Wow, beautiful
How is 5i23 mounted? I do not see that it is fixed anywhere.


 I think that there is  a HAL module that links in to lmsensors to
 allow you to view such things inside EMC2.

Is there a place with more information, how to install components,
written in python?
This line is not sufficient for me:
chmod 755 component.py  sudo cp component.py /usr/local/bin/component

In that picture it is just sat there in the PCI connectors. Since then
I have added a bracket from the mounting holes onto the aluminium

It was fine, though meant that the board needed a moderately
complicated bracket.
The problem started when I was reconfiguring between 5i25 and 5i23 a
few times a week when doing driver work. The wires are mulitistrand
soldered to small PCBs with no strain relief. Once one went, others
kept following (I resoldered 15 or so, but more broke than got fixed

 I finally found a PCI riser that works with the mini-ITX Intel boards
 (D510 and D525)
 It puts the Mesa card over the motherboard, with the connectors facing up.

If the surrounding environment is not too hostile, the easiest way is to 
blow air through the box - like a PC.   The MW525 does not require a fan 
so if you create a breeze across
the heat sink it should be cooled sufficiently in even a hot

to blow air across the components inside the box and make sure the box 
is large enough to become warm yet dissipate the heat
into the cooler surrounding air.   A MW525 system throws off about 20 
watts of heat.

I recently bought some of these to help keep dust and dirt out of a PC 
enclosure in dirty environment.   Along with a good 120 mm fan, 
something like this would be useful in some industrial environments to 
ventilate a cabinet with filtered air.

It really isn't just a CPU cooling issue.  Usually the entire enclosure 
needs to be cooled.  The cheap industrial way to cool a cabinet is to 
use a Exair type vortex compressed air powered cooler.  They are 
relatively cheap, and bulletproof, but they eat a lot of compressed air.
But if you have a lot of compressed air available, then that can be a 
good solution.

In general, I like to keep water away from electronics and high 
voltages...  :-)

Although... the low rider lighting is attractive..  ;-)

I have worked on a few high power induction heating units that use water 
to cool just about everything, including the power conductors.  I find 
them a bit scary.   480 volts, SCRs the size of hockey pucks, mixed with 
hoses and water all in the same cabinet!

I close the cabinet and stand around the corner when I throw the 
disconnect switch on after a repair.

Well, it is expensive, and for most systems it is now somewhat 
old-school and unnecessary!
The Atom systems as VASTLY lower power than earlier brute-force CPUs, 
and can run
fine in a small sealed box with no active cooling at all.  Their 
performance is quite good,

So can a teeny little screen corner utility called gkrellm, in real time 
while emc is running.  Rebooting to get into the bios to see hot hot things 
are isn't of much utility IMO.  With everything I have in this box, I have 
it set to display in a strip about 3.4 wide and 9 high, parked against 
the right edge of this wide screen monitor.  The heat sink needs cleaned so 
my phenom is currently running at 60C.

Re: [Emc-users] Riser for Intel Mini-ITX

2012-01-05 Thread John Stewart
Just an FYI, I have an Intel MD525MW motherboard, 4gig ram, and disk. The 
smallest case my supplier could get had a small fan on the power supply, and a 
fan for case cooling so I guess I could say that my motherboard is fan-cooled, 
but that's just life.

Had to turn off hyper threading on the motherboard; otherwise, I think that's 
it.

My G540 and 48v power supply is in a different case; this one came from an 
old-school 6gig disk drive; the fan was replaced with a 48v fan. This box sits 
on my mill stand, and is painted to match.

Makes for a nice, clean installation.

 Watercooling is the cats meow in high-end gaming systems. My local

 heat exchangers, tubing in disco colors, etc., (with or without the

 Apart from our natural conservatism, is there any reason y'all with big

 It really isn't just a CPU cooling issue.  Usually the entire enclosure
 needs to be cooled.  The cheap industrial way to cool a cabinet is to
 use a Exair type vortex compressed air powered cooler.  They are
 relatively cheap, and bulletproof, but they eat a lot of compressed air.
 But if you have a lot of compressed air available, then that can be a
 good solution.


I wasn't thinking just in terms of CPU cooling, Dave. With the parts 
available, one can rig up almost anything, which has always been a theme 
of this forum. Sure the shrink-wrapped retail components are expensive, 
but that's because it's being sold to folks with more money than sense 
(I've seen guys drop $5K on a custom gaming system). It can be done more 
cheaply.

The point for me was, you folks were talking about problems cooling a 
box in a dirty environment. To me that says use heat exchangers. If you 
don't like liquid-to-air heat exchange, use air-to-air heat exchange.

 From the days I started building experimental lab equipment, my 
personal choice always has been to try not to generate more heat than I 
can conduct away to ambient. These days the drive toward ubiquitous 
mobile devices is solving the problem on the computer side but it's 
still an issue on the motor-drive side.

And likely to remain so unless somebody comes up with a whole new 
technology whose switching losses are 10% of what we have today. In my 
case, 28 volt supply, times 2.37 amps=66 watts circulating between the 
driver and motor.  I'd estimate the motor is converting 40 watts of that to 
heat from i2r losses while the driver is using 20 in switching time losses 
with the other 6 watts being wasted in the semiconductors on resistances, 
commonly down in the milliohm range these days.  There probably is not a 
heck of a lot we can do about the motors eddy current and i2r losses and 
that is today, the almost veto proof majority.  Even better iron could 
help, but could we then afford the motor?  Good question IMO.

Air to air heat exchanger work ok if things are not too hot on the

Kewl Andy.  Looks like that gets rid of a rats nest of cabling too!

 The previous 2 I tried stopped the machine booting, and the flexi-one
 started losing wires.

Andy:

Did the flexible riser work for you before it started losing wires? How 
is it that it started losing wires? Do you mean conductors were breaking 
internally in the cable? breaking at the connector? ...

I presume the breakage was due to repeated flexing. Were you assembling 
and disassembling frequently?

Inquiring minds want to know, since the flexible riser seems to be 
commonly available here in the USA, and since it would allow more 
flexibility (no pun intended) configuring the boards.

Kent

With the Mesa board handling the low-level code is it possible to run
the servo thread with onboard video?

The D945, D510, and D525 motherboard video is OK even with software step
