12:07 AM rue_house: realize that I'd put lots of these parts togethor much earlier, some of them are spares I made during arm9
12:10 AM rue_house: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/robots/arm10/slide.htm
12:10 AM Jak_o_Shadows: That bottom servo, is it continous? Or do you still have it from 0->blah?
12:12 AM rue_house: 0->blah
12:12 AM anniepoo: I've cut page one of body, headed to printer to do page 2
12:13 AM rue_house: anniepoo, how thick?
12:13 AM rue_house: damnit its apr 1st and I havn't done anything yet
12:13 AM rue_house: whats on hackaday
12:13 AM rue_house: google is just google
12:14 AM rue_house: ON APR 1ST!
12:15 AM anniepoo: sorry, meant 'laser', not 'printer
12:15 AM anniepoo: 1/8" corrugated cardboard
12:18 AM Jak_o_Shadows: Whaddaya talking about, april first was yesterday
12:18 AM Jak_o_Shadows: best one was the audi one
12:20 AM Jak_o_Shadows: http://audimagazine.com.au/post/thinking-inside-square
12:20 AM rue_house: http://hackaday.com/2017/04/01/cerebrum-mobile-passwords-lifted-acoustically-with-nasb/
12:23 AM rue_house: :)
12:24 AM anniepoo: hey rue, it's an hour
12:27 AM anniepoo: I've exported all parts to dxf, ready for laserworks
12:27 AM anniepoo: I've cut the first half of body, the second half is, I think, done
12:27 AM anniepoo: the first of 3 cuts for shell is loaded into laserworks
12:27 AM anniepoo: How'd you do?
12:27 AM anniepoo: you there?
12:27 AM anniepoo: ok, I'm starting another hour -
12:28 AM anniepoo: I'll be finishing up the cutting and will assemble the cardboard for snail shell and body
12:28 AM rue_house: nono,
12:30 AM rue_house: it cant be an hour
12:30 AM rue_house: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/robots/arm10/slide.htm
12:30 AM anniepoo: and if that goes well, I'll work on eye stalks
12:30 AM anniepoo: ok, cool
12:30 AM rue_house: thats off my todo list
12:30 AM anniepoo: yay
12:30 AM anniepoo: so, are you done with hours?
12:30 AM anniepoo: or want to do a shorty?
12:30 AM rue_house: ah I got picking thru apr1st things
12:30 AM anniepoo: ....
12:30 AM anniepoo: 8c/ yah, you can get distracted
12:30 AM anniepoo: anyway, I need to keep working
12:30 AM anniepoo: so lets do this or not
12:31 AM rue_house: ok
12:31 AM rue_house: uh
12:31 AM Jak_o_Shadows: Ok. PC code updtaed, think it's uC that's not working now
12:31 AM anniepoo: hanging on irc trying to set up hours is kinda counter the point
12:31 AM anniepoo: ok, yer debugging uC?
12:31 AM anniepoo: and you want to do shorter?
12:31 AM rue_house: attach the gripper
12:31 AM anniepoo: how much?
12:31 AM Jak_o_Shadows: changing from serial->USB, ie.from byte based to packet based
12:31 AM rue_house: hu? no
12:31 AM rue_house: I just cant beleive an hourpassed in like 20 mins
12:32 AM anniepoo: ok, that's an hour, debug anything on uC and attach gripper
12:32 AM anniepoo: yah, it's real revealing
12:32 AM rue_house: I suppose I cooked upper, ate it, dealt with a visitor and posted that stuff on the webpage
12:32 AM anniepoo: see you at 2 hour
12:32 AM rue_house: in 1 hours?
12:32 AM anniepoo: yes, in 1 hour
12:32 AM rue_house: gripper, right
12:33 AM anonnumberanon: whats the vs between byte based and packet based?
12:34 AM Jak_o_Shadows: Well, I had a whole lot of assuptions that I was only gonna be transferring 1 byte at a time
12:34 AM Jak_o_Shadows: Also, USB doesn't quite give me interrupts as nicely
12:35 AM Jak_o_Shadows: The current issue is that I can't send out at will
12:35 AM anonnumberanon: cool. what usb are u using?
12:36 AM Jak_o_Shadows: stm32f4
12:37 AM zhanx: 1 hour ish complete
12:37 AM zhanx: 24 solar panels soldered and wired for 5
12:37 AM zhanx: 5vdc
12:38 AM anonnumberanon: its fast but ping is not real time lemmegurss?
12:38 AM Jak_o_Shadows: ? Huh? me?
12:39 AM zhanx: hopefully this solar array will work
12:42 AM zhanx: i earned a beer
12:44 AM rue_shop3: this is harder than I thought, I'm not sure where the master of my standard bolt pattern is
12:44 AM zhanx: metric or standard?
12:44 AM rue_shop3: dunno
12:44 AM rue_shop3: I have it on a peice of paper, but... its hand drawn and... imprinted...
12:44 AM zhanx: thats even worse
12:45 AM rue_shop3: looking for dxf...
12:45 AM * zhanx was taught to back up by rye
12:45 AM zhanx: rue*
12:45 AM zhanx: remember rue_shop3 when i lost the source code to elf
12:46 AM rue_shop3: hmmm
12:47 AM zhanx: i stepped on the laptop
12:47 AM rue_shop3: I think its a hex with a 10mm interbolt spacing
12:47 AM rue_shop3: 8/9/2014
12:48 AM rue_shop3: aha
12:48 AM rue_shop3: 8/16/2014
12:48 AM rue_shop3: "gripperbolts.dxf"
12:49 AM rue_shop3: yup 10mm between adjacent bolts
12:49 AM zhanx: rue remembers the dreaded laptop incident with my foot
12:49 AM rue_shop3: you and your boots...
12:49 AM zhanx: issue is which time was that
12:49 AM rue_shop3: anniepoo, after this I want ot work on the thermal profiler code for the toasteroven
12:50 AM rue_shop3: hmm
12:50 AM zhanx: rue. off hand. toaster wire to heat the hot end?
12:50 AM rue_shop3: ok, thats the pattern...
12:51 AM rue_shop3: toaster oven controller I want to finish coding so I can convert a ricemaker to use it for different suppers
12:51 AM zhanx: ok
12:51 AM rue_shop3: I think I have to hand transfer this...
12:53 AM rue_shop3: oh, these are supposed to be 27mm, not 30
12:53 AM rue_shop3: or, i added the 1.5 to make the edge of the pulley
12:54 AM zhanx: ok x and y axis are about done. I got 6" of movement each way for a truthfully 10x10" space i think
12:54 AM rue_shop3: images would be nice ya know
12:55 AM zhanx: camera i know, kids stole my tablet
12:55 AM zhanx: i think i need more hot glue
12:55 AM anniepoo: 2/3 of shell cut, head assembled
12:56 AM zhanx: extruder head is the hard part for me
12:56 AM rue_shop3: I have two 1:1 bolt hole templates printed
12:56 AM rue_shop3: attempting to transfer now
12:56 AM zhanx: oh i got a sheet of 1/2" mdf today also for it
12:59 AM rue_shop3: ok, the base plate is marked
01:00 AM rue_shop3: oh nice me, I marked the gripper center before removing the template
01:00 AM anonnumberanon: yeah jackoshad
01:00 AM rue_shop3: ok, gripper is marked
01:01 AM anonnumberanon: jack_O_Chad lmafao
01:01 AM rue_shop3: ok, thru holes on the gripper, and tap holes on the base plate
01:02 AM zhanx: rue_shop3: i am serious on this wax printer fyi
01:02 AM zhanx: i hope by this weekend i can do steps on x and y
01:04 AM rue_shop3: what type of 3d printer you making? i2? i3?
01:04 AM rue_shop3: ok, baseplate drilled, drilling gripper
01:05 AM zhanx: i2
01:06 AM zhanx: gonna cut the "frame" tomorrow
01:07 AM zhanx: 5" tall max height for me on this one
01:08 AM rue_shop3: pattern rotated a bit on me....
01:08 AM rue_shop3: from 3' rod of 10' lengths?
01:08 AM zhanx: rue do you think 12v at 5a is enough to power it?
01:08 AM rue_shop3: cause if your using 3' peices I have a suggestion
01:08 AM rue_shop3: 12V 8A is reasonable
01:09 AM rue_shop3: 5 is a bit shy for heating
01:09 AM zhanx: ok so 5a for xyz and another for heating
01:09 AM rue_shop3: yea
01:09 AM zhanx: let me built it and then you can tear it down
01:10 AM rue_shop3: no
01:10 AM rue_shop3: you see
01:10 AM anniepoo: still assemblng body, but the shell's all cut
01:10 AM rue_shop3: if you dont cut them to the standard lenths
01:10 AM ferdna: any cheaper alternatives? or a diy solution for something like this:
01:10 AM ferdna: https://cirqoid.com/collections/machine/products/pick-and-place-add-on
01:10 AM rue_shop3: you dont waste anything and get a machine thats just a bit larger
01:11 AM zhanx: rue you know i have been planning this how long?
