Re: [Emc-users] Wichita LinuxCNC meeting

2013-06-26 Thread Stuart Stevenson
Gentlemen,
  I think annual meetings are nice for everyone. A small
developer/integrator meeting would be useful but if our annual meeting is
understood to be a developer/integrator meeting then we won't have
disappointed attendees. I believe people new to the LinuxCNC world benefit
greatly by attending the developer/integrator meetings. Getting to know
everyone is a great benefit. You learn a lot by listening and watching. All
of the developers are available for questions from time to time and are
very willing to answer questions. Just don't expect classes and organized
events. The organized event is the meeting.
  That being said, I think it would be nice to have the meeting at another
place next year - not that I mind hosting but a different venue will make
it more convenient for some and possibly more interesting for all.
  Lacking a date and place by Nov 1 2013 I will set a date to have the
meeting in Wichita next year. This time we will post it in all places so
more can see it and plan for it. Any suggestions on the date are welcome.
Maybe this message should be posted everywhere also.
thanks
Stuart

How would Michigan sound for a meeting? I only have two lathes up and
running at the moment but I hope to have three and maybe a mill with a
fourth axis up by next spring. I do not have a lot to offer as far as
development knowledge but I am ready to help in any way possible.

I'm talking to the other folks at my hackerspace/makerspace about hosting.
I have no doubt that they'd be happy to do it.

At TX/RX Labs, we have 6 different machines running LinuxCNC: 2 routers
(3x4 and 2x2), a Bridgeport Series 1 CNC, a 3D printer (Mendel), an Emco
CNC mini-Lathe, and a PCB mill plus a Powerhawk mill and Okuma lathe slated
for future LCNC conversion. (Another member is bringing in another knee
mill running LCNC this weekend.) We also teach classes on using LCNC at
least twice a year. Our facility is approximately 16,000 sq/ft. Half is
air-conditioned and includes a conference room with projector/screen, a
classroom with 18 workstations, electronics bays, wireless internet, and a
full kitchen.

We're in Houston, so if you don't like the heat we could hold the meeting
later or earlier in the year, we're a non-profit so exact dates are really
flexible. But, on the many plus sides, Houston has more restaurants per
capita than anywhere in the world (so good food is no problem), and the
Labs are in the center of Houston, so they're all close.

  I have no doubt that they'd be happy to do it.
 
  At TX/RX Labs, we have 6 different machines running LinuxCNC: 2 routers
  (3x4 and 2x2), a Bridgeport Series 1 CNC, a 3D printer (Mendel), an Emco
  CNC mini-Lathe, and a PCB mill plus a Powerhawk mill and Okuma lathe
 slated
  for future LCNC conversion. (Another member is bringing in another knee
  mill running LCNC this weekend.) We also teach classes on using LCNC at
  least twice a year. Our facility is approximately 16,000 sq/ft. Half is
  air-conditioned and includes a conference room with projector/screen, a
  classroom with 18 workstations, electronics bays, wireless internet, and
 a
  full kitchen.
 
  We're in Houston, so if you don't like the heat we could hold the meeting
  later or earlier in the year, we're a non-profit so exact dates are
 really
  flexible. But, on the many plus sides, Houston has more restaurants per
  capita than anywhere in the world (so good food is no problem), and the
  Labs are in the center of Houston, so they're all close.

[Emc-users] Wichita LinuxCNC meeting

2013-06-24 Thread Stuart Stevenson
Gentlemen,
  First response - WOW - the only word to describe the week.

  Over thirty people attended this week. When I posted the meeting time and
place I thought eight might show up and twelve would be a large number. I
was surprised! Many states were represented as were Canada, UK and Austria.
What a joy to meet and get to know everyone.

  Cool stuff:
  3D printing
  Web page (and Android) control
  Watching techs with scopes ferreting out signals from electronic devices
  Programmers trying software control experiments
  Discussion about software/hardware timing and protocol.
  Meetings about changes in software and hardware.

  This was overwhelming on a daily basis!

