:33 AM JT-Cave: https://gnipsel.com/linuxcnc/flexgui/labels.html#velocity-labels
08:08 AM JT-Cave: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qv_neakUZnA
08:19 AM Tom_L: you leaving the spindle as spindle_0 ?
08:33 AM JT-Cave: haven't got that far yet
08:33 AM Tom_L: ok
08:41 AM JT-Cave: https://gnipsel.com/linuxcnc/flexgui/labels.html#velocity-labels
08:42 AM Tom_L: i was just looking at that
08:49 AM Tom_L: what did you do for the individual velocity in the YT?
09:10 AM Tom_L: JT-Cave, have you pushed the two_vel_lb three_vel_lb yet?
09:13 AM JT-Cave: just pushed the xyz.ui with two_vel_lb
09:13 AM Tom_L: i added one to mine but it didn't do anything yet
09:14 AM Tom_L: the individual x y z work
09:15 AM Tom_L: btw, you're running out of point version numbers x.x.x
09:15 AM Tom_L: 0.6.0
09:16 AM JT-Cave: added what?
09:18 AM Tom_L: the two_vel_lb
09:19 AM Tom_L: as the X & Y are moving about a circle, the XY remains at the commanded speed
09:19 AM JT-Cave: did you tell it which joints to use?
09:19 AM Tom_L: X + Y = XY
09:19 AM Tom_L: yes, it's working
09:19 AM JT-Cave: as it should
09:22 AM Tom_L: you can't remove dynamic properties once you've added them can you?
09:25 AM JT-Cave: yes
09:25 AM JT-Cave: red minus sign after you select the dynamic property
09:25 AM Tom_L: duh
09:25 AM JT-Cave: run a program where the commanded speed is not achievable
09:25 AM JT-Cave: like the 3d chips one
09:27 AM Tom_L: can i have more than one two_vel_lb?
09:28 AM Tom_L: xy xz yz for example
09:28 AM Tom_L: the 2nd & 3rd one don't work as configured
09:32 AM JT-Cave: no, the names will change in designer as you can't have the same name more than once
09:32 AM JT-Cave: if you add two_vel_lb then add it again it will become two_vel_lb_2
09:33 AM Tom_L: exactly
09:33 AM Tom_L: it was more a 'can you fix it' question :)
09:33 AM JT-Cave: it would be possible to have xy_vel_lb, xz_vel_lb, yz_vel_lb
09:34 AM JT-Cave: but I think the three_vel_lb just handles it all
09:37 AM Tom_L: yeah it combines all 3
09:40 AM Tom_L: gonna push my ui i think
09:40 AM * JT-Shop heads to Wolf Creek to ride
09:47 AM Tom_L: PR #24 is up
09:54 AM rdtsc_away is now known as rdtsc
10:07 AM Tom_L: rdtsc, just posted a new flexgui rpi deb
10:25 AM rdtsc: Tom_L: one quirk with spindle fwd; if initially clicked (active) then spindle + clicked, does not update displayed speed until either stop or spindle fwd is clicked again.
10:25 AM rdtsc: Tom_L: for Spindle_Rev, it updates the direction label as Fwd. :
10:26 AM rdtsc: But things are looking nice, lets see what the Hal stuff is doing
10:27 AM rdtsc: Tom_L: Hal buttons work as expected, with the note that initially flexhal.rb_off is low.
10:28 AM rdtsc: (and neither on nor off are selected)
10:33 AM rdtsc: Tom_L: the graphics are a solid black box (I get that a lot for some reason.) Loading chips, homing, changing to tool 1 and Run Program immediately stops with just "Error" on the status bar.
10:33 AM rdtsc: Could be out of machine bounds, but can't see it to correct it.
10:39 AM Tom_L: he's still working on a couple of those
10:40 AM Tom_L: the plotter isn't coded yet, that's a placeholder
11:02 AM rdtsc: Otherwise workin' great. :)
11:03 AM rdtsc: ok off to appease the missus
11:11 AM JT-Shop: rdtsc, does Tom_L have an error tab?
11:12 AM Tom_L: yes
11:13 AM Tom_L: back after while
11:13 AM rdtsc is now known as rdtsc_away
11:14 AM JT-Cave: ok latest release updated with arm64
11:15 AM Tom_L: since my pr?
11:15 AM Tom_L: meh, nevermind... i read that as amd64
11:16 AM Tom_L: i added the vel labels to mine in status
11:38 AM JT-Cave: just pushed spindle fwd/rev checkable code
11:41 AM JT-Cave: rdtsc radio buttons are not selected by default unless you set one rb checked in the designer
11:41 AM JT-Cave: then at startup that one will be checked
11:43 AM JT-Cave: nap time here
11:48 AM JT-Cave: https://gnipsel.com/linuxcnc/flexgui/hal.html
12:33 PM lcnc-relay: <roguish> JT-Cave: very nice doc....
