That's called "chord" and is an option you need to enable in

no idea where it has been moved.

Well, I only use hardware encoders, and the minimill has 4:1 
belt
reduction, 16 TPI screws and 500 cycle/rev encoders, so that
is 128000 counts/inch.  At 60 IPM, that is 128,000 
counts/second.
That is a pretty extreme case.

The problem with the index is it is noise sensitive, and 
unless you
put a totally arbitrary delay on it, you can't do much to filter
out noise on that channel.  (I don't know if you are going to
have any filtering on the quadrature, either.)

Again it would be nice to get that working with the Gui.
There is some stuff in the wiki but i would think it has to be tied in

Nice unit...I forgot about those.  Do you have configs available to get
it working with LinuxCNC or does it "Just Work"?  It's not clear from
the product page if I can just buy one and use it with a generic
LinuxCNC install, or if it only works with Tormach machines.

[Emc-users] New trajectory planner - testers wanted.

2014-01-26 Thread sam sokolik
This is an extension of the 'slow gcode' thread.  The work that Robert 
has done on the TP are now in the beta stage.  (has been for a little 
while - but I forgot to post anything about it on the user list.. :( )

I think the best way forward is to look at the thread on the forum and 
follow the directions to build it.  (if you are wanting to test the new TP)

http://www.linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/forum/10-advanced-configuration/27368-new-trajectory-planner-testersprograms-wanted

currently the new TP improves the path velocity (by read ahead) if the 
segments are

Line-line
Tangent line-arc
Tangent arc-arc

Here are a couple screenshots..  This is showing a simple program (one 
rogge had posted a while back with an entry/exit move )

slows a bit at the sharp corners.

Old TP running G64P.001Q.001 - slows down a lot more..  (I think mainly 
because the parabolic blend needs to be slowed down quite a bit compared 
to the circular blend to match the path)

Hey, thanks for this link! I'm currently controlling a machine just with
the keyboard, which is a bit annoying. I've thought of hooking up a
joystick for easier positioning, but such a thingy could be even handier.

With slow refresh on Gremlin my keyboard jog response is fine. I don't
however know if my GUI has jog problems with the default 50mS refresh as I
do all my actual jogging with the Contour Jog/Shuttle

http://www.tormach.com/store/index.php?app=ecom&ns=prodshow&ref=30616

It is configured with a geometric speed law on the spring-loaded ring. You
can jog at full rapid speed slowing to a crawl allowing touch-off to a
"tenth" very quickly and safely compared with an MPG or keyboard.

I will edit Gremlin and give keyboard control a try tomorrow.

Re: [Emc-users] Encoder Index Support Survey

2014-01-26 Thread John Prentice (FS)
Greetings

I am very happy with Peter's comments on the handling of Index and polarity.

On frequency, my calcs. are like this:

Lathe: Spindle speed up to 3500 RPM. Threading and tapping will be slower
than this but very handy to have actual spindle speed display of whole
range. Encoder at 500 lines (gives 0.18 deg resolution) and easily sourced.
A/B pulse train 29.2 kHz though on some encoders Index can be very narrow.
In this case, if one does need it, a hardware latch with control by A/B
would not be hard.

Mill: Potential spindle speed 12,000 RPM. With 500 line encoder = 100 kHz so
probably necessary to limit display of actual speed or use 100 line encoder
with a software quadrature decoder.

I would like to have a driver that presents the data from the one hardware
decoder that is visible on the 'bone headers. That would easily do very high
speed spindles.

100 line MPG is a walk-in-the-park but nevertheless will be very useful.

Best wishes

John Prentice

I'm working on adding software encoder support to the BeagleBone PRU code.
Counting up/down is easy, but I'm wondering how to deal with the index
pulses.  Both the Mesa VHDL code and the existing software encoder component
have quite a variety of options, and I'm wondering if it is necessary to
support them all (more options = longer code = lower operating frequency).

If you use encoders on your machine, what options do you have set for the
HAL component, and (if you know) what is the maximum pulse frequency for
your machine?

I do, but not on a BB yet. I am using a 50 slot optical disc, A/B/X, with 
ATM about a 2000 rpm max spindle speed.  With the older motor & gearing it 
was 2500 revs tops and still had considerable headroom.

Currently that calculates to 150 microseconds per slot edge, with a 23 u-
sec base thread.  So my sample rates theoretically have a more than 
sufficient time to do their work.

Where 100x or more accurate knowledge would be required to move a joint 
precisely than the 2.4 degrees I get, and the number of joints to track is 
some multiple of 3, or even 9, I can easily see a missed count situation 
arising since my safety factor for one, the spindle, is only 6. But at more 
normal, say 600 rpm turning speeds, there isn't any excuse to miss a count, 
ever.  That data then could be used to infer the maximum velocity that a 
joint could be expected to move w/o errors in tracking it in real time.

