10:38 44UAAEDH6 hi
13:24 Jentrep Is there a channel dedicated to Control Systems? :o
13:31 Tom_itx like what?
13:31 Tom_itx #linuxcnc is about cnc control
13:32 Jentrep Oh cool Thanks! :)
13:32 Jentrep why strictly CNC control?
13:32 Tom_itx linuxcnc.org
13:32 Tom_itx cause that's what they do
13:33 Jentrep Tom_itx: any good books on the subject? :)
13:33 Tom_itx pretty cool stuff really
13:34 Tom_itx just their website that i'm aware of
13:34 Jentrep Let me ask in that channel :)
13:34 Tom_itx what are you after?
13:34 Tom_itx it's been pretty dead there today, may wait and ask monday
13:34 Jentrep Tom_itx: anything really! :P
13:34 Jentrep D:
13:35 Tom_itx do you want to build one?
13:37 Jentrep I want to learn HOW to at LEAST!
13:37 Jentrep :D
13:37 Tom_itx http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/cnc/psu/psu_index.php
13:37 Tom_itx there's the control i built
13:37 Jentrep http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode.html
13:38 Jentrep Where is that compiled too? :O
13:38 Tom_itx it isn't
13:38 Tom_itx it's output to the cnc machine
13:38 Tom_itx it's cnc machine code for cutting stuff
13:38 Jentrep I mean how can you modify the language? :P
13:38 Tom_itx to do what?
13:38 Jentrep What if I wanted a G ++ ??
13:38 Jentrep ;P
13:39 Tom_itx write one
13:39 Tom_itx you can download the source
13:39 Jentrep I need to know how the code is comiled :(
13:39 Jentrep Where is the source?!?!? :O
13:39 Jentrep *compiled
13:39 Tom_itx read the webpage and you will find it
13:41 Jentrep I only see a download for the ISO :(
13:41 Jentrep http://linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/download
13:42 Jentrep Can LinuxCNC be used for generic robotic arms?? :O
13:42 Jentrep Tom_itx: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
13:42 Tom_itx 9 axis yes
13:42 Jentrep Awesome! O_O
13:42 Tom_itx http://buildbot.linuxcnc.org/
13:43 Jentrep wait wait wait ... is LinuxCNC a whole DISTRO?!?!? :O
13:44 Jentrep I just want the LinuxCNC source NOT binaries! :(
13:44 Jentrep Where can I find that?
13:44 Jentrep :/
13:44 Tom_itx i just gave you the link
13:44 Tom_itx pay attention
13:45 Jentrep What is this btw? http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/cnc/psu/frame1.jpg
13:45 Tom_itx the test run of the power supply
13:45 Tom_itx it's in the box shown below now
13:45 robotustra_ witney heuston is online
13:45 Tom_itx 48v 18A
13:46 Tom_itx houston
13:46 Tom_itx Whitney
13:46 robotustra_ thanks
13:46 Tom_itx i don't like her
13:46 robotustra_ english names mean nothing
13:46 Tom_itx or her aunt
13:46 Jentrep Oh deb-src ""
13:46 Jentrep :P
13:46 robotustra_ Jentrep is from houston
13:46 Jentrep Tom_itx: this link right? http://buildbot.linuxcnc.org/
13:47 Jentrep robotustra_: am I? ;)
13:47 Tom_itx it's the one i gave you
13:49 Jentrep Tom_itx: do you have more infor about your process for this? http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/cnc/psu/psu_index.php
13:50 Tom_itx just what you see
13:50 Jentrep :(
13:51 Tom_itx http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/cnc/pendant/pendant2.jpg
13:51 Tom_itx the pendant i made to control it
13:51 Jentrep O_O
13:51 Jentrep Cool! :D
13:53 Jentrep Tom_itx: what software are you running to control the UPS
13:54 Tom_itx what ups?
13:54 Tom_itx i use linuxcnc for the mill
13:54 Jentrep what is the difference between the real-time and the simulation builds?
13:55 Jentrep Tom_itx: for that power system
13:55 Jentrep what is running on those microcontrollers :0
13:55 Jentrep *:)
13:55 Tom_itx sim is just that
13:55 Jentrep huh?
13:55 Tom_itx linuxcnc runs on a pc
13:56 Jentrep sutr
13:56 Jentrep *sure
13:56 Jentrep or in a VM
13:56 Tom_itx doubt it, it needs realtime
13:58 robotustra_ Jentrep: what's your project?
13:58 Jentrep Tom_itx: i still didnt see where to find the source :(
13:58 Jentrep robotustra_: secret anti-russian stuff :)
13:58 Tom_itx download it using GIT
13:59 Jentrep LEL https://github.com/jepler/linuxcnc-mirror
13:59 Jentrep Much easier
13:59 Jentrep ty github
13:59 Jentrep :P
14:00 Tom_itx there are branches, make sure you get master or 2.5.3
14:00 Jentrep they only have up to 2.5.1 :(
14:01 Tom_itx they are developing 2.6 so make sure you get the right source
14:01 Jentrep :(
14:02 Tom_itx why do you need the source?
14:03 Jentrep so i can modify it :)
14:03 Jentrep it should have the driver that compiles the G code
14:03 Jentrep i hope :/
14:04 atom1 git clone git://git.linuxcnc.org/git/linuxcnc.git linuxcnc-master will get you the latest 2.6 master
14:04 Jentrep I already am cloning it :)
14:04 Tom_itx better yet, download marlin from the reprap croud
14:04 Jentrep Thanks! ^_^
14:04 Jentrep the what??
14:05 Jentrep This is fucking awesome!
14:05 Tom_itx https://github.com/ErikZalm/Marlin
14:05 Jentrep i never knew that there was a FOSS robotics arm software outthere!
14:05 Jentrep Now I just need to learn the hardware specs ^^_^^
14:17 robotustra_ show me your github and I'll tell you who you are
14:20 Tom_itx i know who i am
14:21 robotustra_ but others don't
14:30 Elleo everyone clearly needs the robotustra_ stamp of approval
14:31 GargantuaSauce i don't know what i'd do without mine
14:32 GargantuaSauce life just wasn't the same before...
14:33 robotustra_ Elleo, as you wish
14:35 robotustra_ my level of approvenet is so high that "robotustra stamp" is not so bad
14:36 robotustra_ because I'm not nice with many things
14:36 robotustra_ linux is not bad as OS just because Linus Torvalds is not "nice" guy
14:37 robotustra_ he doesn't approve evident shit
15:08 MrCurious i have to think my stamp holds some residual value too
15:09 MrCurious do you want nice friends/colaborators/critics, or honest?
15:09 MrCurious i prefer to be told when my shit stinks...
15:09 MrCurious god forbid i not know and take it on a road show..
15:10 Elleo the two don't have to be mutually exclusive
15:10 MrCurious another way of thinking about it is "opinions are like assholes. everybody has one"
15:12 MrCurious or... if you are afraid of critics... dont volunteer for show and tell
15:14 MrCurious people here may talk harshly, but if you were over at their house, they would be the first to hop up to get you a beer...
15:18 MrCurious its just a matter of perspective http://i.imgur.com/lq2wR9u.gif
15:33 MrCurious humph, seems i derailed another conversation
15:34 robotustra_ :)
20:12 MrCurious whoa. tonight we will have near record lows... 44F.
20:20 Tom_itx how do you determine the path of a symlink?
20:20 MrCurious ls -l
20:20 MrCurious will tell you where it points to
20:20 MrCurious repeat until it doesnt point
20:21 MrCurious Tom_itx: unix_respect--
21:28 pythonsnake hey
