That shows how to use a kinematics module (gantrykins) to map two "joints" to one "axis". Things are rather confused by the fact that EMC2 used "axis" to mean "joint" for a long time. The gantrykins module lets you map 2 (or more) motor/joints to one axis. Rather neatly, once you have such a setup configured then Axis lets you toggle between "Joint" mode where you can home and jog each motor individually, and "axis" view where they move together. Bear in mind that I have only fiddled with this out of curiosity, and so I am not sure of the details of configuration. Also any section of the HAL file can use data from any section off the INI file, you can say axis.0.maxvel = [AXIS_3]maxvel in the HAL file if you want to (or need to). However I think that some other aspects have a direct link to the INI file (homing sequence, for example). I would suggest uncoupling one or both motors when testing. http://www.linuxcnc.org/docview/devel/html//man/man9/gantrykins.9.html -- atp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
