01:48 AM lcnc-relay: <turboss> morning
03:41 AM mrec: https://www.homge.com.tw/images/7579 does anyone have a good idea how to clamp and center a round stock into that?
04:06 AM JT-Cave: morning
04:06 AM lcnc-relay: <Travis Farmer> Morning
05:11 AM Tom_L: morning
05:14 AM Tom_L: mrec, toe clamps?
05:30 AM Tom_L: that's what the new ones do
05:30 AM JT-Cave: ah ok
05:31 AM Tom_L: and i went off the sim result when i pushed em and that was a bad idea
05:31 AM Tom_L: was moving .500 and probing again but that proved to be too much for the distance i was backing off
05:32 AM Tom_L: and you calculate side A based on that probe distance less the backoff distance
05:35 AM Tom_L: mrec, these might be a bit more adjustable: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1285796294
05:37 AM Tom_L: mighty bite probably makes some as well
05:39 AM Tom_L: JT-Cave, the first set were easier because you didn't have to be as concerned about the backoff distance
05:40 AM Tom_L: the lesser angle, the base side was just longer
05:42 AM Tom_L: i'll try to find the originals and push them until i'm sure the work but i may have lost the metric set
05:42 AM Tom_L: s/the/they
05:44 AM mrec: Tom_L: I thought about, I would have to customize that (possibly within next week)
05:44 AM JT-Cave: ok
05:45 AM mrec: the corresponding clamps in the link are for sure too big
05:45 AM Tom_L: mrec, something similar to that is probably gonna be your best bet
05:46 AM Tom_L: you're always limited on space with a rotary
05:46 AM mrec: especially the one I have is a toy rotary
05:47 AM Tom_L: z is always a concern too or i'd suggest mounting a 3 jaw chuck to it
05:48 AM mrec: my mini mill is too small for that, and the large mitsubishi I still need to sort out how to keep the space clean there
05:48 AM mrec: the traditional milling guys next to it blow all the dirt onto that large CNC (for years)
05:49 AM mrec: I even think about running 2 NC controllers at the same time there (LinuxCNC controlling some parts, an Mitsubishi controlling the main machine)
06:50 AM JT-Cave: Tom_L, https://gnipsel.com/linuxcnc/flexgui/ini.html#open-file
08:04 AM lcnc-relay: <zincboy_ca_on> https://jauriarts.org/_matrix/media/v3/download/jauriarts.org/hKWRvwwkZdolGTEVMsBpQnpw/IMG_0519.jpg
08:04 AM lcnc-relay: <zincboy_ca_on> @mrec, depending on the size of the stock you can use a collet chuck that has a base plate. I made a plate that allows centering adjustment like an adjust-true lathe chuck. If you can constrained in Z then you can mount it directly to the table.
08:12 AM JT-Cave: nice
08:13 AM JT-Cave: Tom_L, after you build a deb I "think" I'm ready for 1.0.0
08:19 AM mrec: 2zincboy_ca_on: did you machine that 4/5th axis yourself?
08:21 AM lcnc-relay: <zincboy_ca_on> The 5th axis, yes. The 4th axis is a 300mm Tecnara unit.
08:22 AM JT-Cave: Tom_L, actually I have one more thing to do with probing before v1
08:22 AM mrec: well done, can you share which bearings you used for the 5th axis?
08:23 AM mrec: does it have a brake?
08:27 AM lcnc-relay: <zincboy_ca_on> It has a hydraulic brake and the bearing/reducer is a Sumitomo FineCyclo F1C-A35. It is a cycloidal reducer with integrated crossed roller bearing on the output.
08:35 AM mrec: which steel did you use for the base of the axis?
08:36 AM lcnc-relay: <zincboy_ca_on> https://jauriarts.org/_matrix/media/v3/download/jauriarts.org/EFgTbaxofLITfGrteyucQaNS/image.png
08:36 AM lcnc-relay: <zincboy_ca_on> The orange ring is the moving clamping surface and is pulled down by the pistons below the reducer. The green is the brake disk attached to the reducer output flange and the blue is the fixed lower brake surface.
