<mattb0ne>
I just launch the PRU and print the position right now
<mattb0ne>
what would be the simpler version of that encoder
<zmatt>
decoder you mean, the encoder is the sensor on your shaft
<zmatt>
and I really don't think the problem is there
<zmatt>
simpler versions would have output that is either lower in resolution and/or more noisy
<set_>
You guys!
<set_>
Decode the spit off that thing!
<set_>
I cannot wait to see a post!
<mattb0ne>
hmmm
<mattb0ne>
could it be just a shity encoder
<zmatt>
quadrature encoding is quite robust against drift as long as the rate of change doesn't exceed what the decoder can handle, but this decoder can handle very high rates... like, 30ns between phases (quarter-steps) is sufficient
<zmatt>
i guess it might be possible to get a false reading if there's like severe ringing happening on both lines?
buckket has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
<zmatt>
depending on how the timings work out on that
<zmatt>
that's the only thing I can think of that doesn't involve mechanical slippage
<set_>
hmm. Slips of mechatronics!
<set_>
Are you two making things again?
<zmatt>
set_ can you just stfu?
<set_>
Fine.
<set_>
Sheesh.
<zmatt>
sorry but I was getting a bit tired of random bits of nonsense interjected into a conversion
<set_>
I understand.
<set_>
No issue what so ever. I was being outlandish while you two were being serious. It is a bit annoying.
<zmatt>
mattb0ne: the decoder could probably do filtering do be even more robust against noise, though it would be better to first determine whether it is indeed a signal integrity issue (and if possible fix it rather than working around it in software)
<zmatt>
mattb0ne: so what's your test currently, you have a test program that makes the motor go back and forth between two positions (based on the decoder output) and you're observing drift on the actual shaft positions?
<mattb0ne>
i was just moving the motor for like a second trying to hit 90 degrees
<mattb0ne>
I am visually observing it so I am not perfect but the miss is large enough that it does not matter
<mattb0ne>
Id say 20 degrees off
<mattb0ne>
so I think the motor went 90 degrees the encorder is telling me 72
<mattb0ne>
if I go back and forth the miss grows
<mattb0ne>
Trying to determine if I am always short
<mattb0ne>
then I will check on the scope
<mattb0ne>
it was clean last time I checked
<mattb0ne>
I always had this problem though
<zmatt>
wait, are you assuming the encoder value is in degrees?
<mattb0ne>
no i convert
<mattb0ne>
i get 1024 pulses per rotation
<mattb0ne>
i multiply by 4 due to your code
<zmatt>
and you're not somehow accidently introducing the drift in your conversion code? (I don't know how you'd manage that, but just checking)
<mattb0ne>
and take the proportion
<mattb0ne>
also the count is short
<mattb0ne>
I should be at around 1000
<mattb0ne>
for the 90 degrees and I am at 800 and change
<zmatt>
one thing that might be interesting is keep separate counters for the downward and upward movement... since if there's weird noise happening then presumably you'd see unexpected counts in the wrong direction
<mattb0ne>
a full rotation I am short like 800 counts
<mattb0ne>
good point
<mattb0ne>
since I am always short i am wondering if the signal is not clean
<zmatt>
or have the other pru core log every change of the position counter along with a precise timestamp (and have it do nothing else, control the motor from python)
<zmatt>
since you'd expect them to be evenly spaced out depending on motor speed
<zmatt>
so weird jumps or gaps would be suspicious
<mattb0ne>
that sounds great in theory not something I could do easily
<mattb0ne>
I am always short
<mattb0ne>
that much I can confirm
<zmatt>
as in, how much does a full rotation in the opposite direction count?
