20:28 rue_house I forgot to make that source part of the tgz package with everything else :/
20:29 Tom_itx how did you get it to avr ihex?
20:29 rue_house the BF code?
20:29 rue_house I didn'
20:29 rue_house t
20:29 rue_house I uploaded it raw to the avr eeprom
20:52 rue_house SWEEEt the gooseneck coolant flexpipe arrived for the lathe!
20:54 rue_house paid $3.33 for it
20:56 Tom_itx those snap together plastic things?
20:56 Tom_itx i got some of those
20:57 Tom_itx been polishing my lathe template
20:57 rue_house yes
20:58 rue_house I have a lot of pond pumps around
20:58 Tom_itx don't remember why i got them now
21:49 RifRaf what is a lathe template?
21:50 theBear good question
21:50 Tom_itx for my cad cam
21:50 Tom_itx tells it how to format the output code
21:50 theBear you mean camera or CAM ?
21:50 Tom_itx CAM
21:50 theBear oh, i get it
21:50 theBear cool
21:50 Tom_itx i did one for mill already
21:50 Tom_itx for linuxcnc
21:50 theBear standard metal lathe ? you just do '2d' control ?
21:51 Tom_itx 2d on lathe yes
21:51 Tom_itx i don't have a cnc lathe though
21:51 theBear i wonder, lathe bits (say yer standard triangle) tend to wear radically during their life... how does cnc cope with that ?
21:51 Tom_itx inserts
21:51 theBear so you just progressively shim them when they hit tolerance ?
21:52 Tom_itx nope, just flip em over
21:52 Tom_itx and around
21:52 Tom_itx until all points are used up then change em
21:52 theBear oh, i suppose back in the day we used to wear them down more than we should have :)
