01:06.03 brlcad anger management?
01:06.25 archivist I think a good woman should take erik in hand and give him a good spanking
01:06.57 archivist hmm perhaps not he may like it too much
01:12.43 brlcad undoubtedly

22:44.53 brlcad there are lex/yacc grammars for a C interpreter already written that you could just use
22:52.50 Twingy I don't want a C interpreter
22:52.56 Twingy I want an interpreter written in C
22:56.05 archivist ti interpret what? g codes
22:56.47 Twingy yes, but I think I'm going to write it rather than explain what I need
22:58.52 archivist fun
22:59.10 Twingy http://gcam.js.cx/images/GCAM_PS_200604080432.jpg
22:59.13 Twingy I did that last night
22:59.25 Twingy using my cylinder primitive
22:59.58 Twingy It is totally unoptimized and took 57 minutes to run
23:00.03 brlcad that looks horrible :)
23:00.18 Twingy it was a piece of scrap from the floor
23:00.24 Twingy how so?
23:01.04 archivist 57 mins how many laps , was the cutter worn out through wear (too long a contact time)
23:01.29 Twingy my software pushed it through 3 layers per cylinder
23:01.49 Twingy and I think 5 or 6 revolutions per layer
23:02.01 Twingy one on the right is 20% smaller
23:02.22 brlcad it just looks like a piece of scrap is all :)
23:02.36 Twingy the precision would be higher if I had aluminum
23:02.43 Twingy but this is very good for wood
23:02.56 Twingy wood splinters now matter what precision you have
23:03.01 Twingy s/now/no
23:03.24 Twingy the two cylinders in the middle are all I milled
23:03.33 Twingy the rest is the actual scrap
23:03.45 archivist got to get the cutter speed up to minimise splinters in wood
23:03.58 Twingy doesn't matter how high it is, still going to splinter
23:04.31 Twingy these circles are slightly larger than the size of my thumbnail
23:04.35 archivist does kinetics mean a cut instead of splinter
23:06.20 Twingy there really isn't any splintering on the circles
23:07.02 archivist I noticed its reasonably smooth
23:07.43 Twingy I basically just blew out the sawdust and wiped it down with a piece of sand paper for a few seconds
23:07.57 Twingy didn't really need any work
23:08.15 Twingy anywho, back to coding
23:09.40 archivist the thng that buggers the finish on the cnc miller here is that it stops for a ms or three while its moves to the next primative
23:10.02 archivist and so leaves marks
23:10.30 Twingy I don't notice it in wood
23:11.24 Twingy soon I will have to build my forge
23:12.00 archivist hehe I might put up a pic of the forge I built outside here for 1 job
23:14.43 Twingy I'm adding tool change code now
23:16.27 archivist www.archivist.info/forge
23:17.17 archivist didnt have coal used barbeque briquets
23:17.20 Twingy dude, that's ghetto :)
23:17.57 Twingy I'm going to build a mobile cart that hold a propane tank and burner for melting aluminum
23:18.06 archivist not much wind from a 386 power supply
23:20.00 Twingy I just need to get my mig welder so I can make it
23:20.15 Twingy debating whether to buy the fish tank before or it or not
23:20.57 archivist get the welder then make the fishtank
23:21.23 Twingy I was thinking about doing that
23:21.32 Twingy and use my mill to make some braces
23:22.04 Twingy will hold the glass in place and then I can just add caulk
23:22.49 Twingy it'll be totally over engineered
23:26.02 Twingy I will need to work on my glass cutting skills first
23:27.10 archivist lube the cutter with a light oil, scribe once only with firm pressure
23:27.37 archivist watch a pro for a few minutes
23:27.40 Twingy I'm talking about cutting out circles
23:28.03 archivist they make it look easy
23:28.31 Twingy I'm tempted to maybe use plexiglas instead
23:28.59 Twingy 1/4" plexiglas is good stuff
23:29.39 Twingy mount it in a box groove
23:30.01 Twingy and far lighter
23:33.06 Twingy yea, I'll do that
23:33.18 Twingy and build aluminum support braces, will look sweet
23:46.26 archivist we did a plexyglass cover for a church clock, to stop the sandstone grit from getting in the gears
23:47.36 Twingy how is your mill coming
23:52.17 archivist www.archivist.info/forge/machinery.html
23:53.34 archivist it needs the software re doing, we may refit the electronics to do that
23:54.03 archivist I usually use it by pressing the buttons !!!
23:54.26 archivist as the software is so bad
23:55.19 archivist Ive got 3 other millers here to use
23:58.36 Twingy heh
