Alex, Your code has successfully driven my (not simulated) Puma560, I'm having problems with the speed/accel. limitations (as they are axis limits, not joint limits) The only solution I have a.t.m. is to reduce the overall speed so no joint limits are reached (works if no singularities come to close) Regards, Jan On Fri, Jul 23, 2010 at 19:04, Alex Joni alex.j...@robcon.ro wrote: This is easily handled by genserkins. genserkins = general serial kinematics (e.g. kins where each joint is serially connected to the previous one).

Re: [Emc-users] Robot Kinematics
Dan, the kinematics of this robot type is quite trivial to solve, this image should help in figuring it out: http://imagebin.org/33869 The trick is in using substitution (ZR-plane) and putting the center of the world coordinate system in the rotation centers of the first and second joints. Kinematics help: http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/motion_kinematics.html Example kinematic files can be found in the repository: (includes a PUMA robot) http://cvs.linuxcnc.org/cvs/emc2/src/emc/kinematics/ Some dimensions of the teachmover: http://www.questechzone.com/images/tmspecs.gif I should have the direct and inverse kinematic solution for that robot type somewhere, but it might be faster if you figure it out yourself.

[Emc-users] Stepper - Following Error
Hi, I'm building a stepper configuration from 2 old floppy stepper motors, and use quadrature signals to control them. For the hal-configuration I started with the stepper_mm config and modified it to output quadrature signals. the steppers move when a jog in Axis, without following errors (even at maximum jog speed), but when I try a coordinated move (g0, g1) I get following errors... I did read http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Following_Error and tried to change BASE_PERIOD, MAX_VELOCITY and MAX_ACCELERATION with no effects (except for additional realtime errors when changing base_period) How do I get rid of these errors? Is there anything else that has to be changed when using quadrature instead of step/dir signals? Thanks, Jan - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
