Re: [Emc-users] Thoughts on a Python script to calculate estimated run time, for G code and my first hacked sub routine

2014-10-15 Thread Frank Tkalcevic
I was so annoyed that the estimates for my 3d printing jobs were so far off (estimated 2 hours, took 8) that I modified the axis code. It looks at the Velocity and acceleration of each axis and tries to calculate a more accurate time. It only looks at moves - no G64 or probing. It isn't perfect,

My guess is the new tool planner's G64 settings are throwing off the estimate. Try the real time with tighter G64 PXXX, and I suspect your results will differ. - Original Message - From: "Sebastian Kuzminsky" To: "Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)" Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2014 12:

[Emc-users] OT: Pogo Pins

2014-10-15 Thread Kirk Wallace
I'm planning on using these pins: http://www.ebay.com/itm/141233257616 which are .053" in dia. with 5mm and .150" pitch. I would like to connect to the pogos with a connector rather than soldering a wire. I would like the connector to be between two boards: http://wallacecompany.com/tmp/Screensho

Could you use a tag cable? (there are other sources of the same thing.) We use them for programming. http://www.tag-connect.com/ Samtec makes header sockets that can come up through the bottom of the board. We use those too. SMD On Wed, Oct 15, 2014 at 3:50 PM, Kirk Wallace wrote: > I'm plan

I'm not sure exactly what you are aiming for, but I did something a little while ago that I think is very similar. I got the sockets that the pins fit into. They have a step in the outside diameter. I laid out the upper board with holes that the entire socket fits thru, and the lower board with

I just remembered that I had a detailed drawing of what I did. A picture is worth a thousand words. See attached. This was a test fixture for a small PC board. The main part of the fixture was a board on the bottom, with short pins that contacted the back of the board under test. The pogo pins

[Emc-users] Axis GUI in 2.6.3 missing the Machine Velocity display ?

2014-10-15 Thread Dave Cole
The Axis Gui somewhere along the way lost the Machine Velocity display apparently? I think it might still be there but it may be black text on a black background. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? Under View, there is a show/don't show Machine Velocity selection, but it doesn't work.

Yeah, I don't have the latest trajectory planner. 3d_chips was one of my test files and came out ok without G64 settings. Any suggestions on how to estimate with G64? > -Original Message- > From: Todd Zuercher [mailto:zuerc...@embarqmail.com] > Sent: Thursday, 16 October 2014 3:16 AM >