12:35 PM Tom_L: roguish, i updated my ui as well this morning
12:37 PM lcnc-relay: <roguish> Tom_L: i'll try and check it oout later.....
12:37 PM Tom_L: i moved them to the example folder on my site
12:37 PM Tom_L: or in the deb
12:38 PM Tom_L: i think...
01:10 PM * JT-Shop thinks it's time to make a flexible GUI for the BP knee mill
01:10 PM Tom_L: should be ready enough for that
01:14 PM Tom_L: manual mode button should be disabled during auto
01:14 PM Tom_L: and enabled after program stop etc is pushed
01:15 PM -!- #linuxcnc mode set to +v by ChanServ
01:15 PM Tom_dev: Error
01:15 PM Tom_dev: Can't switch mode while mode is AUTO and interpreter is not IDLE
01:16 PM JT-Shop: that sounds correct
01:17 PM Tom_L: it's the error i got when i pushed manual mode button while the program was running
01:17 PM Tom_L: cleaner to disable it then
01:18 PM Tom_L: spindle stuff seems alot better now
01:18 PM Tom_L: direction etc
01:19 PM JT-Shop: I don't even think we need a manual button any more, it's all taken care of in the code
01:20 PM Tom_L: that's up to you
01:20 PM Tom_L: i don't think i've used it lately. it was there still so i pushed it...
01:21 PM Tom_L: if you were using a pendant would you need it there to switch to manual for that?
01:21 PM Tom_L: haven't been able to test on hardware here
01:23 PM JT-Shop: no, it switches to manual mode after anything
01:31 PM Tom_L: you gonna mod xyz for the bp or start over?
01:35 PM JT-Shop: start from scratch using the docs as a guide
01:37 PM JT-Shop: I've not seen the mode end up other than manual after a mdi or running a program have you?
01:38 PM Tom_L: would it be a good idea to disable rev if fwd is active until you push stop? so you don't go from 10k rpm fwd to 10k rpm rev or blow something up
01:38 PM Tom_L: and vise versa
01:39 PM JT-Shop: I think that's up to the user... but that makes me wonder about a dynamic property to select that option
01:40 PM Tom_L: a noob may not think of that until it's too late
01:40 PM JT-Shop: well if you're building your own gui I don't think your a noob
01:41 PM JT-Shop: one of my pet peeves is to not force anything on someone that doesn't want or need it
01:42 PM Tom_L: true
01:42 PM JT-Shop: I think my deer wandered off so time to check the feeder
01:43 PM Tom_L: how many you got now?
01:43 PM JT-Shop: but having options is a good thing like the option to disable rev if in fwd etc
01:43 PM JT-Shop: 6, 2 mommas and 4 utes
01:44 PM JT-Shop: I moved the feeder a bit yesterday as it was empty and they have not used it so far
01:47 PM JT-Shop: well she is back
02:15 PM XXCoder: video demo is cool
02:16 PM XXCoder: I like the ui I think
02:32 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer> https://jauriarts.org/_matrix/media/v3/download/jauriarts.org/GprmolCgTxmffZwOdrDmvEWO/20240512_125213.jpg
02:32 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer> had a fine day down on the coast today. Mom loved her lobster roll 🙂
02:54 PM XXCoder: did you guys catch the aurora?
02:54 PM XXCoder: I saw some 2 nights ago, last night it didnt
03:07 PM solarwind: I must say, CAD/CAM is very fun especially as you get better with it
03:07 PM solarwind: if I had more time, I'd create an open source fusion360 clone but better
03:08 PM solarwind: it's fun modelling things around you
03:09 PM CaptHindsight: we had rain here the night with the best show
03:10 PM CaptHindsight: last night from 3-5am was the time to see anything but I went bed early
03:11 PM solarwind: heh, peeping Tom ^
03:11 PM XXCoder: went to bed at 1 am pst
03:11 PM XXCoder: here I got lucky that few days we had start of mini summer
03:11 PM XXCoder: o it was hotter and no clouds
03:12 PM XXCoder: its ending tomorrow
03:12 PM XXCoder: 80s f
03:12 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer> was 53F at the coast
03:12 PM XXCoder: I can walk to coast ;)
03:13 PM CaptHindsight: solarwind: https://forum.linuxcnc.org/show-your-stuff/32672-linuxcnc-logo?start=50#243586 have time to finish this?
03:13 PM XXCoder: granted its inlet sea but yeah
03:13 PM JT-Cave: damn got 3 eggs again today
03:13 PM XXCoder: is it more or less than usual?
