I am working on a design for a small custom 2-axis machine with 2 joints. Joint 0 is linear and oriented in the Y direction. Joint 1 is rotary and mounted on Y. See attached drawing.
My question is, would I be best off creating a new kinematics module for this machine, or can I simply reuse an existing one? I’ve never done any kinematics math but this setup seems to require no more than a few trig functions. Any pointers on where to start with this? For control hardware I plan to use a Raspberry Pi with software stepping and something like a Trinamic Stepstick https://www.trinamic.com/support/eval-kits/details/silentstepstick/ <https://www.trinamic.com/support/eval-kits/details/silentstepstick/> As I said the machine is small; Motors are NEMA 17 or maybe NEMA 23. Since this is a headless machine with no more than a few controls (on/off, start, stop, reset, Emergency stop, etc) What is the best way to load G-code and run it when a button is pressed? I presume that I don’t need to load a GUI. I don’t want to load more than necessary to achieve a fast boot time. I will have VNC running for configuration and testing. But no dedicated screen. _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
