[Emc-users] MSL Landing: Success!
Just wanted to congratulate my American fellows for a safe landing on Mars. Yes, Mars Science Laboratory aka Curiosity are there with all it's six wheels firmly and neatly placed in the Martian sand!

Would it measure the burn cycle pressure and adjust the injected fuel volume for appropriate pressure peak? Yes, apart from the problem with fuel lubricity the main issue is that the injection is open-loop. The injectors are opened for a known time at a known fuel pressure, and that is assumed to inject the correct quantity of fuel. With in-cylinder pressure transducers you can directly measure the heat released (and the combustion temperature) so actually know how much fuel has gone in and burned. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

Brian, I offer another opinion here. This thread would have died a long time ago without your input. The driving force for many of the responses is not the need to prove 'Mines bigger than yours'. Everyone needs a little 'Comic relief' and jumped on this with a smile to see where it would go. I don't have a Mach system so I cannot offer a valid comment on the comparison. My reason for not even trying Mach is it runs on Windows only. In 1997/1998 I put three 5 axis MDSI controls on three 5 axis Cinci mills. I purchased MDSI's API with the purpose of developing the functionality I wished to see. I updated with them one time. The second update cycle was when they announced the next version would be based on Windows only. I called them and let them know I would not be putting Windows on any of my machines. They not only would/could/did not reconsider, they claimed they would no longer suppport the QNX versions.

Re: [Emc-users] OT - Ford diesels
I currently have a Ford Ranger pickup truck that has a bifuel CNG (Compressed Natural Gas)/unleaded gas conversion and I am going to try and convert that to Propane. I don't have a good source for CNG and right now Propane is going for just over $1.00 per gallon when purchased in 500 gallons or more (I have a bulk tank). It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that $1.00 per gallon fuel will pay for a conversion very quickly and I already have most of the parts.Propane is a fairly easy fuel to handle compared to CNG. Not as easy as Unleaded or Diesel but for 1/3rd the price I can't resist. I have heard that the low propane prices are due to the fracking that is going on. I was recently traveling near Pittsburgh and I needed to get a hotel room one night and all of the hotels were booked and I was told that was because of the gas field workers who were shipped into open up the old PA oil wells via fracking.Apparently they are getting a lot of natural gas and propane out of those wells now. I've got a friend who commutes 120 miles per day and he is thinking about putting a Propane conversion on his car for the same reason. There is actually a propane fueling station that opened up on I-69 in Northern Indiana recently and the last time I went by there last week they were selling propane at the self service pumps for $1.29 per gallon. Not bad! :-) On the OT topic of CO2 - do you know that you can buy CO2 generators that are oftentimes used in greenhouses? They burn Natural Gas solely for the purpose of generating CO2... I thought that was ironic - CO2 really is a Greenhouse gas! :-) Google: CO2 generator greenhouse And yes, they are perfectly legal.Perhaps you guys in the UK need to relabel your cars mobile Green House gas generators and then perhaps you can get a farm credit or something instead. ;-) Dave On 8/5/2012 9:12 PM, jeremy youngs wrote: andy it was my impression from field engineers and warranty replacement that the issue is fuel lubricity in the diesels, While i am astounded by the output of modern oil burners they tend to like parts when not fed a diet of perfect fuel in my exp. as to the e85 they have a sensor in the canister vent and siff the o2 to calculate fuel blend and adjust fuel mapping accordingly.