03:13 PM solarwind: CaptHindsight not so good with art
03:13 PM CaptHindsight: I think the source was in NX if you want it
03:14 PM JT-Cave: more than usual with only 3 hens that are 4 years old and one that is 7
03:15 PM CaptHindsight: I was going to make all the moving parts for a toy that could be milled or 3d printed
03:15 PM lcnc-relay: <xxcodery> https://jauriarts.org/_matrix/media/v3/download/jauriarts.org/pmcHefGZFKZRZeLyfEKmnRtZ/1a50cab91098c0b55e47b73d0955ae51.png

03:16 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer> lol
03:21 PM XXCoder: probably one of my favorite chicken-related cartoon lol
04:06 PM rdtsc_away is now known as rdtsc
04:14 PM JT-Shop: when my hens stop laying they can enjoy retired life as long as they live
04:16 PM XXCoder: nice
04:16 PM JT-Shop: and they are very spoiled for sure
04:25 PM XXCoder: yeah perfectly fine for me. clean kill and eat or just let them retire and expire in peace is fine
04:28 PM XXCoder: only stuff I hate is uneeded suffering and cockfights
04:44 PM JT-Shop: chickens can be pretty cruel for example a banti if it's weak or sick the rest will kill it
04:44 PM XXCoder: yeah
04:44 PM XXCoder: just leaving that be is unneeded suffering
04:45 PM JT-Shop: it's impossible to watch them 24/7
04:45 PM XXCoder: yeah
04:46 PM JT-Shop: I have had separate hens that were being picked on and change things to stop that
04:46 PM XXCoder: youre an good guy thats why :)

08:42 PM XXCoder: .
08:42 PM Tom_L: o
08:42 PM Tom_L: O
08:42 PM Tom_L: it's raining here
08:43 PM XXCoder: its clear here, hopefully can see the aurora though I doubt it. friday was strongest and it was barely even visible
08:49 PM roycroft: we're supposed to have another go at an aurora tonight, and the forecast is better than last night
08:50 PM XXCoder: yeah from what I understand, its last chance
08:51 PM roycroft: 10:30pm-2am is supposed to be the best time, dso if i'm up that late and not on pain meds i might take a little drive away from the city light pollution and see what i can see
08:52 PM XXCoder: its too hard to get far enough from tacoma, olumpus, and seattle lights
08:52 PM roycroft: i've seen somr pretty spectacular aroras before, so i'm not stressing over this
08:53 PM roycroft: a 20 minute drive would be fine here
08:53 PM XXCoder: your home lighting level would need 2 hour drive for me I think
08:53 PM roycroft: if i had stayed at the new house tonight it would be plenty dark right at home
08:53 PM XXCoder: your 20 minutes, probably 3 to 4
08:54 PM roycroft: but ineeded to come home to the old place
08:54 PM roycroft: i'm repping the floor now, so i should be able to lay tile this week
08:55 PM roycroft: after that i can start moving
08:56 PM roycroft: my car broke yesterdaym though
08:56 PM roycroft: i think it needs a catalytic converter
08:56 PM XXCoder: ouch
08:56 PM roycroft: but i need to drive my pickup until it is fixed
08:57 PM roycroft: i hauled a load of awkward, light, bulkystuff up there today
08:57 PM Tom_L: how far between?
08:57 PM roycroft: but since i can't lift things i could not bring anything heavy
08:58 PM roycroft: 50 miles one-way
08:59 PM roycroft: it costs $8 to drive my car and $40 to drive my pickup
08:59 PM roycroft: there and back
08:59 PM roycroft: so he pickup never goes unless it's hauling stuff
09:00 PM roycroft: and if my trailer were roadworthy i'd load that up too
09:00 PM roycroft: but it needs some work that i was planning to do but now can't
09:01 PM Tom_L: flat bed or sides?
09:01 PM roycroft: flat bed at the moment, but the plan is to addshort sides
09:02 PM roycroft: metal tubing sides, for easy tie-downs
09:02 PM roycroft: and it's going to get a winch eventually
09:03 PM roycroft: the plan for now is just to replace a wheel bearing, instll new decking, and install lights
09:04 PM roycroft: fenders too
09:04 PM roycroft: but none of that can happen until august or so
09:05 PM roycroft: i was going to do it in june, and use it for part ofmy move
09:05 PM * roycroft might need to rent a trailer at some point
09:24 PM lcnc-relay: <xxcodery> https://jauriarts.org/_matrix/media/v3/download/jauriarts.org/BFRSMTWWunxKzncgvPMKQILJ/IMG_20240510_225602570.png
09:24 PM lcnc-relay: <xxcodery> this was friday
09:55 PM roycroft: i saw that earlier
10:36 PM -!- #linuxcnc mode set to +v by ChanServ