<zmatt>
since drift implies you're getting more counts in one direction than the other
<mattb0ne>
maybe drift is not the right description my error increases over time
<zmatt>
that is drift
<mattb0ne>
but it is due to the count being under reported
<mattb0ne>
for each move
<mattb0ne>
so if I were to rotate back and forth
<mattb0ne>
I would expect to be at zero or close to but I would get farther and farther
<mattb0ne>
yeah I gues that is drift
<mattb0ne>
I should not be surprised this was another amazon job
<mattb0ne>
china encoder.com
<mattb0ne>
says it on the unit
<zmatt>
it seems very unlikely that an encoder itself causes drift unless, like I said, there's mechanical slippage going on...
<zmatt>
instead of blaming components without diagnosis it would be more fruitful to diagnose
<mattb0ne>
yeah I know I know
<mattb0ne>
but I like low hanging fruit of blaming someone else
<zmatt>
and why exactly is what I suggested "not something I could do easily" ? you already have the exact framework for it that you need
<zmatt>
you already have the other pru core reading the position (among other things) and logging it to a ringbuffer with timestamp
<mattb0ne>
true
<zmatt>
the only change needed would be to make it do nothing else and purely trigger on position changes
<mattb0ne>
the triggers is where I would be lost
<zmatt>
ehm, save the previous position, check if current position is different from previous position
<mattb0ne>
I think I could handle everything else.
<mattb0ne>
and I looking for un-even spacing in the messages
<mattb0ne>
I can give it a shot i guess
<mattb0ne>
this would confirm my HW is borked ?
<zmatt>
it may give a clue what's going on and how best to work around it if it can't be fixed properly
<zmatt>
signal integrity issues still seem more likely to me than an actual problem with the encoder but who knows
<zmatt>
what's the max rate of change you're expecting of the position counter? (i.e. max rpm * 60 * 1024 * 4)
<mattb0ne>
I was going way slower than that during the trials but probably 240 RPMs
<mattb0ne>
so 58M
<zmatt>
hmmm, that's actually a very high rate
<zmatt>
I don't remember, was there a specific reason to do decoding in pru rather than in hardware using eQEP ?
<mattb0ne>
not that I can think of is it easier to share info between the PRUs and eQEP
<mattb0ne>
i was using the position info in the other PRU for control
<mattb0ne>
just for giggles I checked the other encoder I had it works fine
<mattb0ne>
just doesnt have the resolution
<zmatt>
eQEP can probably handle 58M phases/s (I can't immediately find a spec but I suspect anything below 100Mphases/s should be fine), my pru program will not tolerate that rate
<zmatt>
either way it does not leave any margin for filtering and will require high signal integrity
<mattb0ne>
hmmm
<mattb0ne>
i really do not need super accurate reading.Once I know positioning I could check less frequent than that. Are you saying the the code will blow up if it gets signals that fast
<zmatt>
yes
<mattb0ne>
the encoder that is working only gets 360 PPR so 20M
<mattb0ne>
will that blow it up
<zmatt>
it supports max 36Mphases/s, i.e. 148 rpm with your 1024-pulses-per-turn encoder
<mattb0ne>
ok so the lower res one will fit
<zmatt>
with 360PPR it would support up to 420 RPM
<zmatt>
(in theory, leaving no margin)
<mattb0ne>
well I think we have our answer
<zmatt>
I mean, you've been testing at much lower rate you said
<mattb0ne>
though I am going to take it as a weekend project to try and o the trigger thjing
<mattb0ne>
yeah on the high res one and it was off the 360 ppr one works
<zmatt>
if the problem is present when testing at a lower rate then the rate isn't the issue, obviously
<mattb0ne>
right
<mattb0ne>
and everything works with the different encoder
<mattb0ne>