08:37 AM mrec: very well done! would you share those project files? ^^
08:42 AM Tom_L: JT-Cave, lemme find those missing subs, push then build the deb
08:48 AM lcnc-relay: <zincboy_ca_on> The steel was just 1018. Started as a 4" chuck of steel. Rough machined 0.1" oversize, then stress relieved and normalized before finishing.
08:50 AM lcnc-relay: <zincboy_ca_on> The project files wouldn't be too useful as they are in Alibre and they are more of a working set than a finished assembly.
08:51 AM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.> I send my parts off to Barbados before final machining and then to X for normalization
08:52 AM lcnc-relay: <zincboy_ca_on> https://jauriarts.org/_matrix/media/v3/download/jauriarts.org/xrjltecKqlgASfcyyWcgdipJ/IMG_00441.JPEG
08:52 AM lcnc-relay: <zincboy_ca_on> After baking on a beach for a few hours 🙂
08:53 AM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.> https://www.alibre.com/buy-now/ pricing is not outrageous
08:53 AM JT-Cave: https://github.com/jethornton/flexgui/commits/master/examples
08:55 AM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.> the Milwaukee Makerspace has a small furnace and smaller crucibles for casting
08:55 AM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.> zincboy_ca_on parts your size would be handy
08:57 AM lcnc-relay: <zincboy_ca_on> I bought a used kiln for cheap and added a temperature controller. Lets me do heat treating on larger parts. Just takes forever to get to temperature
08:58 AM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.> I have to find a local caster/forge like Andy's to pour my parts since I'll print all the molds
08:59 AM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.> I did find someone local that casts aluminum
08:59 AM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.> they make commercial kitchen products
09:00 AM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.> steel casters are another story, not many left around these here parts
09:01 AM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.> https://wiki.milwaukeemakerspace.org/areas/casting
09:06 AM Tom_L: JT-Cave, PR #98 for angle subs
09:08 AM JT-Cave: ok
09:08 AM Tom_L: do what you do then i'l do what i do and make a deb
09:09 AM Tom_L: nice on the file open
09:09 AM Tom_L: did you keep the logos?
09:16 AM Tom_L: JT-Cave, PR #99 deb
09:26 AM Tom_L: JT-Cave, mdi history file looks better now too
09:26 AM Tom_L: using it fairly heavily last couple days it's 1.7k
09:27 AM lcnc-relay: <Travis Farmer> yes, i noticed that in mine. one item for a while now
09:30 AM lcnc-relay: <Travis Farmer> LMAO
09:31 AM Tom_L: does #5070 not change state with G38.2? just G38.3 * G38.5?
09:31 AM Tom_L: &
09:37 AM Tom_L: guess i could use G38.3 and display a message if it never trips
09:38 AM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.> when does flexgui get its own channel here?
09:39 AM lcnc-relay: <zincboy_ca_on> G38.2 will cause an error if it doesn't trip. It won't change #5070. Use 38.3 or 38.5 for automate probing when you are checking #5070.
09:39 AM Tom_L: tired of us?...sry
09:40 AM Tom_L: zincboy, 38.2 38.3 are the same other than the way the error is handled?
09:40 AM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.> doesn't it deserve its own dev channel?
09:40 AM Tom_L: maybe. i'm not on the board
09:41 AM lcnc-relay: <zincboy_ca_on> As far as I am aware, yes. 38.2 would usually be used for manual probing and 38.3 is for programming. At least that is how I use them.