In the case of the BBB, maybe its time to set an output pin true as the 
encoder module is entered, and clear it before that final return, and 
develop some timing information that would give us a better handle on our 
estimates of just how much processing time is actually used by hal out of 
each base-thread incarnation, ditto the TP and servo-thread?  That 
information would certainly be enlightening.  Even just having hal set the 
flag pin going in, and clearing it when it falls back to idle, which I have 
to assume in some cases won't be a spin in place, but to finish an 
unfinished servo or TP thread incarnation.  The hal method would be far 
simpler, and by tossing a # in front of a modules addf, an individual 
modules execution time can be deduced.  Its more complex than that of 
course in terms of editing the hal file, but still something that needs to 
be done.  We might find that the BBB really doesn't have the computational 
iron to do the job.  While I'm happier than that famous pig with my pair of 
atoms, I have also found that it does have some real limits in an all 
software situation.

Where there are multiple joints per axis, that strikes me as a very strong 
argument in favor of hardware solutions that are hopefully 100 to 1000x 
faster than software unless call a surveyor to set stakes speeds are usable 
for that job.  Since the machine needs to bill at a profit to justify even 
bidding on the job, I cannot imagine a situation where those limited speeds 
would be justifiable.  Either build state of the art, or stay home like I 
do.

Cheers, Gene

It's just a plain xterm...no need to go calling it names!  ;-)

Standard X rules apply, since it's a standard X program.  Select via
left button.  Insert via  or the middle mouse button if
you have one (my mice don't and the click both left-and-right for middle
doesn't seem to be working).

You can also use <(left|right)-click> to bring up some
configuration options for the xterm.  I need to do this on some of my
smaller screens to get text big enough for my old eyes to read.

It's the MachineKit branch, which is a snapshot of UBC3 that I have
verified actually works.  The branch doesn't get updated often
(generally, only when I'm making new images), so if you want to track
development, you should use UBC3, typically from Michael Haberler's
github repository.

Yes, but I'm not 100% sure how.  I'm a command-line guy, and the fact
that the GUI comes up at all on the BeagleBone is mostly a testament to
the Debian developers and the LinuxCNC crew.  :)

If it makes you feel any better, I didn't install vim by default and
curse the system every time I start with a new image, go to edit a file,
and find half the key commands I'm used to don't do the right thing!

I have mostly tried to make the pre-built image the minimal required to
actually get LinuxCNC running, but yes, a text editor would be a good
addition.  I'm open to suggestions for a light-weight editor, or I could
just confuse all the new users and install gvim!  :)

Neat. The building behind mine @work tests space vehicles, and, for some
of the testing people can not be in the same room, in case of bits flying
off (e.g., program the linear accelerator to simulate an Airiane 5 launch,
and see what happens to the satellite.

Don't think they've dropped anything by accident, but there's always a

But I'll try ubc3 too. I just have to convert my config from ja4 to normal.

I did that too. Servo period is 2ms, cycle_time is 0.020s. I'll try larger

I also have a few questions regarding Machinekit:

This seems like something that could be relatively easily set up with
just HAL, and with the output going to halsampler / halstreamer (or
could be monitored on Halscope).

Thanks!  That makes sense and really helps.

I can do signal polarity for all encoder inputs in one XOR instruction,
so I'll have that.  I was thinking of adding input filtering, since I am
hopeful that I can get the encoder software taking less than 1 uS per
loop, and I think I can implement it with a few instructions per signal
(10-20 nS extra per bit) and have minimal overhead when disabled.

The AB gating logic is out, if you don't think it's required.  That
makes things a *LOT* easier.  :)

I would simplify the index logic to this:

Always latch the current count on index (probably rising) edge
and provide the latched count to the driver. Have a (clearable) bit
that indicates the index was latched.

The rest can be handled in the driver


notes:

You really never want clear-on-index as this borks velocity 
estimation.

Always latching the encoder on index provides a nice way to sanity check
the encoder counting (if abs (delta_latched_counts - counts/turn) >2 or so 
>>> badd)
.

main things missing:

index polarity, AB gating of index, input filtering

The combined ubc3-joints_axes4 branch is relatively untested.  Can you
try using the latest ubc3 branch and see if it behaves any better?

If things don't work better with UBC3, you may be running out of
resources.  If you're using axis, please switch to the DRO tab
immediately after power-on, and do not go back to the gremlin back-plot
display.  You might also try dramatically lowering the thread rate to
see if that's the problem.

[Emc-users] Encoder Index Support Survey

2014-01-26 Thread Charles Steinkuehler
I'm working on adding software encoder support to the BeagleBone PRU
code.  Counting up/down is easy, but I'm wondering how to deal with the
index pulses.  Both the Mesa VHDL code and the existing software encoder
component have quite a variety of options, and I'm wondering if it is
necessary to support them all (more options = longer code = lower
operating frequency).

