Re: [Emc-users] Minimum hardware?

I'll be sure and do that, thanks. Raymond Julian Kettle River, MN The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism

[Emc-users] off topic free mechanical movement software simulation

Hi All I have been playing with the idea of building a hexapod or Stuart platform mill with linuxcnc for the control system. What I need help with at this stage is the design of the joints and length of the struts. I have a few designs in my head and sketched out on paper and am

Re: [Emc-users] off topic free mechanical movement software simulation

Linden, Onshape (a web-based CAD tool) will let you link struts together and simulate movement. It's not able to script movement yet, but pushing struts around with the mouse will reveal your rough estimate of work envelope faster than a physical model. It's also pretty easy to learn - they

Re: [Emc-users] off topic free mechanical movement software simulation

Linden, I'd probably start with Matlab or the open source version, Octave, to work out the kinematics. These numerical packages have some pretty powerful plotting and visualization tools that can be driven by numerical functions of your choosing. Once you work out the basic geometry l'd

Re: [Emc-users] off topic free mechanical movement software simulation

@ Gregg drinking straws and pins seem to get a lot of use around here ;-) along with the cardboard I have modelled a lot of the parts in freecad already Just having issues with the assembly and animation apart from that it is wonderful and evolving so quickly if things keep up at the current

If you can find the Synaptic Package Manager go to Settings > Repositories on the Update tab and change Notify me of a new Ubuntu version: to Never and you won't have to worry about accidentally updating the kernel. JT On 10/23/2015 9:52 PM, rayj wrote: > I installed the latest Debain/LCNC on
