I can't get the hal file right to run a stepper tripod. If someone could
share one that runs on wheezy I would be most appreciative. I was thinking
I could build a 3d printer with this.

That sounds like a fun project.
But I think we will need a bit more information to help. Can I suggest
that we need to know three things to help.

What did you do?
What actually happened?
What did you expect to happen?

I think we can skip the last one, you clearly expected something to
move in XYZ cartesian space in response to your G-code.

I ran sim/tklinuxcnc/tripod.ini on 2.7 and master, and both worked, as 
far as I can tell.

Re: [Emc-users] Tripodkins

2017-07-27 Thread Charles Brauer
I guess what I could do is get on "github" and get the files and compile it
using: ./configure --enable-run-in-place. (I didn't want to do all this
work...) This would hopefully give me the hal files I want. (me wanting the
softer way). This caused me to take a look at Machineket, which I don't
understand, but which interests me especially since somehow buying the
Beaglebone black computer for $35 as a separate piece to run the real time
components. Also since Repetier Server will run across a network this could
be ideal for 3d printers and milling machines too.

And the last question is if I compile this code on my fast computer,
running under VMware Workstation, will I be able to transfer an iso file to
another computer and install it or just use the resultant hal file?

You get something up and running. What works? And what does not work?

normally the first trouble is about your geometry and kins  there are
some different version of kins on web.
The kinematic present in linuxcnc serves to simplify your life, but it is
not said to be the same as another one you might have taken into
consideration.
Fortunately, in the world, things can be done in many different ways

Problem with the kinematics and it will move but not as expected?

Yes, there it is in the config files... there is none for any others. So
what happened to them. No Hexypod. nada.  I could go back, but HAL has
changed and they probably wouldn't run.

We reorganized the layout of the configs with the intent of making them 
easier to find.  I'm sorry you're finding them harder to find instead.


hexapod is in sim/axis/vismach/hexapod-sim.

Old configs (pre-joints/axes, ie 2.7 and older) should be auto-upgraded 
to the new format (the new joints/axes ini format, ie 2.8-pre and newer) 
the first time you try to run them.  If that fails on a particular 
config, please open an issue on github and attach the old config so one 
of us volunteers can fix it for you.

Re: [Emc-users] tripodkins & all the others actually

2017-07-30 Thread Charles Brauer
Well I think you're right "bkt" somehow to simplify the xyz trikins install
process all the other types of real time machines have been removed from
the the compile process. I thought if I just rebuilt linux cnc from scratch
I'd get them, but no... following the directions in "Building LinuxCNC", I
just end up with the same thing! So frustrating because I remember when
these were included! I'm not I very good linux programmer, so I don't know
what to do to make this work. It must be statements in the config file that
tell it not to make real time for what I need?

The good thing is, my reading has discovered this computer called the
"BeagleBone black", which if I could figure out how to use it would be
perfect. Usb ony thu? what do with those?

Anyway would anyone care to share what I need to do to make code in
"linux-dev/src" compile a realtime hal for tripodkins?

I don't understand what you are saying here.

You just need to load a kinematics file other than trivkins. Generally
this is defined in the [KINS]KINEMATICS section of the INI file, but
it can be explicitly loaded in the HAL file.
