What did you mod today?

I probably “diced” it when I sliced the dome off, when I do a vertical cut to remove phosphor from the substrate around the die I call it dicing, as it’s reminiscent of dicing onions or whatever. :slight_smile:

Slicing and dicing :stuck_out_tongue:

I don’t remember ever having bought a Luxeon V though. I know I got my first mtnelectronics 20mm stars not all that long ago (ok, could have been a year or even two, my memory, you know, but I don’t think Richard has had his own MCPCB’s that long…. I could be wrong about that too.)

At any rate, this emitter being on an mtnelectronics star kind of dates it… to some degree.

I thought the substrate would give it away, need to look through the multitudes of emitters that CRX has documented I guess…

Any pictures of your home made threading tool?

The LH351C or LH351D looks like it. The lower right corner angled like that appears to be a good match.

I’ll have to take one next time I’m in the garage.

Wow! I watched some of the vid but not sure of your Java script problem. I haven't done much in Java, yet alone Java scripting. I've done some mods but never full development. Java scripting though is usually easier/simpler than the full implementation. I work in C# every day and Java and C# have a lot in common, least the language but the package/support stuff is vastly different.

Good video, I need one of those :slight_smile:

Very nice W, big time. The stuff dreams are made of… so, now, if you could only … (where to start)

LH351D would be my best bet too.

I apologize in advance but does C stand for Chinese? :stuck_out_tongue:

C followed B of course! Actually, B and BCPL were predecessors to the C language, as defined in the gospel of C: the K&R book, or the Book of K&R, and written by the prophets.

Yeah, yeah, I know... 40 years in programming and you would be a little off the wall too

Thanks Tom E. It is all Chinese. :slight_smile: Happy Xmas buddy.

Thanks for the direction guys, looks like that X5 did indeed have a Samsung LH351D emitter, when I diced the sides off it removed the wavy look that identifies it for me.

I replaced it with a Black Flat and it makes 95.75Kcd in the little aspheric X5. :smiley: (AHorton aspheric, Bistro through a 14500)

Tom, I’ll start a new (OFF TOPIC) thread asking the Java question. Here’s a teaser.

case “tapping”:
F = tool.getThreadPitch() * rpmFormat.getResultingValue(spindleSpeed);
if (properties.useRigidTapping != “no”) {
writeBlock(mFormat.format(29), sOutput.format(spindleSpeed));
}
writeBlock(
gRetractModal.format(98), gAbsIncModal.format(90), gCycleModal.format((tool.type == TOOL_TAP_LEFT_HAND) ? 74 : 88),
getCommonCycle(x, y, z, cycle.retract),
“P” + secFormat.format(P),
feedOutput.format(F)
);

Yikes!

Should look like this in regular code format:

case "tapping":
   F = tool.getThreadPitch() * rpmFormat.getResultingValue(spindleSpeed);
   if (properties.useRigidTapping != "no")
   {
      writeBlock(mFormat.format(29), sOutput.format(spindleSpeed));
   }
   writeBlock(
         gRetractModal.format(98),
         gAbsIncModal.format(90),
         gCycleModal.format((tool.type == TOOL_TAP_LEFT_HAND) ? 74 : 88),
         getCommonCycle(x, y, z, cycle.retract), "P" + secFormat.format(P),
         feedOutput.format(F)
   );

Interesting, unfortunately I'm not so adept in machinery lingo. I suppose the writeBlock() guy is sending the commands/data out to the machine, but some of those codes they use like 28, 98, 90, etc. I have no clue about.

I need F to equal thread pitch. Not thread pitch * RPM

The numbered codes are g-code numbers. The machines use them directly.

The whole thing is a string substitution / variable mash that I can’t quite figure out.

Ok, then just change the F line to:

 F = tool.getThreadPitch();

All statements must end in semi-colon, that's why I'm leaving it there.

That expression, in case you are confused about, for gCycleModal:

 gCycleModal.format((tool.type == TOOL_TAP_LEFT_HAND) ? 74 : 88)

All it means is:

if (tool.type == TOOL_TAP_LEFT_HAND)
  gCycleModal.format(74);
else
  gCycleModal.format(88);

The "?" and ":" represents an "if then" and "else".
