TCP 5-axis kinematics

You could but the idea is to get the master branch with the switchkins code, hence no point.

You would now need to apply the changes of switchkins to the master branch code.

when done, just go back to ~/linuxcnc-master-branch/src and issue "make -j2".

"-j2" is just to speed it up ....

Back when I compiled Android I always did - j16.
They said use double your CPU cores

I have only two cores on the linuxcnc machine yeah one can try between number of cores and the double of that value. Any number bigger that one is an improvement

okay thank you plopes, it seems to have worked, i have manually added the code to the files in linuxcnc-master-branch and re ran make -j2 but when i start linuxcnc and manually call g12.1 p0 it still says unknown gcode

did you run it like below?

that worked (somehow 2.9 starts), but i need to do this every time because if i just start using the desktop icon it starts 2.8 and doesnt recognize the new g12 command. If i start with the terminal i can switch kinematics and start the g12.ngc program but if i go into mdi and enter for example g0 x0 sometimes it says "linear move on line 2 would exceed B`s positive limit" and "invalid param in linear command". Somehow sometimes if i enter g0 a0 it stays at 90 degrees. i need to test this more and then i can say what is really wrong or what i think is wrong.

thank you so far for your help

Yes you always need to make as below - simplified version.

You can put those in a shell script and call it from a desktop link. Not exactly sure how to do the desktop link but I’m sure mr google knows

cd linuxcnc-master-branch

Assuming that you applied the changes without mistakes, if things don’t seam to work as expected, assume that either your configuration is incorrect or you are misunderstanding the correct behavior - I say this because the code does work, as I have tested it many times - I mean the switchkins code.

Open the desktop icon with a text editor, and edit the command.

I have on that looks like this:

thanks that worked,

maybe you could upload your changed files so i can exchange them? In some of the files the changes differed in some lines for example there was a change in line 544 but in my file the changed code was on line 567 (just some imaginary numbers).

Check out the patch file I uploaded on page 18. It shows the changes I made against the master branch.
