I'm working on some 4+ axis CAM that if the machine and the work holding
devices are included the physics engine will check for collisions to
prevent crashes.

Hi everyone. I'm new to LinuxCNC but I'm an engineer with a background in
software and cnc machining so I'm hoping I'll learn quickly.
I'm interested in setting up LinuxCNC to run a robot arm. From what I can
tell, the wise approach is to follow this guide
<http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/motion/dh-parameters.html> to setting up
my modified DH parameters, and to use this guide
<http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/gui/vismach.html> to setting up a visual
representation of the arm - either by importing STL files or by drawing
graphics primitives.
My first question: am I heading down a wise path or are there other
better options that I'm unaware of?
My second question: Can LinuxCNC prevent the robot arm from crashing into
itself, and if so how does it know when a crash would occur? Does it use
the geometry of each link that I provide in vismach?
many thanks for any tips and advice,
Ian
