That precludes doing a full screen video update rate of more that about 6 or 7 frames a second. And if the pi gets busy, way less than a frame a second, which was the condition when I made the mistake in calculating K for a g76 operation. The result was that any movement (jog) button took over a second to get from the keyboard to start moving the machine, it moved at the commanded speed for a minimum of a second, and it was 3 cycles of screen updates at about 1.5 seconds each before the screen was fully updated. The onscreen backplot was showing a deeper than normal depth of cut which was my clue to recheck my math. The math error was caused by the document section describing G76 NOT saying that K is a factor from P, so it took k=.466 as inches, not k=[p/0.866].
And because the 3 cornered thread cutting chips are so gawdawfull expen$ive, and fragile I tend to fix the g76 anchor point off the end of the thread, and define #<_Ze> as [p * -number of threads] as I can add one thread at a time while cutting air until the end of the last thread just clears the ER-42 collet. That way I can also adjust my off the end of the work z starting point in p increments without screwing up a partially cut thread. The one thing I wish I could do is teach G76 to cut so as to compensate for the works flexing as I get threads a couple thou bigger on the end vs at the chuck. I need, for small work, another variable to make it cut the teeniest of tapers, a thou, maybe 2 small at the start. Extreme amounts of H do not fix that for small bolts of under 1/4"/6mm. I should make a tool holder die carrier, but then you're stuck with the die makers fit unless you buy split adjustable dies. And must use a g33.1, which has its own problems when the spindle is doing lots of overtravel, so much I wrote some hal code and some pyvcp.xml to display it. Its helped me to not break so many taps from hitting the bottom of the holes. If I use the data it shows me, I can rigid tap at 250 revs wearing a 40 lb chuck that makes the belts yelp during the end of stroke reversal. Belts need replaced, I have some powerstroke stuff but can't figure out how to assemble them in the room allowed by the adjustments. So the spindle or the lower pulleys have to be removed, the belt assembled, and the shaft re-inserted. A long tedious job since the lower dual sheeve that used to have a woodruff key now has a shop made (on TLM) taperlock hub. It was installed wrong side to by someone in the past, and their attempt to tighten the setscrews without the locking key tore up the sheeves bore and scored the shaft, so my best fix was to make a taperlock hub for it and pull the bronze bushings putting in the torrington needle cages called for in the parts list. It turned out that the majority of the 400F heat I was measureing with an IR thermometer was the friction of the setscrews slipping on the shaft. Moving the drive screws to Jack that apart and remove the upper shaft is a major pita, no room to swing the allen wrench w/o driving the shaft/pulley 20 degrees back and forth at the same time. I should have replaced the belts then but didn't have them. Now I do, but dread the job. And I'd need to grow at least one more arm since there's not room for 2 people under there. Did I mention it will be a PIMyBack? Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