  From groups of two or three around the room to a couple complete group
gatherings an air of expectation was exhibited by excited voices and arm
waving descriptions. It was difficult to stay listening to one group while
overhearing another. Which do I want to concentrate on? I know I missed a
lot of information I would have loved to have heard.

  I can now put a face and voice to many of the names on the communication
channels. Last night I was hearing their voices and seeing their faces
while I was reading some of their emails. What a communication enhancer.

  Last response is WOW!

Thank everyone for attending and making this a memorable and productive
meeting!
Stuart

I would like to thank Stuart for hosting this incredible event.
Of course thanks to all for their dedication and work on the project.
Stuart said it best with WOW.
I enjoyed meeting people that I thought I would only exchange e-mail with.
The future of Linuxcnc looks bright.
Thanks to all and hope to see all of you again.

 channels. Last night I was hearing their voices and seeing their faces
 while I was reading some of their emails. What a communication enhancer.
 
  Last response is WOW!
 
 Thank everyone for attending and making this a memorable and productive
 meeting!

Re: [Emc-users] Wichita LinuxCNC meeting

2013-06-24 Thread sam sokolik
First off - Thank you Stuart you are more than generous.  Both dad and I 
had a wonderful time at the fest.  I hope we can keep this up more 
often.  3 years was way too long.

Now we had some success at the fest.
 Andy P asked if I would bring the accupins from the old GE control 
on the kt.

 Well - saturday (yah we don't get side tracked - do we?) We started 
doing some basic tests on the read head.  Andy had a frequency generator 
and we started injecting a signal into one of the coils.  We could sort 
of see a shift of the return signal and goofed around with it for a 
bit.  Jeff E was kind enough to whip up an arduino circuit that output 2 
square waves 90deg out of phase. When that was hooked up to each coil - 
it did something.  Just not what was expected.  (don't remember what but 
not right) After reading back on my notes it dawned on me that the 
signal really needed to be isolated (the original circuit was driven by 
a push pull h-bridge)  Pete W came by and said - if you have enough 
outputs you could generate differential signals.  Duh.  Back to Jeff E 
and 2 seconds later I had a new arduio program.
 That started looking promising.  Chris R came over and was poking 
at the scope.  We could see it shifting as the scale was moved - but the 
amplitude also changed.  We must have went around in circles for a while 
before we decided to change the arduio frequancy from 10khz to the 250hz 
that the original control used.  (I got stuck on 10khz because that was 
what seemed to go through the coil with Andy frequency generator).   I 
hooked up the circuit and Chris fiddles with the scope.  He exclaimed - 
'I think it is working!' and he was right.'

this is why it looked a bit noisy... :)

After a bit of happy dancing - Andy and Jeff started looking at the 
signal.  I got sidetracked again and didn't really pay attenion to what 
they where discussing.  What they decided was that they could also read 
the output with an arduino..  A bit later - Jeff shows up with a way to 
log the output.  he goofed around with it and graphed some of the data 
and it looks very exciting.

Thanks again for everyones input!

 Gentlemen,
First response - WOW - the only word to describe the week.

Over thirty people attended this week. When I posted the meeting time and
 place I thought eight might show up and twelve would be a large number. I
 was surprised! Many states were represented as were Canada, UK and Austria.
 What a joy to meet and get to know everyone.

Cool stuff:
3D printing
Web page (and Android) control
Watching techs with scopes ferreting out signals from electronic devices
Programmers trying software control experiments
Discussion about software/hardware timing and protocol.
Meetings about changes in software and hardware.

This was overwhelming on a daily basis!

From groups of two or three around the room to a couple complete group
 gatherings an air of expectation was exhibited by excited voices and arm
 waving descriptions. It was difficult to stay listening to one group while
 overhearing another. Which do I want to concentrate on? I know I missed a
 lot of information I would have loved to have heard.

I can now put a face and voice to many of the names on the communication
 channels. Last night I was hearing their voices and seeing their faces
 while I was reading some of their emails. What a communication enhancer.

Last response is WOW!

 Thank everyone for attending and making this a memorable and productive
 meeting!
