There is nothing wrong with this, except that it ain't so. --Mark Twain Karl, The the tach on the end of the motor feeds back to the amps. These are the original SCR amps. I am working to replace them with amps that need no feedback from the motors. The encoders on the motors feed back to EMC. The tuning is a combination of the tuning in the SCR amps (have done no tuning on the amps) and EMC's pid. EMC is able to tune the motion nicely. This is limited by the SCR amps but works pretty good.

I know you posted this to illustrate the problems you are working with, but it is a GREAT demonstration of what kinematics are about, even if you are not running a hexapod! Thanks.

Stuart - That is just awesome. I wish I had toys like that :D (Even with the investment that would obviously be aimed at making money from it's use, the conversion would be really really fun! Therefore to me it's a toy ;) I posted a link to that video on my website - hope you don't mind :) It fits nicely with the link to my EMC2 simple stepper setup tutorial to encourage newcomers.

Karl Schmidt wrote: What interfaces are you using? Are the PID loops within EMC2? Well, not to answer for Stuart, but the interfaces are the Pico Systems PPMC board set, which is a modular set of boards that plug into a motherboard. There is a 4-axis encoder counter, 4-axis 16-bit DAC and a digital I/O card with 17 inputs and 8 SSR outputs. Up to 8 boards fit into the motherboard, which can be daisy-chained together. This all connects to the PC through one parallel port. All the boards are connected together for simultaneous position sampling, DAC update and E-stop.