01:11 AM rue_shop3: some of my holes didn't line up as well as would be nice
01:11 AM rue_shop3: if you take the i2 and cut the 3' rod in half to make the long peices
01:11 AM zhanx: 6' not 3
01:12 AM rue_shop3: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/projects/reprap2/p1080530.jpg
01:12 AM rue_shop3: ok, then its easy enough to go with the standard lenths
01:12 AM zhanx: not rods either
01:12 AM rue_shop3: if your using 3' supply, you get a whole bunch of short offcut
01:13 AM zhanx: i did say mdf with rods
01:13 AM rue_shop3: :)
01:14 AM zhanx: rue what i will and want to work with you on is pid for wax and heat etc
01:14 AM zhanx: let me make this 10 dollar wax printer
01:15 AM zhanx: tomorrow i am borrowing a table saw etc
01:16 AM rue_shop3: marlin does it
01:17 AM zhanx: rue_shop3: should remember last time i was like this i made e.l.f
01:18 AM zhanx: oh and i have a glass plate for the surface
01:19 AM rue_shop3: mirror is best, they have to make sure its flat or you get distortions
01:19 AM rue_shop3: lots of glass is surprisingly unflat
01:20 AM rue_shop3: try it against a stainless ruler and check
01:20 AM zhanx: scanner glass
01:21 AM rue_shop3: lexan, I cant remember if the threads give out or the head of the screw breaks off first
01:21 AM anniepoo: back
01:21 AM anniepoo: how'd you do, rue?
01:21 AM rue_shop3: gripper is on base plate, just remounting to robot
01:22 AM anniepoo: nice!
01:22 AM anniepoo: Is've got head all assembled, the body's kind of a nightmare but I'm winning
01:22 AM anniepoo: the right side's assembled
01:22 AM anniepoo: if I do this again I'll do it im more parts
01:23 AM anniepoo: I've learned a TON already, so this has been FAR from a useless exercise
01:23 AM anniepoo: But it's probably another hour of assembly all together.
01:23 AM anniepoo: Want to do another one?
01:24 AM anniepoo: you there?
01:24 AM anniepoo: 8cD
01:24 AM rue_shop3: yea
01:24 AM anniepoo: up for one more?
01:24 AM rue_shop3: just finished putting away the washers
01:25 AM rue_shop3: need to take images of the progress
01:25 AM anniepoo: 8cD putting things away is good
01:25 AM anniepoo: ok, so are we doing another hour?
01:25 AM rue_shop3: hours really fly by at this time of night
01:25 AM anniepoo: yes
01:25 AM rue_shop3: sure
01:25 AM anniepoo: they fly by all the time
01:25 AM anniepoo: ok, in next hour I'll complete assy
01:25 AM anniepoo: you?
01:25 AM anniepoo: ....
01:25 AM rue_shop3: hmm, need design work on a few things, but it'll take more than an hour
01:25 AM rue_shop3: hmm
01:26 AM anniepoo: break it down
01:26 AM anniepoo: 'i'll figure out what the design issues are'
01:26 AM anniepoo: my first hour of a workday day is often 'figure out rest of day'
01:27 AM anniepoo: ok, not hanging around for it, will check back in a bit
01:27 AM Jak_o_Shadows: Mine is: Go tell someone off for "tidying" the shed by putting the esky away. Where they cleeared space for the esky by putting that stuff on the workbench
01:27 AM rue_shop3: oh taoster oven
01:27 AM anniepoo: that'll take an hour?
01:27 AM anniepoo: 8cD
01:27 AM rue_shop3: anniepoo, do you have an indistrial toaster oven?
01:27 AM anniepoo: yes
01:27 AM anniepoo: couple round here, actually
01:27 AM rue_shop3: how do you program the segments of the profile?
01:27 AM rue_shop3: time and target temp?
01:28 AM anniepoo: yes, we have some gizmo Kevin bought, hang on
01:28 AM rue_shop3: I'd like an 'apply this many watts, till the temp gets to here' mode
01:28 AM rue_shop3: brb tea
01:28 AM rue_shop3: and P
01:28 AM anniepoo: auber multi-step thermostat
01:28 AM anniepoo: we converted a domestic toaster oven
01:29 AM * rue_shop3 takes the goggles off,
01:29 AM anniepoo: we also have an Eastwood powder coating oven, it's just got a knob
01:29 AM rue_shop3: have a model I can find a datasheet for?
01:29 AM anniepoo: yes, hang on
01:32 AM anniepoo: can't tell which of several it is.
01:32 AM anniepoo: I'll ask my biz partner, he bought it
01:32 AM anniepoo: can I give you answer tomorrow?
