Trilateration function compatible with LinuxCNC

Hi community,

After successfully implementation in ASEA 5 DOF robot with LinuxCNC, It is necessary to translate Matlab function (trilateration.m) to LinuxCNC compatible function kinematics (*.cpp/*.c). The idea is use in delta robot to additive manufacturing concept.

I am attaching *.m file if someone has LinuxCNC compatible file to implement delta kinematics robot (inverse and forward) into linuxcnc controller.



Attached file is in *.c because forum allowed extension doesn't have compatibility with *.m files.

Regards.

I don't know if many people will be able to use a Matlab file. Do you know if the same code works with Octave?

Would you like to translate it yourself? I have a current kinematics file set up for a tetrapod. It's not been thoroughly tested yet (just simulated with machvis.py) and is a bit different from a delta config. But if you need an example I would be happy to share.

Hi Andy,

I have new delta kinematics function in Matlab, but I will use LinuxCNC because is an Manufacturing Application (step-nc additive manufacturing).

Therefore I need to translate Matlab code to C/C++ (linuxcnc compatible) functions. One of that function is Trilateration, used in forward kinematics.

Matlab has tool code translation but I don't know if It can affect some delta kinematics variables.

What is Octave?

I appreciate community help.

Regards.

Do you have a working step-nc interpreter for LinuxCNC?

I am not sure what you are asking here. Is there any reason to believe that the Matlab-generated C-code will work better than the already-included delta kinematics modules? lineardetakins has a manual page here: linuxcnc.org/docs/ja/html/man/man9/lineardeltakins.9.html
I can't find a manual page for rotarydeltakins, but it exists (it is mentioned here: linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/man/man9/kins.9.html ) , the sourcecode is here: github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/tree/master/src/emc/kinematics

What is Octave? .

Octave is a Matlab-compatible programming language which is open-source and free.
www.gnu.org/software/octave/
Google searching turns up trilateration code described as Matlab/Octave.

Hi Andy,

I still do not have it, but there are several research groups working to development.

I am not sure what you are asking here. Is there any reason to believe that the Matlab-generated C-code will work better than the already-included delta kinematics modules? lineardetakins has a manual page here:

I am testing with lineardeltakins file and our delta robot parameters. Does LinuxCNC version has a vismach simulation? We are doing a delta configuration one to test with LinuxCNC in offline and online mode.

When we have more results I will show to LinuxCNC community. We are using LinuxCNC do read G-code program generated with step-nc postprocessor.

Regards.