09:41 AM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.> I'd like to make a motion to put Tom_L on the board
09:41 AM Tom_L: cool
09:41 AM Tom_L: not cool to capn :)
09:42 AM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.> https://tenor.com/view/clapping-yay-excited-soexcited-greatnews-gif-8845875809066863059
09:42 AM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.> not enough gifs in here
10:01 AM JT-Cave: Tom_L, got the probe controls enable/disable fixed while running a probe mdi
10:01 AM * JT-Cave waits on pr #100
10:02 AM Tom_L: coming up
10:02 AM Tom_L: i'm changing one parameter to a selectable var
10:03 AM Tom_L: gimme 5-10
10:20 AM Tom_L: JT-Cave, PR #100
10:20 AM Tom_L: check that one out
10:24 AM lcnc-relay: <Travis Farmer> i tried to sneak in a PR and snipe the #100, just because the about dialog still says MesaCT 😉 but Tom_L was faster than i could fork 😉
10:29 AM Tom_L: JT-Cave, there's a problem with the probe enable button
10:30 AM _unreal_: some good news. the probate lawyers for my dads estate discovered that I did infact NOT get there letter, the post office F'ED up my mail and mailing address. So now I have an extension to get my creditor claim in. some $45k. when I get that provided there are no issues I then have the money to put a down payment on a house. and GTF out of this house and out of my siblings sticky fingers. get this house and get me money (1/5th)
10:30 AM _unreal_: of this houses sales price..
10:30 AM _unreal_: and finally move on with my life.
10:30 AM Tom_L: JT-Cave, push it to enable probing, push a probe routine, the 'SET" button goes disabled
10:31 AM Tom_L: while it's probing
10:31 AM Tom_L: probe_trigger
10:31 AM Tom_L: it's a hal_pin
10:32 AM _unreal_: BTW I'm designing a wet box with jigging features so I can wet mill stone
10:33 AM _unreal_: I think you guys will like what I'm planning on
10:33 AM _unreal_: when I get to it and build it.
10:34 AM _unreal_: I also just ordered a peristaltic pump 24V stepper based device
10:34 AM _unreal_: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B99ZH9C1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
10:34 AM _unreal_: and an all in one with display single motor driver
10:34 AM _unreal_: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BGWW6RRN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
10:35 AM Tom_L: JT-Cave, also with probe enable enabled i can still run mdi commands
10:35 AM lcnc-relay: <Travis Farmer> that may be needed for manual probing
10:36 AM lcnc-relay: <Travis Farmer> though one could issue a M3 S1000 with the probe in place...
10:36 AM _unreal_: That will allow me to tie in to use one of the extra tubes I rain through the drag chain. for water and MIST.
10:36 AM JT-Cave: https://github.com/jethornton/flexgui
10:37 AM lcnc-relay: <Travis Farmer> looking good!
10:37 AM JT-Cave: Tom_L, change the set button to a normal hal button
10:37 AM JT-Cave: run mdi commands via?
10:37 AM Tom_L: not probe_ somthing?
10:37 AM Tom_L: the mdi command window
10:37 AM JT-Cave: ok
10:38 AM JT-Cave: hmm... gotta think about that one, as you need the set button for mdi sim
10:39 AM JT-Cave: Tom_L, let me ponder that before we go to 1.0.0
10:39 AM Tom_L: :)
10:39 AM Tom_L: i won't rename anything until i hear from you
10:40 AM lcnc-relay: <Travis Farmer> is there anyway to set a filter of commands before they run?
10:40 AM Tom_L: specifically the "SET" button
10:45 AM Tom_L: JT-Cave, to add to this, estop, power on, 'SET' button enabled.. run mdi command 'SET' goes disabled during the mdi command
10:46 AM Tom_L: probing disabled at the time
10:47 AM Tom_L: enable probing, mdi command goes disabled.. push a probe button, "SET" goes disabled
10:47 AM Tom_L: with just estop, power on, "SET" is enabled
10:48 AM Tom_L: best of luck :)
10:50 AM JT-Shop: change set button back to probe_some_name and I'll push a fix for that
10:55 AM Tom_L: i never changed it
10:55 AM Tom_L: probe_trigger right now
10:57 AM Tom_L: rather a challenge to test probe routines without that button
11:02 AM Tom_L: 'SET' even stays enabled when you push 'probe enable', just when you push an actual probe button it goes disabled
11:03 AM Tom_L: similar behavior as it does with the mdi command button
11:03 AM Tom_L: once the probe routine faults, 'SET' goes back active again
11:04 AM Tom_L: JT-Shop, just renaming the "SET" button fixes it
11:05 AM Tom_L: something other than probe_
11:06 AM Tom_L: i think that's a safe solution since it's never used until the other probe buttons are enabled
11:10 AM -!- #linuxcnc mode set to +v by ChanServ
11:10 AM -!- #linuxcnc mode set to +v by ChanServ
11:11 AM JT-Shop: ok
11:12 AM Tom_L: trigger_probe instead :)
11:18 AM Tom_L: PR #101
11:26 AM rdtsc: @mrec can the plate be removed, and/or a 3 or 4-jaw chuck mounted to it?
