04:48 AM JT-Cave: morning
05:06 AM Tom_L: another beautiful day in do dah.. 46°F / 76°F
05:15 AM JT-Cave: 47°F Humidity 69% High: 70°F
05:31 AM mrec: does anyone work with a wireless touch finder?
05:31 AM mrec: touch/edge
07:06 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> Morning
07:27 AM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.@discord> mrec: for machining?
07:29 AM mrec: yes, I only used wired ones so far
07:30 AM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.@discord> I don't care much for wireless machine control and features, just not reliable enough
07:31 AM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.@discord> the batteries are always flaky when I need them to not be
07:43 AM -!- #linuxcnc mode set to +v by ChanServ
07:56 AM mrec: which tool did you try?
08:01 AM lcnc-relay: <zincboy_ca_on@discord> I use a wireless touch probe. Renishaw RMP60. It has a low battery and error signal that can be read by the control to stop if there is an issue.
08:12 AM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.@discord> mrec: I don't even try them, I just use wired devices
08:13 AM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.@discord> i don't use wireless mice or keyboards on any machine that can damage me
08:14 AM mrec: zincboy: how much did you pay for that Renishaw device?
08:16 AM bjorkintosh: I love the convenience of wireless but for most things...
08:16 AM bjorkintosh: fuck bluetooth.
08:18 AM mrec: https://s3.amazonaws.com/i.snag.gy/aO7rzq.jpg it's fully restored now; now I'm planing to step up with it (possibly getting away from the chinese stuff I use on my LinuxCNC machine)
08:18 AM mrec: if it treats us well I'll repaint the enclosure too
08:32 AM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.@discord> I did use a wireless temperature monitor for the inside of polymer bags for DNA PCR amplification, but I designed it myself. No Bluetooth, and the machine would not easily hurt or kill me. Was similar to a deep fry basket machine with a gantry robot.
08:35 AM rdtsc_away is now known as rdtsc
08:37 AM rdtsc: morning, mrec: if the probe is wireless and the doors are closed, that wireless signal likely has to come out the door glass as the rest of the machine is likely solid metal. May not be an issue, or may cause probe to "disappear" if the doors are closed.
08:37 AM rdtsc: Just something to consider, I do not own one
08:56 AM rdtsc: Hey JT, check this out: https://github.com/Qt-Widgets/qsseditor-stylesheet-editor Wonder if that would be a nice tool to use when making .qss
09:01 AM JT-Cave: might be worth checking out
09:01 AM Tom_L: deb is up
09:36 AM JT-Cave: thanks
09:42 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> backup-log
09:42 AM backup-log: lcnc-relay: Today's Log https://www.tjfhome.net/irclog/%23linuxcnc/2024-10-27.html
09:43 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> it is good to know my backup log install is good and stable 🙂
10:55 AM rdtsc: https://github.com/Qt-Widgets/qsseditor-stylesheet-editor does not want to compile on aarch64 Rpi... seems it was built around Qscintilla Qt4Qt5... mitigations so far have been fruitless
11:03 AM rdtsc: after setting env var QSCINTILLA_INTERNAL=1, it tries to use the bundled version, but croaks on QRegExp missing - totally ignores cmake option -I/usr/include/aarch64-linux-gnu/qt6 to use modern version
11:11 AM rdtsc: oh, looks like QRegExp was recently replaced with QRegularExpression...
11:48 AM JT-Shop: start/stop and potentiometer work so it must be nap time
12:44 PM lcnc-relay: <big_kevin420@discord> yeah use the wireless mp40 probe
12:45 PM lcnc-relay: <big_kevin420@discord> it has a bunch of safety features in it though
12:45 PM lcnc-relay: <big_kevin420@discord> i think it communicates with some RF, but it requires a line of sight thing also
12:54 PM Tom_L: JT-Shop, you didn't push them?
01:01 PM JT-Shop: push what?
01:03 PM Tom_L: <JT-Shop> start/stop and potentiometer
01:04 PM JT-Shop: GS20 drive I'm working on
01:05 PM Tom_L: oh
01:10 PM Tom_L: i was trying to figure out where you would use a pot in lcnc :)
01:10 PM xxcoder: smoke it
01:13 PM lcnc-relay: <big_kevin420@discord> cant wait till lcnc is on v4.20
01:13 PM lcnc-relay: <big_kevin420@discord> i mean, it always is over here
01:14 PM Tom_L: what would you expect to happen between 2.9.3 & 4.20?
01:16 PM lcnc-relay: <big_kevin420@discord> i dont need anything to happen