01:34 AM rue_shop3: give me a guess on the model
01:34 AM anniepoo: hang on
01:34 AM rue_shop3: this hour I'll see if I can wowrk out the programming method for the new firmware
01:35 AM anniepoo: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-16-DIN-UNIVERSAL-PID-TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLER-/200404683527?hash=item2ea90ccb07:m:m94KKiaiy-C-_xRIwkN7c0Q
01:35 AM anniepoo: auber makes one that's programmable up to 9 steps
01:36 AM anniepoo: we bought a couple cheaper ones and have concluded the 9 step job's the best for an oven
01:36 AM rue_shop3: k
01:36 AM anniepoo: looks physically like the ebay link
01:36 AM anniepoo: but I'm not finding the 9 step job
01:37 AM anniepoo: I'll have a part # for you tomorrow
01:37 AM rue_shop3: youve given me lots
01:37 AM anniepoo: might have it in a few mins
01:37 AM anniepoo: if he's up
01:38 AM anniepoo: anyway, I'm afk to go assemble snail
01:39 AM rue_shop3: https://www.fujielectric.com/products/instruments/products/controller/PXG.html
01:40 AM rue_shop3: sometimes I like that telling me how to use something is just like telling me how to make it
01:46 AM rue_shop3: ah yes, this helps
01:47 AM rue_shop3: so each of their steps has a ramp rate, ramp target, and soak time
01:50 AM rue_shop3: zhanx, http://www.coulton.com/res/ecno1125p.pdf
01:50 AM rue_shop3: ideas for wax heater
01:51 AM zhanx: ok
01:59 AM rue_shop3:
01:59 AM rue_shop3: huh
02:00 AM rue_shop3: target SV
02:00 AM rue_shop3: ramp segment time
02:01 AM rue_shop3: soak segment time
02:01 AM rue_shop3: --
02:01 AM rue_shop3: so each program step, has a target temp, a ramp time, and a soak time
02:01 AM rue_shop3: which is what gives them the ability to control ramp rate
02:03 AM rue_shop3: so, 3 points each
02:03 AM rue_shop3: man, this thing is more alarms than temp control
02:06 AM rue_shop3: thats right, this was an atmega88
02:16 AM rue_shop3: looks like temps are stored in existing code as unsigned ints
02:17 AM rue_shop3: meaning I shouldn't use it in winter when the oven might be sub-zero
02:18 AM rue_shop3: I suppose it has to be 16 bits, cause my max temp is over 255 degrees
02:24 AM anniepoo: hey
02:25 AM anniepoo: rue, offset it
02:25 AM anniepoo: like, if you want -40 as lowest temp
02:25 AM anniepoo: store temp _ 40
02:25 AM anniepoo: and I just finished assembling the freaking shell
02:25 AM anniepoo: which was hell beyond hell
02:26 AM anniepoo: nightmare bedyond nightmare
02:26 AM rue_shop3: I was thinking that, but 60c might be the lowest, and that dosn't give room to get to 360
02:26 AM anniepoo: no, if you use 16 bits you have lots of headroom
02:26 AM rue_shop3: anniepoo, this idea of yours would work better if a) each person has to post images of the hours progress
02:27 AM anniepoo: lol
02:27 AM rue_shop3: b) there is .. uh, forgot
02:27 AM anniepoo: yes, though it's not supposed to be 'task master'
02:27 AM anniepoo: it's supposed to be 'cheering section'
02:27 AM anniepoo: but I'm going to run and take pix in a few minutes
02:27 AM rue_shop3: something like a 5 min chill break
02:27 AM rue_shop3: no, just at end of each hour
02:28 AM rue_shop3: :) but hte gripper is mounted to the robot
02:28 AM anniepoo: right -
02:28 AM anniepoo: it's a cool idea
02:28 AM rue_shop3: lots of progress this weekend even if I dont make anymore on it
02:28 AM anniepoo: I'm going to take pix in a minute, I want to bandage bloody thumb and then put the mechanism insid3e and pcs togetrhr
02:29 AM rue_shop3: I just need to replace the gravity-fastner holding the forearm, string it, and wire it
02:29 AM anniepoo: so I'm gonna be afk for a few mins, and do that
02:29 AM rue_shop3: yea
02:29 AM rue_shop3: I'll post the new iamge of the gripper on
02:32 AM anniepoo: kevin might have gone to bed, he responded with offer to get on phone with you and coach you thru programming it
02:32 AM rue_house: I need to write the C code for one :)
02:32 AM rue_house: for an atmega88
02:33 AM rue_house: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/robots/arm10/p1080845.jpg
02:33 AM rue_house: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/robots/arm10/p1080847.jpg
02:33 AM rue_house: (no fair, I know, I have scripts to take images and update the website)
02:35 AM rue_house: :( its only midnight and I'm running out of steam
02:36 AM anniepoo: https://www.instagram.com/anneogborn/
02:36 AM anniepoo: me too
02:36 AM anniepoo: assembling the snail cardboard was a PITA
02:36 AM anniepoo: learned a lot about that process
02:36 AM rue_house: wow, looks good
02:36 AM anniepoo: and I have a LOT better feel of what the snail's gonna be like
02:37 AM rue_house: should the peices on the back be flush?
