Would You like trying to assign 2 joints to 1 axis the hardcore way right in kinematics module? I start thinking that there is only one way to find out, if changing kinematics module will help. To do so, You will need: 1) linuxcnc-dev package installed; 2) install git packages and get source code; see first 2 commands here: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Installing_EMC2#Getting_the_source_with_git I would suggest replacing emc2 with linuxcnc for the second command; 3) in the folder with source code: go to ~/src/emc/kinematics/ open trivkins.c and save with name of Your choice (afterwards I will assume it to be called mykins.c, update the commands in steps 4 and 5 to reflect the actual name); 4) now edit that file to assign joint[3] to X for that You will need to "free" joint[3] from A axis, so remove this line: pos->a = joints[3]; and assign it to X by changing this line: joints[3] = pos->a; to this one: joints[3] = pos->tran.x; 5) replace "trivkins" with "mykins" in both places - first line and 9th line from bottom, otherwise next step will cause errors; 6) install the new kinematics module by running in terminal: cd linuxcnc-dev/src/emc/kinematics sudo comp --install mykins.c 7) adjust HAL file to load the new kinematics module; -- Viesturs If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
