I was able to build the CVS trunk version of EMC as you suggested, after
installing a few missing ubuntu development tools. The EMC trunk demo of
the PUMA robot starts up, and displays a static image of the PUMA in a
TK window. The puma.ini file is looking for 
gamepad.hal 
which I can't find in the EMC trunk components. Commenting that line out
does not help. What is in gamepad.hal?

[Emc-users] PUMA reverse kinematics

2007-08-03 Thread christopherpurcell
I have a prototype puma robot in my living room, mostly to amaze
visiting teenagers who think they have seen it all. It makes scary
noises and moves nicely with EMC2 but now I am ready for some PUMA
reverse kinematics so I can put this work. Has anyone done this already?
The EMC2 docs mention PUMA robots but I have not found any
ready to use examples of configuration files. The PUMA
OPENGL simulation from
http://jmkasunich.dyndns.org/cgi-bin/blosxom/software/simulated-machine-02-04-07.html
is mesmerizing but it seems to have just the forward kinematics in its
code.