Anyway...I am revisiting this '15 Cape that may or may not have been in production or a phase of that production instance. So, for instance, bothering TI people, blah, and trying to get to the bottom of making one! Is this a good idea?
<set_>
For what it is worth, this is the output on Kicad so far: https://imgur.com/a/OKGbnAp is the photo of it.

GenTooMan: I was going to try to make a couple but...
<set_>
One or two of my drillholes are off. Gerber!
<GenTooMan>
are they for through hole parts or just holes for fasteners or what?
<set_>
Hmm. Let me check. Maybe just fasteners.
<set_>
Well...let me correct myself (as usual).
<set_>
The gerber is correct from TI but the transfer from their Gerber into KiCAD and then into another source of software is giving the adjacent, off-the-board drillholes.
<set_>
I tried a specific co. that just throws a BOM and Gerber into action for a, cough, price.
<set_>
Let me get this link.
<set_>
If you are interested, I will get it.

Anyway, it is called macrofab. They are heavily expensive.
<set_>
They are talking $7xx.xx for one board...
<set_>
No!
<set_>
Seeed was in the ballpark of $4.95 but that is just the PCB.
<set_>
GenTooMan: I do not know. Sorry for the elongated response.
<set_>
MacroFab is telling me my Gerber is wrong when it is correct. Anyway...forget them for now. I think they are flashy for now.
<set_>
One is the BBB throughole near P9.1.
<set_>
Anyway...sorry to jump on you again over nothingness.
<set_>
Fasteners
<set_>
yes.
<set_>
One fastener throughhole/drillhole near P9.1 and the jack onboard the BBB near the P9 header.
<set_>
Done. Does not matter.
<set_>
Let me try to make more sense, please.
<set_>
If say, I was going to get beat to a pulp by pricing right now (%$^%*), what would be a or a couple of businesses that can make one or two at lenient costs?
<set_>
In this place I live in, the randomization of integrel businesses are far fetched, spread out, and/or not available.
<set_>
So, I am stuck lending.
<GenTooMan>
so what are you attempting to make?
<set_>
The entire Cape. It handles actuators.
<set_>
I mean...I have a UC2637N here. Right. So, I need a couple of drivers, which I may or may not have right now, and other parts (caps, diodes, and resistors).
<set_>
People do not care. I get it.
<set_>
I may flop. I may rise and flop. I may flop-pop-stop. But...I need to try something. I keep purchasing w/out knowing more. Reading is not enough.
<GenTooMan>
Oh you are making a cape so what you were doing was trying to get someone to build the gerber files you found into boards?
<set_>
Right. At first. Small steps.
<set_>
There are a lot of ways to making things in life. It is not so much task and glory, one by one until completion for me.
<set_>
I know notes, get it done, and produce or outsource. Rings true here.
<set_>
On a side note, games are senseless these days. I just got an email from WB Games. WB used to be warner brothers before the collapse. Now, "BACK 4 BLOOD!" Oh and the '4' is an actual 4 in the headline. Yikes.
<set_>
GenTooMan: Sorry to stray here but do you remember Slaughter House on Genesis?
<set_>
One would senselessly hit people w/ spiked bats and their heads would mush and explode.
<set_>
Okay. Done.
<set_>
I never once talked about it. Sorry to bring it up.
<GenTooMan>
people are into money not into making games. It's called greed. Nintendo pointed this out in the 1980's that making games won't earn money, but making games people enjoy does.
<GenTooMan>
I am more familiar with the game industry than I would like too be is a nice polite way of saying it. Let me say this nicely most of the gaming industry these days is filled with scum, yes REALLY scummy people.
<set_>
Guess what! We have a gaming industry here. They charge, and I know cost-cost-cost w/ me, $45000.00 large for the program.
<GenTooMan>
If you look at the top execs completely lazy people who don't care about making good games, only about "grabbing money any way possible".
<set_>
I remember thinking, "I should not smash heads." I quit the Slaughter House game for good. One time. One time. One time. That was enough of smashing.
<set_>
I done figured something that was incorrect.

