Hey guys You tube links below for those who want to see the videos.
And a very messy GitHub for those who want to see what happens when a classic ladder fan gets into c components https://github.com/linuxcnc8/mazakcnc/tree/main/7i96 First one toolchanger https://youtu.be/-zZ6ByCziJw?si=jVA780LO1ffjSR3o 2nd one pallet changer https://youtu.be/b49M1ny_EFM?si=KiApgLWhonLaOIxh Just want to get back to everyone. And especially Andy about where I got up to on my toolchanger efforts on my big mazak CNC I have found a awesome method I think for controlling more complicated toolchangers that have carousels and extra arms moving etc So I'm using the extra joints patch that was implemented by Dewey Garrett I Believe.(Correct me if I'm wrong) And I'm using a custom component to assign new values to the limit3 component that controls the extra joint motor big thanks to rodw and joco from the forum with the help coding. This means that I have nice acceleration and de Acceleration to keep everything smooth and I can just rotate to the correct degrees or position. This is really nice as it's really easy for debugging. You can just setp the limit3.in pin to whatever value and it moves there. And i put 3 new Chinese servo motors on the toolchanger. This machine has about 18 motors lol to turn on it's crazy. 5axis plus 3 for toolchanger plus spindle Plus 3 conveyors plus 4 coolant pumps and a pallet changer. Anyway it's all coming together soon and I hope to run the new jerk control that Grotius and others are working on. See here if you missed it. It's ready for testing on physical machines I think. https://forum.linuxcnc.org/38-general-linuxcnc-questions/55075-scurve-trajectory-planner Anyway I'll be back in touch soon when I get the rest working Cheers andrew _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
