Re: [Emc-users] webrtc as remote control

2018-01-25 Thread Chris Albertson
webrtc is spec's for about 1 second round trip time.   This would be hugely
annoying to use.   Unacceptable lag.But one second is the worst case
and you would be FAR better than that if you have a small network all
contained one room with only two devices connected.

I think yo might do better NOT using webrtc and going with just the
underlaying protocol "RTP".   I don't see what the webrtc layer buys you
over RTP.  Any brewers that supports webrtc must support RTP

I've read and it is backed u with experience that you need latency LESS
THAN 50 ms if you want it to be mostly undetectable by humans.RTP is a
lite layer one just lain old UDP so it might have a fairly quick best case
time.

I'm guessing you want to use this so you can use a phone or tablet as a
wireless pendent controller.RTP might work but your phone/tablet also
has other radios on it that might offer lower latency.   Blue Tooth comes
to mind.   BT works well enough to be used as a mouse and keyboard.   My BT
based devices have zero perceicable lag.  I'd defiantly go with BT over
WiFi for a controller.

[Emc-users] webrtc as remote control

I not analize timing performances of webrtc app ... but someone think is
possible use webrtc tecnology as remote Lcnc control? I think at qt app
that send array data over rtc protocol ... not well think about mechanism
... actually I'm only impressionate about video calling latency
performances  sometime better than direct pc capture. At last an image
is only a bi-dimensional array, So a mask may be a simply way to decode the

I remember a work of Sir. Kuminski about quik tecnology

Unfortunately, when the competition has technology, economies of scale and
low salaries there are few options other than lower salaries.

Sounds promising, I do not want to compete with low salary.

As an electronic engineer it is really hard to find somewhere to earn money.

 I use these on all my machines. (typically combined with index homing for
the best possible repeatability).
They have the advantage that they can be buried inside the machine out of
harm's way. My target is normally a drilled hole in an non-bearing part of
the slide. Sometimes filled with a plastic plug.
I thought I had a better picture than this, but you can see the hole that
the X-axis one lives in to the left of the ball-nut block in this picture:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/zZSFMootmB2rN8GB2
And this picture shows the target hole on the actual lathe slide (for the Z
axis)
https://photos.app.goo.gl/Bbxfx8WoIZiIjc8l2
In the pic the plug is aluminium. That didn't work It is now Delrin.

Its amazing that they can sell those for just over $2 bucks.. Crazy cheap!


They partly save the money on the cables. I have had many cable failures
and no sensor failures. I would suggest replacing the wires as close as
possible to the sensors with something like:

https://www.rapidonline.com/lappkabel-1027752-lflex-chain-808-cp-grey-drag-chain-cable-3-x-0-5mm-63-4350

Note that you are then spending much more on the wire than the sensor :-)
(There are cheaper 3 x 0.5mm cables in the same section of that web site)
