03:18.46 Twingy I need to write the manual gui for gcam
03:18.47 dan_falck oh oh
03:19.11 dan_falck do you want some help with it?
03:19.12 Twingy I'll use a standard treeview and expat I think
03:19.19 Twingy you know gtk?
03:19.27 Twingy or expat?
03:19.33 dan_falck not gtk, but the manual for using it
03:19.43 Twingy you do any coding?
03:19.48 dan_falck python
03:19.55 Twingy m'kay
03:20.11 dan_falck I design tooling, not a programmer
03:20.17 Twingy ah, k
03:20.27 Twingy well, gcam is functional right now
03:20.32 dan_falck cool
03:20.34 Twingy you got time to give it a spin?
03:20.37 dan_falck yes
03:21.03 Twingy um, comtrash disabled my inbounds, should be on comcast worksplace next week, but how do you want tarball
03:21.20 dan_falck tgz is fine
03:21.24 Twingy how
03:21.28 Twingy dcc?
03:21.45 dan_falck dcc doesn't seem to work with this system
03:21.56 dan_falck how about the web site?
03:22.32 Twingy again
03:22.38 Twingy comcast disabled my inbounds
03:22.54 Twingy I am switching to comcast workplace with a static ip, but not until next week
03:22.58 Twingy ...will that occur
03:23.07 dan_falck ok, sorry
03:23.14 dan_falck how big is it?
03:23.23 Twingy what OS are you running
03:23.47 dan_falck ubuntu, mac os x, redhat 7, debian
03:23.53 Twingy k, works on all those
03:23.58 dan_falck lot's of machines out in my garage
03:24.09 Twingy windows/freedos/freebsd in the garage
03:24.56 Twingy how about email
03:25.07 dan_falck let's try it
03:25.11 dan_falck dfalck@verizon.net
03:26.39 Twingy sent
03:27.18 dan_falck ok got it. Thanks
03:27.27 Twingy scratch the src/gcam, make that ./gcam
03:28.02 Twingy let me know after you got it running
03:28.28 dan_falck Ok. I'm going to transfer it to a ubuntu box in my garage. I will let you know how things work out tomorrow.
03:28.31 dan_falck thanks
03:29.40 Twingy k
03:29.42 Twingy here's how things work
03:30.14 Twingy create a new project, insert a sketch, insert lines and arcs, insert lines and arcs into the extrusion to control depth
03:30.39 Twingy export g-code to drive mill, double check the feed though
03:33.17 dan_falck ok
03:34.03 Twingy there are a handful of minor things that still need work
03:34.23 Twingy so whenever I get around to finishing those I can release
03:34.53 dan_falck I've been testing out lots of little bits of OS cam
03:35.01 dan_falck small applications
03:35.17 dan_falck that OpenCascade CAM thing was the latest
03:35.37 Twingy I wasn't thrilled by OpenCascade CAM
03:35.43 dan_falck I've been looking at aptos, which is command line driven but very powerful
03:35.53 Twingy it's using alot of non-standard stuff to create something in a hurry
03:36.28 Twingy I think you'll find the foundation of gcam is very solid, more than meets the gui
03:37.27 dan_falck is it possible to extract info about lines and circles from it to pipe into another application? (not having looked at it yet)
03:37.38 dan_falck lines and arcs I mean
03:37.44 Twingy from the binary file, sure
03:37.55 Twingy I haven't published the binary file spec yet
03:38.19 Twingy it's highly extensible and backwards compatible oriented
03:38.44 Twingy much thought went into it
03:39.41 Twingy now I'm off, ttyl
03:39.59 dan_falck let me compile this on the garage machine. I'll pop up under another irc name from there
03:40.02 dan_falck thanks
03:40.18 dan_falck bye
03:40.27 Twingy k