02:37 AM rue_house: what software designs that?
02:37 AM rue_house: (the stl to cutout)
02:37 AM anniepoo: the should be - assembling the slots, the cardboard distored a lot
02:38 AM anniepoo: one thing I learned 8cD
02:38 AM rue_house: :/
02:38 AM anniepoo: so, the software -
02:38 AM rue_house: is that a test ball in the background?
02:38 AM anniepoo: raw snail in blender
02:38 AM anniepoo: no, that's the head
02:38 AM rue_house: ah
02:38 AM anniepoo: look at pic from front
02:39 AM anniepoo: https://www.instagram.com/p/BSX7r0LD14a/?taken-by=anneogborn
02:39 AM anniepoo: he has eyes on stalks,
02:39 AM rue_house: ah
02:39 AM anniepoo: not included in this
02:39 AM anniepoo: one goal of making this was to be able to try diff eyes for look
02:40 AM rue_house: is it possable the thickness of the coardbaord might have been off to make it too tight a fit?
02:41 AM anniepoo: could be, but if it's not tight, it's actually harder to put together
02:41 AM rue_house: huh
02:41 AM anniepoo: cause it falls apart
02:41 AM rue_house: hot glooo?
02:42 AM rue_house: how many whats is the laser?
02:42 AM anniepoo: invariably if you hot glue soething you end up taking it apart
02:42 AM anniepoo: but sometimse it's a good strategy
02:42 AM rue_house: :)
02:42 AM anniepoo: 90
02:42 AM rue_house: hmm
02:42 AM rue_house: little blue ebay laser not gonna be worth anything then
02:42 AM anniepoo: we have a 120W RF excited besides, but it's actually not as powerful as the 90W spark excited
02:43 AM anniepoo: no, save yer money
02:43 AM rue_house: make my own co2 laser tube!
02:43 AM rue_house: I learned glass blowing just to make a laser tube
02:43 AM anniepoo: well, best thing would be to buy a tube, the lens assy's, chiller, controller, etc.
02:44 AM rue_house: but I only bit 50% suggess on making T's, so I didn't get a TT finished
02:44 AM anniepoo: yah, that sounds like a hard project
02:44 AM anniepoo: I think $400 is well spent
02:44 AM rue_house: cooling the glass properly is hard
02:44 AM rue_house: 8-|
02:44 AM anniepoo: esp. since they're semi-consumables
02:44 AM anniepoo: We're on #2
02:45 AM rue_house: :S
02:45 AM rue_house: no regenerative co2?
02:45 AM anniepoo: you can buy a more expensive one with a better seal
02:45 AM rue_house: custom hardware to sputter mirrors is a thing now too
02:45 AM anniepoo: but frankly, the cheap ones are economically more sensible
02:45 AM anniepoo: yes, but that's really just trying to hurt yourself
02:46 AM rue_house: its ok, I have a book
02:46 AM rue_house: tells you everything
02:46 AM rue_house: light and its uses
02:46 AM anniepoo: you need ZnS mirrors
02:46 AM rue_house: ZnS?
02:46 AM anniepoo: yah
02:46 AM rue_house: uh, thats not reflective, its white
02:46 AM rue_house: it glows when hit by electrons, green
02:47 AM anniepoo: no, it's white, like most white things, because it's polycrystalline
02:47 AM rue_house: its the green in radioactive clock faces
02:47 AM anniepoo: if you make if glass, it's glass
02:47 AM anniepoo: hmm...
02:47 AM rue_house: I'v made ZnS before
02:47 AM anniepoo: anyway, it's some weird salt
02:47 AM anniepoo: you're right, it's after midnite
02:47 AM rue_house: it reacts... with gusto!
02:47 AM anniepoo: and I've made a freaking snail
02:48 AM rue_house: and all the glowie stuff floats off in a cloud
02:48 AM rue_house: you did!, it looks good
02:48 AM anniepoo: yah - I was physics major, and the guy who ran the TA program had an old 'DIY rocketry' book
