[Emc-users] AXIS GUI and jog speed

2007-09-19 Thread Aitor Plaza
Hello! As you know, we are developing a six linear axis parallel manipulator. The kinematic is done and it works OK. We are using AXIS GUI and we have a problem. When we are using Manual Control there are two possibilities, joint mode or world mode to move the machine. The interface shows the

This is a baffling error message, can anyone explain what's going on? I keep getting this error for line 7. The g-code: % g0 g21 g40 g90 x0 y0 z0 (lower drill) g1 z-9 f12 x25.4 y3 g17 g2 x25.4 y-3 i0 j-3 x-25.4 (raise drill) z0 g0 x0 y0 z0 % I'm using the EMC frontend 'mini' that comes with the

Are there more than one possible solution to the kinematics equations you are using here. I remember years ago when KT showed a Hexapod at IMTS. Every so often the control would pick the wrong solution and rip the ballscrew out of a nut. I know that the NIST Hexapod software picked the
