Forgot to mention that I already tried that and the result was the same - pid saturated as soon as I tried to jog the joint. I will retry. And if I commented that line out, I was able to jog it, but it was really asymmetrical, which makes me think that the motor is not homed properly anyway.

Re: [Emc-users] Performance/Features of LinuxCNC compared to Kuka KRC2
2012/12/28 Florian Rist fr...@fs.tum.de: Hi Viesturs I agree with Andy about keeping servo amps. The problem is, that these amps are from Kuka and linked to the controller by some kind of bus system. At present I do not know anything about this bus. Do You have any documentation to find out, if the drive will accept analog or pwm signal? AFAIK there has been some work to get LinuxCNC to work with EtherCAT (I have seen a video in youtube that shows it in action), so if the drive has it, then there is a chance... Sure, on the other hand replacing all the electronics would enable me to by a used plain robot, these are cheap, and add the new LinuxCNC controller. If I understand You correctly about purchasing simple robot and putting LinuxCNC on it, I think that looking out for a Kuka or ABB robot with damaged controls also is an option. Indeed that would be difficult, but motion in the Cartesian space (called linear movements in the Kuka Robot control Language (KRL)) would be enough. What about the powerful base coordinate system in KRL? I guess G68 and G92 could be used to partly mimic this feature. But I don't see a way to work in a tool tip coordinate system, neither does G42 provide the possibilities to specify an offset in xyzABC. So this would probably have to be implemented via a custom M command. Sorry, my experience with Kuka control system is limited to 15 minutes of taking a really close look at the arm itself, holding the control pendant in hand, jogging it around a little and asking the owner questions at a rate much faster than he managed to reply. What LinuxCNC would be able to do out of the box is tool radius compensation, though I don't real know how well this is implements for 5 DOF movements. KRL can't do it at all. AFAIK 5 axis tool radius compensation is not available at the moment, and I have no idea what would it take to implement that. I guess that some kind of workaround of doing this in kinematics module might be possible. What I'm mostly interested would be a simple and fast way to control the motion of the robot from an external system by streaming location and orientation data at the speed of the main control loop and/or at the speed of the servo control loop. Almost all or all motion planing an tool path interpolation is than done external only the kinematic would be handled by LinuxCNC. I am curious about the intended application of this concept - feeding the position data from another application, because now it looks like You are going to take out g-code interpreter, trajectory planner and most probably some other modules, like i/o control, as well. What is left is motion controller.

Re: [Emc-users] Help, out of inputs on my parport
Gene, Not sure if you would be interested in the approach I'm using, but it may help you or others who are in a similar predicament. You can use shift registers to add as many additional lines as you want. For example, you can take 3 output lines on your parallel port, and turn them into 8, 16, 24 or more output lines. Shift registers come in two varieties: Serial-In Parallel-Out, which you would use to create more output lines, and Parallel-In Serial-Out which you can use to create more input lines. I wrote a HAL module to implement my setup, which uses 4 pins on the parallel port to create 16 output and 16 input lines. I use these lines for higher-latency signals, since it takes about 1 ms to shift all the bits in and out.

Then resent the money to the supplier, exchanged a few jokes about USPS and shrugged. No demand for payment from customs on this one... yet.
