[Emc-users] error with joint mode

Hello! I am asking this question here for the 3rd time and I hope that finally someone will answer: EMC2 is switching from world mode to joint mode, if I go from manual control tab to MDI tab. I have EMC 2.4.3.1 version on Lucid, and unfortunately I do not know, how exactly I can replicate this

hope this helps thanks Stuart No offence, but it didn't :)) I have joint0 and joint1 explicitly assigned to X axis in my kinematics module. In joint mode each joint (motor) is moved independently, no assignements to any axis are in effect in joint mode. That is why it is called joint mode.

homing has nothing to do with the switching - it was just part of the explanation of what I would do I would not set up the kinematics to drive the second X axis motor. I would set it up to follow the first X axis motor. Then the movement mode would make no difference. On Sat, Sep 4, 2010 at

Ok, now I got it, but I am convinced that it would not work in joint mode anyway. Please correct me, if I am wrong. Each joint is completely independent in joint mode, AFAIK EMC is built so that assignements between joints and axes are ignored in joint mode, so also Your suggestion with use of U

Some further data would be nice: - start emc from a terminal, use some DEBUG (at least that you get the mode change messages), pastebin a change (manual/mdi) when it happens, one when it doesn't - what GUI are you using? Regards, Alex On 9/4/2010 3:01 PM, Viesturs Lācis wrote: Hello! I