Sometimes the heap runs low or is too high for RAM.
<Guest2276>
its ridiciulous body cams and dashcams use these even endurance cards do it

and if you want to use an adapter to use something like sata with the sd card slot it often ends up being slower than the sd card itself

ah i am not a hardware developer and what i know about electronics amounts to shocking myself or others for fun
<set_>
Oh.
<set_>
Yea. Do not shock others or yourself.
<set_>
First rule.
<Guest2276>
i dont anymore
<set_>
Smart!
<Guest2276>
that was 10 years ago
<Guest2276>
i am going to go lay down
<set_>
Oh. I have been doing it for fun for about five or six years.
<Guest2276>
whats that
<set_>
Electronics in general.
<Guest2276>
oh i misread
<set_>
oh. Yea. See.
<Guest2276>
if my knowledge of math didnt end at the second grade i'd say its a subject of great interest for me
<Guest2276>
but i guess i get to do the idiot equal of working on small engines
<set_>
Math-schmath. Learn to loop it. That way...things work until someone else breaks it.
<Guest2276>
id at leat need some basic alegbra
<set_>
Oh!
<set_>
I can teach you something.
<Guest2276>
good luck
<set_>
Ha.
<set_>
I am laughing. Thank you.
<Guest2276>
i have a very hard time focusing on things but i am not adverse to learning from others, as long as they udnerstand what the yare getting into
<set_>
A^2 + B^2 = C^2
<set_>
Oh.
<set_>
Okay.
<Guest2276>
you can add me on telegram if you like, it is not a very honest service in my experience, but there are not many honest, free email providers and i dont have any other methods of contact
<Guest2276>
outside reserving this nick and rejoining at a later date
<set_>
Do not fret. Like sucks.
<set_>
Life.
<set_>
Sorry.
<Guest2276>
i am not against trying to learn it
<set_>
Well, if A = 2. Then, 2^2 = 4.
<Guest2276>
what method of contact can we use outside this place? when more people are on we will probably get shut down for blabbering about algebra here, assuming its ever more active than us two
<set_>
Algebra!
<Guest2276>
the fuck is that pointy thing
<Guest2276>
nevermind, my head is killing me
<set_>
Oh.
<set_>
To the power of
<set_>
or squared
<Guest2276>
i have heard these words before
<Guest2276>
i wish i could read this somewhere that didnt glow
<set_>
Or. in programming. pow(2, 2)
<Guest2276>
i am still learning to count change
<set_>
Stop it.
<Guest2276>
my bad
<set_>
Do not count change. Learn algebra and every so often, learn some trig.
<Guest2276>
i am not trying to set a self fulfilling prophecy here, i have an open mind
<Guest2276>
i wish to avoid a life of working with computers or being an IT
<set_>
The power of Triangles!
<Guest2276>
oh yeah
<Guest2276>
i think i stole some code that used trig once
<set_>
Me too! I just learned how to do that again. But, I have not used it.
<Guest2276>
think it was a radar
<set_>
I need to figure out how to give guidance and ownership of the source.
<Guest2276>
perhaps, there are things i need to learn before basic alebra

For instance...I used some code from someone once and gave a full explanation of use, whereabouts, and who did it.
<set_>
I am using open source software all the time.
<set_>
But...paraphrasing means it is mine, i.e. even in source.
<set_>
A instead B here. C instead of D there.
<set_>
That is what I learned.
<Guest2276>
i like to remove licenses from whatever i compile
<set_>
But...maybe people are changing things on how to give documented ways of what was used, its whereabouts or origination, and so on.
<Guest2276>
people give documentation in your world?
<set_>
How to keep up. Logs and source, I guess.
<Guest2276>
i can tolerate the glow of this screen no longer
<set_>
Come on.
<Guest2276>
i am @OshaViolator69420 on telegram, but i will try to return here tomorrow
<Guest2276>
you do not understand, if i keep antagonizing my migraine it will persistent for 2+ days instead of 1
<set_>
Stick w/ it, man.
<set_>
Oh.
<Guest2276>
and i have to be at my nephews party tomorrow
<set_>
Okay.
<set_>
I am at my own party in my mind, man. Yes sir.
<set_>
So, back to the BBB!
<set_>
The Cape in question.
<Guest2276>
it is funny how no drugs or weird medicine works for migraines but caffine does
Guest2276 has quit [Quit: Client closed]
<set_>
Yep.
<set_>
I may never win the battle of friendship but blah.
<set_>
GenTooMan: I am sorry. Maybe we can chat about the Cape another time?