If you use encoders on your machine, what options do you have set for
the HAL component, and (if you know) what is the maximum pulse frequency
for your machine?

I replaced the PSU and tried again. The same problem. Jerky moves in joint

When I started with LinuxCNC on the BeagleBone I was very excited about
the ease of creating custom gscreen skins, but got discouraged by the
high CPU usage and the fact that the gscreen sim configurations I tried
were mostly broken on the BeagleBone.

With the CPU usage reduced dramatically and several examples working as
expected on the BeagleBone, this now looks like a good way to go.

...I'd still prefer someone more artistically inclined than myself
actually do the GUI design.  Otherwise you probably won't be able to
distinguish it from tkemc!  :)

If left to me, I'll probably wind up mostly copying one of the existing
serial control programs designed to talk to the AVR controllers (ie:
Pronterface, repetier host, etc).

while in a branch of machinekit enter: git merge master
whether it merges cleanly I don't know, but probably.
machine kit is based on UB3 and master is regularly merged into UB3.
So merging UB3 into machinekit may be all you need.

Since it is so easy to create skins for Gscreen I would create one specifically
for 3d printers, the Gaxis  skin is just an easy starting point for testing / 
basing.
In fact Gaxis is for milling type machines right now. If you are ambitious you 
can
create your very own skin using Gscreen - Norbert created Gmoccapy as a skin.

Gremlin's update rate is set at 50ms which is quite high.
I once set it to 100 the plot was only a little more jerky.
(I use software rendering on my laptop.)
maybe we should make it configurable.

In Gscreen you can set the update rate from the INI
[DISPLAY]
CYCLE_TIME = 100
100 is the default update rate

graphics acceleration surely would help a lot.

Excellent notes, John, thanks for sharing!

One comment I'll add is the gremlin back-plot display seems to interact
with the X-Server and add significant lag to keyboard jogging (at least
the way it's setup by default).  Switching away from gremlin (ie: the
DRO tab in Axis) restores the keyboard's normal response when jogging.

With your updates, do you still see the keyboard lag, or does reducing
the load from gremlin help this issue?

I am working with a custom GUI in GTK2 including Gremlin on my BBB. The
following are anecdotal observations. I would love to properly profile the
running code bit do not yet see how to use the available tools (e.g.
cProfile)

(a) Gremlin needs lots of CPU - I don't know whether it is screen rendering
without the hardware accelerators that is the culprit.

(b) Showing the nicely shaded cylindrical tool is costly. If I cheat, and
make it appear a negligible length/diameter one, then CPU drops by about 10%

(c) I have GCode display in sourceview widget. If code (e.g. engraving) is
very long then moving the active line in this seems very expensive.

(d) Data which is "display only", e,g, Distance To Go DROs, implemented as
labels are much cheaper than general ones that can accept input like the
machine-axis DROs.

(e) The GUI is surprisingly useable at very low rates of updating the
toolpath, G code and even axis DROs. 1 second is OK. This makes significant
average CPU savings. The this low rate is tested when running a real
machine. The audio/visual feedback from the hardware makes the system feel
snappy even though the screen is lagging. Tests with no machine are
misleading.

A BBB ought to be plenty powerful enough. Perhaps the proper GPU graphics
will fix things. It would be nice to design an experiment to dummy out the
graphics work that could be done by hardware or to verify in some other way
that there are not other bottlenecks.

The MachineKit branch is quite stale at the moment, and it will probably
be a while until it gets updated.  The MachineKit branch exists mainly
to be a snapshot of UBC3 for "stable" releases, and I don't really
intend to update it until I get the pinmux fixes sorted out.

The general order of code updates is:

  Master -> UBC3 -> MachineKit

...where code goes in the oldest applicable branch.  So gscreen code
goes in master, and Xenomai code goes in UBC3.

Michael Haberler usually keeps UBC3 pretty current with master, but IIRC
he's off-line for a while having real-world adventures.  You should be
able to pull master into UBC3 with little or no problem so you can have
the latest gscreen changes.

Holler if you get stuck.

I regularly merge master into 
https://github.com/mhaberler/linuxcnc/tree/unified-build-candidate-3 which is 
the tree to use for machinekit

or on demand, like right now that branch is current with master, and I think 
it's also current with Charles' work

so pull again from above and you should be fine

Charles/Chris

How long before these changes with gscreen are merged with the 
machinekit git repo?
Or how do i pull the changes from master into machinekit?
I have done the git pull from master on my developer desktop and the sim 
works great,now just try and get it into machinekit.
I also did a git pull in machinekit but could not see any gscreen 
changes yet.
I know charles is wanting a 3d printer gui,but i would like to alter it 
for milling etc,so it should be easy to remove the extra 3d printer 
stuff like heated beds etc.