11:26 AM JT-Cave: Tom_L, just need a deb and I'm ready for v1.0.0
11:26 AM Tom_L: you sure?
11:26 AM JT-Cave: always never
11:27 AM JT-Cave: maybe
11:27 AM Tom_L: run an angle sub with XY travel set to .25 and let it run out
11:27 AM Tom_L: on the base edge
11:28 AM JT-Cave: and?
11:29 AM Tom_L: did it display a message?
11:29 AM Tom_L: press 'set' on the first side but let the base run out
11:31 AM JT-Cave: only some of the probe moves have a message if you run out of distance
11:32 AM JT-Cave: .3 and .5 do not have an error signal
11:32 AM Tom_L: i just put that on the angle ones for now
11:33 AM Tom_L: update your subs if you didn't get a message or run from the example folder
11:37 AM * JT-Cave hears a nap calling his name
11:37 AM Tom_L: deb on the way
11:37 AM JT-Cave: k
11:38 AM Tom_L: ready
11:39 AM rdtsc: Cap'n, note that Alibre Atom3D license says "2.5D CNC as exported .dxf" - gotta read the fine print carefully. https://www.alibre.com/atom3d/ Their "workshop" version has more features, but is more expensive: https://www.alibre.com/workshop/
11:41 AM lcnc-relay: <Travis Farmer> i thought that was supposed to be v1.0.0
11:42 AM lcnc-relay: <Travis Farmer> i see....
11:42 AM JT-Cave: https://github.com/jethornton/flexgui/releases/tag/1.0.0
11:43 AM JT-Cave: now it's really nap time
11:50 AM rdtsc: wonder if it's possible to build x64 .deb and aarch64 .deb from manjaro? sounds like a can of worms
11:55 AM lcnc-relay: <roguish> JT-Cave: wtf, an actual real 1.0 release....cool
12:02 PM _unreal_: figures I wanted to go to the beach, but my car is full of expensive tools for a job I never even got to do this weekend
12:02 PM _unreal_: :(
12:16 PM Tom_L: rdtsc, what is manjaro?
12:16 PM Tom_L: roguish did you notice the angle routines?
12:26 PM rdtsc: Tom, my main machine is mabox linux https://maboxlinux.org which is manjaro linux https://manjaro.org which is Arch https://archlinux.org
12:26 PM rdtsc: looks like might be best to make virtual machines for debian and aarch64 and build natively on those
12:33 PM Tom_L: i can give you my cross build line if you want
12:42 PM rdtsc: sure, back in a bit
12:43 PM Tom_L: for dpkg-buildpackage
12:46 PM -!- #linuxcnc mode set to +v by ChanServ
12:52 PM lcnc-relay: <Travis Farmer> added a couple used Mesa items to my store... see if they sell.
