It sounds like your job can be done with trivial kinematics. Complex kinematics on cartesian machines is only generally needed for TCP code. (TCP means that the G-code references XYZ positions and BC angles in the _workpiece_ coordinate system rather than in the machine coordinates. There are examples on YouTube if you search for "LinuxCNC TCP") -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
