[Emc-users] non-trivial kinematics

2014-02-12 Thread Josiah Morgan
All, I have a project coming up in which I would like to use linuxcnc to control placement and angle of a robot arm. the kinematics for this would need to be customized for the specific situation. I was wondering if anyone could share an example of a fairly simple kinematics .h RT file as well as

thanks for the reply. that's what I intend to do. another user sent me the link to a linuxcnc.orgforum post that had a pdf with an example c file. it seems fairly straight forward and my inclination is that it would be simpler to just create my own kinematics functions rather than try to figure

I created and installed a new kinematic obtained from scarakins.c.The changes relate only to joint [3] which becomes: world-c = joint[3] in kinematicsForward and joint[3] = world-c in kinematicsInverse.I get the following messages from the compiler:be...@nec:~$ sudo comp --install
