Andy, Maybe you could use this geometry: http://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S0890695501000451-gr1.jpg This results in different possible tool shapes: http://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S0890695501000451-gr2.gif from: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S08906955010

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 clos

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. Kinema

Eduardo, If it's a on board parallel port, try changing the parallel port mode in your BIOS (spp/epp/epc/...) Pin 14 and 16 are connected to the parallel port's control register, in some modes this register uses 3V signals instead of 5V. I had a similar problem and solved it by using epp instead
