TCP 5-axis kinematics

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?

> cd linuxcnc-master-branch/src
> sudo make setuid
> source ../scripts/rip-environment
> linuxcnc <full path to you ini file>/<ini-file.ini>

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
> source scripts/rip-environment
> linuxcnc <full path to you ini file>/<ini-file.ini>

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:
