In theory LinuxCNC supports almost any kinematics, but some need more work than others, up to and including writing a kinematics routine. There is a new "lineardeltakins" in one of the experimental branches of LinuxCNC, but it does not appear to be scheduled for the 2.6 release. (this doesn't mean that you couldn't choose to use it with any of the other versions) The standard kinematics modules are here: http://git.linuxcnc.org/gitweb?p=linuxcnc.git;a=tree;f=src/emc/kinematics;h=4469319c89b54dc476806c9b91a2d423c6dc8a7b;hb=refs/heads/2.6 It is conceivable that "genhexkins" is general enough to be configured for a delta robot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2STkBhUiKwg Shows that not only is it possible, but that it has been done. Armed with that knowledge googling for "deltakins" leads to: http://kvarc.extra.hu/step/motor/emc/emckinematics.html -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
