01:25 AM lcnc-relay: <meisterdippel@> moin
01:41 AM Deejay: moin
03:20 AM lcnc-relay: <vibram@> hello
03:21 AM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.@> Been up for 9+ hours.
04:22 AM Tom_L: morning
05:50 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@> Morning
08:11 AM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> https://photos.app.goo.gl/gA2PhmYh1iTKnLb6A
10:03 AM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> ugh. I am having an argument with my sons 4th grade teacher..
10:03 AM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> https://photos.app.goo.gl/DPFtp7zX1s9MYiQJ7
10:03 AM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> 8a is wrong.
10:03 AM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> am I correct or crazy?
10:03 AM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> the rest are correct..
10:03 AM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> that is the answer key.
10:05 AM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> 8d is almost the exact question as 8a.. (hecto vs deka..) and it is correct.
10:10 AM roycroft: but but but the answer key in the back of the teacher's edition of the textbook says that the answer to 8a is "no"
10:11 AM W1N9Zr0: wrong direction, multiply by 100 instead of divide
10:11 AM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> right!? ok
10:53 AM lcnc-relay: <nutlinux@> If I wanted to port qtdragon to qt6 where would I start? I found the configs (hal and in files) but where is the actual underlying source?
10:53 AM lcnc-relay: <nutlinux@> * ini
10:54 AM lcnc-relay: <nutlinux@> And if I did update it, could it get merged or do you guys actually want it to be based on qt5?
12:27 PM Unterhausen: deka == 10
12:27 PM lcnc-relay: <rs> ntulinux2467@: https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/tree/master/lib/python/qtvcp and https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/tree/master/src/emc/usr_intf/qtvcp
12:28 PM Unterhausen: seems to me that you would have to switch all of lcnc to get qtdragon to work with qt6, but I'm possibly wrong
12:29 PM JT-Cave: dragon is a very complicated program and if you don't know where to start converting pyqt5 to pyat6 I suggest and easier target to practice on
12:30 PM lcnc-relay: <rs> 1 kilo = 100 deka, so multiply the kilos
01:01 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> the teacher finally said I was right.
01:01 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> that she didn't know what she was thinking. - the answer key must be right and rationalizing it.
01:02 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> but showing her that 2 of the questions were almost exactly the same but different answers helped
01:04 PM xxcoder: I love books, but thats simply too much faith in book being correct
01:56 PM roycroft: i think the problem was worded poorly
01:59 PM xxcoder: wouldnt know, question was not shown here
02:03 PM jpa-: skunkworks8841@: heh, does someone actually use hectometers and dekaliters? :D
02:09 PM lcnc-relay: <lechner (@lechner:matrix.org)> Hi, what are common file extensions for G-code besides .nc and .gcode, please? I have two applications that accept one but not the other. Thanks!
02:10 PM jpa-: .ngc
02:10 PM lcnc-relay: <lechner> Thanks! Is that also the most common?
02:11 PM jpa-: no idea, it varies very much between programs
02:11 PM jpa-: .nc and .gcode are also very common
02:11 PM lcnc-relay: <lechner> okay, thanks!
02:15 PM xxcoder: some use it to prevent importing wrong machine file
02:16 PM xxcoder: nc and gcode is very common though yeah
02:20 PM roycroft: hectometers is used sometimes
02:20 PM roycroft: i've never heard of anyone using dekaliters, although it is a valid si unit
02:21 PM roycroft: at least we got rid of myriameters and stères
02:21 PM roycroft: both of which were defined in the original metrification act of 1866
02:21 PM xxcoder: ah I missed the picture hmm
02:22 PM roycroft: yes, the use made metric units legal over 150 years ago
02:22 PM roycroft: the us, rather
02:29 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> I draw stuff in metric and usually machine in english.. lol
02:48 PM Tom_L: lechner, you can add other extensions to the ini file
02:52 PM Tom_L: that won't help much with other applications though..
02:53 PM Tom_L: skunkworks, i've found answer keys to be in error before
02:53 PM xxcoder: when I was a kid, I found one error like that yeah
02:53 PM xxcoder: it just happens.
02:54 PM Tom_L: taking the catia class i found one but the instructor said we're going by the answer key even if it's wrong
02:54 PM xxcoder: thats prety dumb
02:54 PM Tom_L: he did agree with me after showing him that i was right
02:55 PM Tom_L: it was already a bonus question so it really didn't matter for the class... i'd already maxed out on points
02:55 PM Tom_L: they can't _do_ so they teach
02:58 PM xxcoder: somes like that yeah but not all
02:58 PM xxcoder: I met some amazing profs in CS college
02:58 PM Tom_L: some were ok
02:59 PM xxcoder: including one space astromy one who had quite a lot of work history. he had moved across states and got half pay job because he wanted to enjoy job lol
03:00 PM Tom_L: updating these phones is so much easier than in the past... scan a qr code on the new phone with the old one and off it goes
03:04 PM lcnc-relay: <lechner> Hi, I wrote my first G-code program, which makes a tool move in a circle. Can I visualize it in a simulator online?
03:07 PM roycroft: lechner: i should imagine there are online g-code interpreters, but i don't know of them. linuxcnc can run in simulation mode, though, so if you're going to use linuxcnc you might install it somewhere now and use that for your simulations
03:11 PM lcnc-relay: <lechner> I'll have to package it for GNU Guix first, but planned to do that anyway
03:11 PM lcnc-relay: <lechner> Would someone be so kind to take a 30 second look at my five lines?
03:14 PM lcnc-relay: <lechner> The only question I have is whether the circle G02 command (with I) will move in a circle around the initial position. Everything else will be commented out at first, and the cutting depth is currently 5mm above the workpiece https://bpa.st/3HPA
03:15 PM JT-Machine-Shop: use https://paste.debian.net/
03:15 PM Tom_L: lechner https://ncviewer.com/
03:19 PM lcnc-relay: <lechner> http://paste.debian.net/1364240
03:20 PM lcnc-relay: <lechner> ncviewer doesn't show anything
03:22 PM lcnc-relay: <lechner> I'm hoping that G00 X-20 G02 I20 will draw a clockwise circle around where the tool is initially
03:23 PM lcnc-relay: <lechner> i'll play around with a pencil first and enable one line after the other, but the machine is in a library and I need permission to use it
