You can copy and paste from the terminal window, which is a bit easier than attaching screen shots.


As you have noticed, max5kins might actually work perfectly for you. I think that it is approximately identical but with a different pivot length.
try "maxkins" in your HAL file and see if that works.

As for 5axiskins:

It looks like you just deleted the references to C and joint 5. You can't do that, you needed to replace them with 0 so that the s2r function has the right number of arguments.

First, go back to the original 5axiskins and see if that works. If it does, then you can change things. But try maxkins first.

i tried maxkins. it has connection with C axis and Tool tip, i mean i am again at the start point if i need to change from C to B and i have machine with Moving head, so its bit of pain .. i realized now ... btw i changed when you were typing reply. and checked, but found one weird error when was MDi B axis = "linear move on line0 would exceed joint 2's positive limit"

any clues ?

Ah, yes, I forgot it has a Y axis that you don't have.

Line 0 just means MDI. It probably means that there is something wrong with the kinematics calculations to that it returns a very large number for the Z correction.

many times i saw error that Must be in MDI mode to issue MDI command what is that ??? when i am already in MDI ?? then i need to restart EMC