12:54 PM _unreal_: travis when ever I escape this HOME hell. one of my first projects is to get the lcnc system back up and running FINALLY
12:54 PM lcnc-relay: <Travis Farmer> i hope you do 🙂
12:55 PM _unreal_: travis https://photos.app.goo.gl/ggAPhV6uwbvr4jLs8
12:55 PM _unreal_: this one pictured will and always be a planetcnc machine
12:56 PM _unreal_: originally it was going to be lcnc but I ran into issues with the brushed servo controller and my father and his BS from his cancer created all kinds of issues. and everything got put on hold for the past 3 years
12:57 PM _unreal_: now that machine is finally "RUNNING"
12:57 PM lcnc-relay: <Travis Farmer> that grape platter came out good
12:57 PM _unreal_: and it has a GRBL controller for the now untill I get a replacement driver board
12:57 PM _unreal_: yarp
12:57 PM _unreal_: ! oh that reminds me I need to upload the oiled finished sanded version one sec
12:58 PM _unreal_: uploading should be visible within a min.
12:59 PM _unreal_: and loaded
12:59 PM _unreal_: refresh the page to see if not already
12:59 PM lcnc-relay: <Travis Farmer> looks really good 🙂
12:59 PM lcnc-relay: <Travis Farmer> far better than my photo v-carve i just did
01:00 PM _unreal_: that was done with a 1/16th ball nose
01:00 PM lcnc-relay: <Travis Farmer> nice
01:00 PM _unreal_: 1/8th rough and finish with 1/16. its first pass was deeper then expected hence the deep ring
01:01 PM _unreal_: I use fusion, spaceclaim, and ESTLcam
01:02 PM _unreal_: I use to use designspark but the makers of desighspark RS which also produce spaceclaim KILLED the totally free but slightly limted designspark.
01:02 PM lcnc-relay: <Travis Farmer> nice. i would be afraid of the machine hitting the hold-downs
01:02 PM _unreal_: ?
01:02 PM _unreal_: how. by measurment it cant
01:03 PM _unreal_: what do you use for CAM?
01:03 PM _unreal_: and cad
01:04 PM lcnc-relay: <Travis Farmer> with the software i use, the run up to the work offset is programed to come in low and fast. have not found a place to change it, so i use very low clamping, like screws
01:04 PM _unreal_: WHAT software packages do you use?
01:05 PM lcnc-relay: <Travis Farmer> Vetric Vcarve Pro 12
01:06 PM _unreal_: travis, you may want to try the free version of ESTLCAM
01:06 PM _unreal_: its a one time $ of $50
01:07 PM _unreal_: if you like it
01:07 PM _unreal_: I own fusion. but I mainly use spaceclaim for CAD
01:07 PM _unreal_: its 10000x easier
01:07 PM _unreal_: I use fusion for the CAM and estlcam for cam
01:08 PM _unreal_: just depends on what I'm doing.
01:08 PM lcnc-relay: <Travis Farmer> Vcarve Pro works well for my needs, and actualy, i think i JUST found the offending setting, where it is set to rapid 0.8in over the material...
01:09 PM _unreal_: nice.
01:09 PM _unreal_: I've been interested in VCARV but its a lot of money to do what the other software I have can do. its more or the "drawing" ease that is interesting to me
01:10 PM _unreal_: beyond that from videos I've watched. it takes a lot of extra steps to do anything compaired to what I use.
01:13 PM _unreal_: though fusion takes a lot of extra steps as well
01:14 PM _unreal_: ARG...... waiting on this action to finish processing still
01:14 PM _unreal_: just trying to shrink a WAVY pattern I designed. I'm building a cad drawing that is going to be a CUSTOM cigar ash tray
01:15 PM _unreal_: one of my next design ideas is to setup for milling marble and stone on the new machine
01:15 PM lcnc-relay: <Travis Farmer> sounds messy, water bath?
01:17 PM _unreal_: My plan is to build a fiberglass based basin with a long built in taper to the center and to X0Y0 where it will run out and return to the main feed OR I'll have a seperate collection jug. who knows
01:18 PM _unreal_: travis I just ordered this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B99ZH9C1?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
01:18 PM _unreal_: and this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BGWW6RRN?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
01:19 PM lcnc-relay: <Travis Farmer> is 180ml/min enough water?