Re: [Emc-users] OT - Ford diesels
On Monday 06 August 2012 11:04:47 Dave did opine: I currently have a Ford Ranger pickup truck that has a bifuel CNG (Compressed Natural Gas)/unleaded gas conversion and I am going to try and convert that to Propane. I don't have a good source for CNG and right now Propane is going for just over $1.00 per gallon when purchased in 500 gallons or more (I have a bulk tank). It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that $1.00 per gallon fuel will pay for a conversion very quickly and I already have most of the parts.Propane is a fairly easy fuel to handle compared to CNG. Not as easy as Unleaded or Diesel but for 1/3rd the price I can't resist. I have heard that the low propane prices are due to the fracking that is going on. I was recently traveling near Pittsburgh and I needed to get a hotel room one night and all of the hotels were booked and I was told that was because of the gas field workers who were shipped into open up the old PA oil wells via fracking.Apparently they are getting a lot of natural gas and propane out of those wells now. I've got a friend who commutes 120 miles per day and he is thinking about putting a Propane conversion on his car for the same reason. There is actually a propane fueling station that opened up on I-69 in Northern Indiana recently and the last time I went by there last week they were selling propane at the self service pumps for $1.29 per gallon. Not bad! :-) On the OT topic of CO2 - do you know that you can buy CO2 generators that are oftentimes used in greenhouses? They burn Natural Gas solely for the purpose of generating CO2... I thought that was ironic - CO2 really is a Greenhouse gas! :-) Google: CO2 generator greenhouse And yes, they are perfectly legal.Perhaps you guys in the UK need to relabel your cars mobile Green House gas generators and then perhaps you can get a farm credit or something instead. ;-) Dave One thing that stands out in this propane discussion is that propane is assumed to be for heating and cooking purposes. Since a large proportion of the pump price is the various state and federal taxes applied to road use fuel, it wouldn't take long for the tax folks to figure out that you aren't paying any road use taxes. Expect a few examples to be made because somebody isn't following existing law, and that separate pumps for road use taxed propane will be mandated relatively quickly.

Re: [Emc-users] solder paste
Hi Jon, I use a manual stencil printer now and it does work pretty well. The issue is banging out a stencil for all of the proto boards I make. There are about 30 proto designs created per year and since the boards change a bit before they become final, so does the stencil. I don't see the Mydata printer being used for high volume in large production houses as much as high flexibility (in setup) in a lower to medium sized assy house. The vision is to spend 1-2 hours programming a printer then let it loose on the boards. A typical board run for me is 200 pcs. I agree with printer maintenance. Mark recommended a peristaltic pump. I do like those. A short piece of small high quality tubing is easily disposed of. Mark also provided this link as an alternative method to the jet head: http://www.nordson.com/en-us/divisions/asymtek/Documents/Articles/2008_07_SMT_advanced_solder%20paste_NordsonASYMTEK.pdf I also have a 2000# automatic stencil printer that will accept up to 27 x 27 framed stencils. It was part of a package deal and I did not say no. The smallest framed stencil it will handle is maybe 20 x 20. The boards/panels can be smaller of course. My PP conveyor is only 12 wide.

What does motion.motion-enabled do and where is it used? 1. I grep'ed for it in the source and I see where it's created. Looking at the rest of the source code, it's not obvious where it's used. It shows up in mot_priv.h, motion.c and control.c. 2. It shows up in the hal status as an input, but I can't seem to drive it FALSE. 3. I came across this while looking for a way to inhibit motion. 4. The only type of motion I can't inhibit with the usual methods is homing (motion.feed-hold and feed rate override don't seem to work on homing). 5. I have a key switch that should disable ALL motion. It works, except for homing. 6. If there's no other way, I can probably OR all the is-homing signals, AND that with my-disable-switch-is-closed, and tie that to halui.abort. Thoughts?

Having tried this with syringes and relatively small needles, it takes a LOT of pressure to make the paste flow. Several hundreds of PSI for sure. I think the tubing would just bulge a bit more and not be able to stay pinched shut by the rollers. There is a kind of constrained peristaltic pump, where the tubing is pinched between a roller and a housing, but these are tougher on the tubing, and if the pressure backs up, the tubing just bursts. Also, you have to worry about mashing the solder spheres together into flakes, etc. Finally, I can't imagine anything with a single dispense nozzle being very fast.

Re: [Emc-users] OT - Ford diesels
Gene, please don't forget to take into account that liquefied gases have a density of less than two thirds of gasoline and even less than diesel fuel. Methane (CNG, CH4) is even lighter than butane (C2H6) or propane (LPG, C3H8). In addition, their thermal yield is about 10 to 20% lower per mass unit than that of liquid fuels (I didn't bother looking up the exact figures). Multiply those figures and you'll end up with less than half the energy content of gasoline. A lot of people over here in Germany converted their cars and were disappointed. In France, however, the government financially supports the use of LPG which boosted the conversion a lot, especially with small cars. A second obstacle is the lack of gas stations compared with the density of normal fuel supply stations.
