On the IRC Chris Radek suggested there was no advantage to using Gantrykins
and that it may have some problems and so I changed things to Trivkins.
Did he explain and give some arguments? Gantrykins worked just fine
for me and other users are using it
Chris,
was this a genuine posting or your personal spambot??

Not finding any other way to upload the XYZACkins that I recently developed,
I added a small description to the Wiki under HAL user contributed
components: Kinematics. A link to a tar.gz file is given which contains the
kinematics code as well as the ini and hal files, a vismach simulation model

Comments will be appreciated once you have tried it out. The remaining
problem I have is the homing and setup to start a job. I am still working on
a solution.
What is wrong with homing?

Thanks for the sample! It really seems doable. But I do have few

I did home all (3) joints, how do I home the 4th - or am I missing something
more basic?
Just the same way as You home all the remaining joints. I do not
understand, where is the problem.

In Axis I only see joints 1,2,3 (but not 4) as a radio button. I select 1
and click Home. I select 2 and click Home, etc.
How do I select joint 4, it is not there?
And what about joint 0?
How many joints You have specified in INI file? In [TRAJ]
Saying that they are reluctant to use cnc control software, which is
considered to be a hobby level
solution, is saying just a little.
I replaced an Allen Bradley Series 9 CNC control with EMC2 on a commercial
waterjet machine made by Jet Edge last year. The customer thought that they

Try changing the second Y to A, it does not like the same letter twice.
COORDINATES = X Y Z A
You will have x, y, z and a axes in Axis gui, but do not worry - if
You have done kinematics.hal file correctly, then A commands in g-code
will do nothing.

The system is very reliable.
Properly applied, EMC2 is extremely reliable and capable.
That is what I believe in and what I have seen so far on my machine.
But I have yet to prove it to convince others. Especially, if I am
facing resistance from their current
I think that V would offer a better choice, often when creating G-code for a
rotary device, your CAM package will default to A for the rotary axis.

I work with PLCs daily. They are a different animal entirely. Most of
the EMC2 implementations I have done on custom machines have included a
PLC simply because they have been I/O intensive machines.
There is no reason why you cannot use them together.
The PLC vs PC reliability argument still
Hello all,
I have been searching the documentation and HAL User Manual but have not
found a simple overview of what POSIX/realtime API's are required if
porting EMC2 to another RT kernel. Could someone please summarize the
the requirements?
Thanks,

Yup, I have a number of CNC control interfaces in commercial shops all
over the world,
and they are well-liked by their users (nearly all EMC2-based).

RTAPI is the name of the real-time portability APIs in emc.
Currently, we provide two implementations of RTAPI that are known to
work: RTAI's kernel-moade interface (the one everyone uses when actually
controlling hardware) and sim (based on gnu pth for threading
primitives, no realtime