01:19 PM mn is now known as Guest6932
01:20 PM _unreal_: the goal is to have it comming out of a fine tip
01:20 PM _unreal_: and be able to use it with air to mist
01:21 PM lcnc-relay: <Travis Farmer> i would think you would need a flood of water for stone/marble cutting. my tile wet saw uses a lot of water
01:25 PM _unreal_: I'll find out
01:25 PM _unreal_: regardless I know it is what I need for mist cutting
01:25 PM _unreal_: so its not a wasted purchase
01:26 PM lcnc-relay: <Travis Farmer> true
01:26 PM _unreal_: I'm hoping if I use a .5mm tube it should come out as a stream
01:26 PM _unreal_: if it is in a constant stream then if I'm using 1/4 or smaller bits I'm not to worried
01:27 PM _unreal_: and I'm talking diamond grid bits
01:27 PM _unreal_: flooding is not wrong but I'm trying to find a balance between a tool that can be dual used
01:28 PM _unreal_: purposed
01:28 PM _unreal_: I'm planning on getting copper or BRASS tiny tube from the hardware store when ever I get to that project
01:29 PM _unreal_: I also have 2 medical brushless tiny diaphragm air pumps I'm going to setup in parallel.
01:29 PM _unreal_: I'm using a single one of those pumps on my laser etcher and its more then enough
01:30 PM _unreal_: for smoke. so I figure if I use 2 with the same tip setup it should be enough to clear chips right at the bit.
01:30 PM lcnc-relay: <Travis Farmer> just have your feeds slow. i know my tile saw is NOT a fast tool
01:32 PM lcnc-relay: <Travis Farmer> sounds like a neat project though 🙂
02:03 PM rdtsc: Agreed on very slow feed for that water flow rate; I've used an 8" diamond disc on an 600RPM angle buffer to flatten a bumpy concrete floor and too little water/too aggressive will make the swarf into solid chunks without enough water (makes a holy mess)
02:58 PM Tom_L: JT-Cave, PR #103 ... the one you been waiting for
03:05 PM JT-Cave: YIPPEE
03:21 PM _unreal_: travis have a look at that link again. I just finished my cad drawing of the new cigar ash tray I'm going to mill on my cnc machine when I get to it.
03:22 PM _unreal_: That took me at least 30min to draw in cad
03:28 PM _unreal_: rdtsc, we are talking about 1/4" and smaller to V diamond bits
03:28 PM _unreal_: 1/8 1/16"
03:29 PM rdtsc: that might be ok then
03:30 PM _unreal_: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51oXVFck1kL._AC_UF894,1000_QL80_.jpg that is a 180ml container that much flow per min
03:30 PM rdtsc: so likely dumb question Tom/JT, after I fork the git, how do I re-sync the fork? See a "sync fork" on my github, but no way to do that remotely (like from gitkraken)
03:30 PM _unreal_: should be more then enough. and its going to be going through a tiny tube needle. so it will come out as a stream
03:31 PM _unreal_: rdtsc, are you saying you "dont fork.ing git it?
03:31 PM _unreal_: got to run
03:31 PM rdtsc: har har har :)
03:31 PM lcnc-relay: <Travis Farmer> looks cool, _unreal_, but tough to clean also 😉
03:31 PM JT-Shop: just do a pull
03:32 PM JT-Shop: I "think"
03:35 PM rdtsc: weird, not seeing any way to "sync fork" in gitkraken... maybe I should've taken your advice from the beginning lol
03:35 PM lcnc-relay: <Travis Farmer> i just installed my modbus K-type thermocouple module, they programed the dang thing to give BOTH temp C and temp F measurements on the same modbus address 😦 makes it hard to program in limits and alarms 😦
03:46 PM Tom_L: rdtsc, 'sync fork'
03:46 PM Tom_L: and if you want to send something to him, 'contribute'
03:47 PM Tom_L: from the git repo
03:47 PM Tom_L: from your local copy i use git gui
03:47 PM Tom_L: in the repo root directory
03:49 PM Tom_L: you should have your local branch point to your git fork then when you upload local changes it goes to your git fork. then you issue a pull request from your git repo
03:53 PM Tom_L: to bring changes from your git repo: git fetch origin; git reset --origin/master
03:53 PM Tom_L: from the root folder on your pc
03:53 PM Tom_L: root of flexgui that is
04:25 PM rdtsc: ok looks like trick was to add an upstream remote master; now I can keep it synched
04:32 PM lcnc-relay: <Travis Farmer> PR #104 up... it was bugging me, discard if you want... 😉
04:33 PM JT-Shop: thanks
04:34 PM rdtsc: I thought that big kevin's was hilarious :)
04:37 PM lcnc-relay: <Travis Farmer> big kevin's???
