Bipod setup was created by dab77
Hallo everyone,
I'm trying to setup an inverted bipod, for studying purpose.
looked around for a lot, but still I didn't get to the point.
I'm trying to modify the file tripodkins.c to have my_bipod.c to compile, but I'm not sure if what I changed is ok.

I've read about in later versions of EMC2 there was a bipod.c already in ..src/emc/kinematics, but now there's not anymore.

do someone have this file to give me, or can tell me where to find it? ..so i can compare and find out any error.

thanks, dab.

you may want to look here for a bipod example:

Hi step4linux, and thank you for replying.
in a lot of thread there is a suggestion to read that link, so i found it and read it already many times, and if also i found it very interesting, it doesn't help much, because doesn't tell you how to write the .c kins.

I did modify the file trivkins.cand compiled in this way:
********************************************************************/

    double AD2 = joints[0] * joints[0];
    double BD2 = joints[1] * joints[1];
    double x = (AD2 - BD2 + Bx * Bx) / (2 * Bx);
    double y2 = AD2 - x * x;

hi dab,

I did a dualbipod, and started like you did with trivkins.
You can find it here code.google.com/p/emc2hotwinch/ .

From your code two things I see:

1. You must insert the name of your own kinematics here, instead of trivkins:
comp_id = hal_init("trivkins");
EDIT: okay I have seen you still use the the name trivkins for your own kinematics

2. you should leave all the simple equations in the code, like
joints[2] = pos.tran->z
etc
pos.tran->z = joints[2]
etc
for all joints and all axis.
EDIT: of course except for those you have your own equation.

any other idea?

Have you checked that the forward and inverse kinematics are exactly equivalent? If you run one then the other, you should end up where you started from. Excel can be useful for checking these things.

I am not sure overwriting trivkins was a great plan.

You probably should use comp --install rather than --compile.

agree to andypugh, do not overwrite trivkins, create another kinematics with different name.
I think you can compile with --compile, and then install it manually with something like
sudo cp dualbipod.ko /usr/realtime-2.6.24-16-rtai/modules/emc2/
(adjust names according your system)

@step4linux:
yes, that's exactly how i'm compiling till now.
and ok, i'm going to change the name of the module, promise..

@andypugh:
what do you mean for "exactly equivalent?"

the formulas i've wrote are perfectly the same that you find on the kinematics documentation
linuxcnc.org/docs/html/motion_kinematics.html . I just copied the kins formulas to 'evaluate' the bipod functionality, but it doesn't work.:dry:

can be maybe 'cause I have EMC2 (2.4.3) installed natively with the UBU8.04_emc2, ant then I downloaded the src packet to take the kins*.c to modify?

Help!!

I mean "Is one the exact inverse of the other for all input values?"
Apologies for being too lazy to go through your code, but one possibility is that the equations break down for negative values.

That shouldn't matter. You might need to sudo comp --install, but I think you are probably already doing that.
