5 Axis ParPort Stepper Setup with RTCP

Hello Andypugh,

This modification was really helpful in last machine I made. I'm now trying to achieve similar but Linuxcnc has changed a alot. Also changed a lot in kinematics. I tried to modify kinematics as per this thread but as expected it's failing with errors.

I want to use XZ and B axis with TCP along with tool length probing. Setup in this thread is working in older version.. I'm struggling to getit worli with Debian 13 rt 2.9.8 Any help or suggestions would be appreciated,


Thanks

Build errors? Can you share your current code? Not many people will have the time to read 10 pages of an 8 years old thread...
Be more specific about what you are struggling with.

Pardon my brevity,

Here is detail

I'm trying to compile this kinematics file "5axiskinsN.c" and getting this error

cnc@cnc:~/linuxcnc/configs$ sudo halcompile --install 5axiskinsN.c
Compiling realtime 5axiskinsN.c
Linking 5axiskinsN.so
objdump: section '.rtapi_export' mentioned in a -j option, but not found in any input file
/usr/bin/ld:5axiskinsN.ver:2: syntax error in VERSION script
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [/usr/share/linuxcnc/Makefile.modinc:124: 5axiskinsN.so] Error 1



 

Ok, I found my one mistake. i was trying to compile "5axiskin.c" but it didnt work so after reading more, I found there is "userkins.comp" file need to be compiled. so i edited file as per attachment and getting error as per screenshot.


 

1. As you have already found out 'halcompile' will not work with all .c files. A 'run-in-place' (RIP) installation would be required here.
2. .comp files have their own syntax, so you cannot simply copy-paste the code from a .c file into a .comp file.

Hello Aceiera,

Can you help modifying this Kinematics which I can compile as .comp file, I'm Total noob to understand RIP installation.

Any documentation or guide, for RIP in 2.9.8.


Thanks in advance
