Re: [Emc-users] Servo motor watts VS torque?

An important spec to look for in any motor is the stall torque to give an idea of its ability to move a dead load like a machine table that also has stiction (stationary friction) and any other load on the table to overcome. Note power is the product of torque and rpm the formulas are on http://ww

>From what I have been told, the Amps is the 'power', but more volts is the 'speed' and responsiveness component. Watts is Volts times Amps, and is defined as 'power'. The 'torque' would be more the 'amps' than power, but obviously they are related. Does that help? --

A simple aproach may be to change the kinematics code so that you add Z0 to the value you compute now for Z in the direct ( world coord obtained from joint coord) model, and substract the same Z0 to J1 J2 J3 (joint coordinates) in the inverse (joint coordinates from world coordinates) model. I ca

Axis does run on the BBB (I use it all the time). Unless you're running a board that conflicts with HDMI, I would recommend directly connecting a monitor. I haven't used vnc on the BBB, but my hunch is that it is rendering in such a way that the tight VNC version of an X display doesn't like. I

Change tour model so it can have an offset for the joint coordinates. Then give an arbitrary value to your offset so that z gets a value inside the working limits. I think this will work. If after this you get a following error, ask again :). Javier El 03/09/2013 23:09, "Charles Steinkuehler" es
