07:10:43 <LawrenceG> cradek: more tests on todays debs..
07:11:19 <LawrenceG> cradek: I changed display config to mini
07:12:29 <LawrenceG> cradek: it runs fine on the slow P200 here, but it depends on a courier font that is not installed on ubuntu for the large position display (defaults to small text)
07:14:21 <LawrenceG> cradek: on the bdi version, I was able to set the position display font in the ini file by defining POSITION_FONT = Arial 42 bold in the display section
07:15:52 <LawrenceG> cradek: I am not having any luck finding a font that works... any suggestions?
07:16:28 <LawrenceG> cradek: second issue.... my stepper drive uses quadrature phase drive, not step/dir
07:17:56 <LawrenceG> cradek: in the bdi version, in core_stepper.hal. one changed to loadrt stepgen cfg="2 2 2"
07:18:54 <LawrenceG> cradek: in this release, the var seems to be step_type=0,0,0.... if I change this line to 2,2,2
07:26:05 <LawrenceG> cradek: never mind... need to dig up the correct pin names for the phase A and B outputs from stepgen
07:39:44 <LawrenceG> cradek: headed off to bed now willcontinue testing tomorrow
13:45:59 <alex_joni> morning
13:46:04 <cradek> hi alex
13:48:36 <alex_joni> how's it going?
13:50:05 <cradek> fine
13:50:13 <cradek> I should be getting myself to work!
13:50:38 <cradek> running a little late, so I sit chatting on the computer
13:50:47 <cradek> funny how that works
13:51:12 <alex_joni> heh, I'm done for today
13:51:22 <alex_joni> that's nice for a change :D
13:51:27 <cradek> good, you have a whole evening to relax
13:53:51 <alex_joni> and maybe work on emc ;)
13:54:50 <cradek> sounds fun
13:55:20 <alex_joni> yeah, my only problem is that my ssh pc's don't have realtime on them
13:55:31 <alex_joni> and most probably the realtime detection of configure will fail
13:55:37 <alex_joni> need to see how I can work around it
13:57:11 <cradek> you'll have to commit a change and wait an hour for the compile farm to build it for you
13:57:21 <cradek> sounds a little inefficient
13:57:27 <alex_joni> lol, indeed

16:03:42 <alex_joni> cradek: are you there?
16:04:00 <cradek> yes
16:04:15 <alex_joni> I need some help
16:04:40 <alex_joni> I managed to install autoconf, but now i'm missing gcc
16:04:48 <alex_joni> and I don't think I can install gc & co
16:04:51 <alex_joni> gcc & co
16:05:16 <alex_joni> it's a SuSE 8.2 system , almost impossible to find/satisfy all deps.
16:05:33 <cradek> you could never compile anyway, right?
16:05:39 <alex_joni> no
16:05:46 <alex_joni> I don't have RT over there
16:20:14 <jepler> Is there a good reason that rtapi.conf is generated by make, not by configure?
16:21:11 <alex_joni> jepler: probably only historical reasons
16:21:23 <alex_joni> it was generated before configure.in was written
16:21:59 <alex_joni> I just told chris some autoconf foo to make the version stuff properly
16:22:36 <alex_joni> so check with him if you want to commit..
16:22:52 <alex_joni> merging errors on configure are a PITA
16:46:36 <alex_joni> * alex_joni is taking advantage of some time off to read on xenomai
17:43:25 <alex_joni> nice work jeff, it's easier to overview now

17:56:37 <jepler> alex_joni: "easier to overview"?
17:59:24 <alex_joni> yeah, to see where it's coming from
17:59:38 <alex_joni> did I say I hate closed standards?
17:59:38 <jepler> you mean for rtapi.conf?
17:59:41 <alex_joni> yeah
18:00:02 <alex_joni> jepler: http://www.realistic-robot-simulation.org/ (closed standard)