04:38 PM rdtsc: Oh just his logo submission. Good eye on the about dialog!
04:39 PM lcnc-relay: <Travis Farmer> 🙂
05:27 PM lcnc-relay: <big_kevin420> thank you thank you
05:28 PM lcnc-relay: <big_kevin420> Travis Farmer you operate a cnc store?
05:29 PM JT-Shop: <Travis Farmer> added a couple used Mesa items to my store... see if they sell.
05:30 PM lcnc-relay: <big_kevin420> yeah thats why i am wondering,
05:31 PM lcnc-relay: <big_kevin420> is it just a store and he sells used cnc sometimes? , or did he mean Jts store ? or does he distribute mesa
05:31 PM JT-Shop: I assume he has a couple of used items to sell
05:32 PM JT-Shop: travis put a link to your mesa boards on the forum as well as here
05:36 PM Tom_L: rdtsc, what arch were you trying to cross compile for?
05:37 PM Tom_L: i've never heard of this but ran across it: https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man1/dpkg-cross.1.html
05:39 PM Tom_L: probably not something i plan to use
06:49 PM rdtsc: it would just be nice to build the flex .debs, both for x64 and aarch64. But that is looking like quite a journey from Manjaro/Arch, i.e. not possible for mortals. Could get into VM's and QEMU... but don't have that kind of time anymore.
06:53 PM Tom_L: what is debtap?
06:54 PM rdtsc: think it's for installing .deb on manjaro/arch, which of course is not recommended :)
06:54 PM Tom_L: converts
06:54 PM -!- #linuxcnc mode set to +v by ChanServ
06:55 PM Tom_itx: To install . deb files in an Arch-based Linux distribution like Manjaro, you can use a tool called debtap. debtap allows you to convert . deb files to Arch-compatible packages that can be installed with the package manager.
06:56 PM Tom_L: sounds like self inflicted pain
06:56 PM rdtsc: yeah, generally not recommended :)
06:57 PM rdtsc: the Arch User Repository probably has whatever file you were looking for in it anyways... debtap is only a "last resort" tool
07:08 PM rdtsc: (no offense to any debtap devs) https://github.com/helixarch/debtap Amazingly, 3400+ lines of shell code
07:13 PM _unreal_: second opinion question. using this pump. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B99ZH9C1?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title think I should just tap a clean source of water? or do a drain/filter and recirculate? I'm leaning separate containers.
07:20 PM _unreal_: I'm just not excited of any kind of deposits inside of micro tubing
07:25 PM rdtsc is now known as rdtsc_away
08:15 PM roycroft: my coolant pump for my router table has a 2 bay coolant tank, with a wall between the bays that is about 2/3 the height
08:16 PM roycroft: the return coolant goes into one bay - the "settling" bay, and the intake is in the "clean" bay
08:16 PM roycroft: it's pretty much the same kind of setup that miners use for their sluice boxes, on a much much smaller scale
08:17 PM roycroft: it's not really necessary for my application, as it's just spindle coolant, but the pump was designed for milling machines, and should do an excellent job of capturing swarf in the settling bay
08:18 PM roycroft: as long as the swarf does not fill up 2/3 of the settling bay
09:09 PM xxcoder: nice
