It definitely helped! I now understand what it is clearly.
I will be happy to use RTCP but I don't know how hard it is to configure in comparison to configuring the machine without RTCP.

Hi Andy!
After our discussion about this 5 axis machine, I bought a PC and installed LinuxCNC 2.9.0-pre0. Everything is running fine.
I also bought a Mesa 7i76E card, arriving soon.
I already own 3 different 3 axis router that run Mach3, so I will be able to test my config on one of them.
I came this far and now I want to modify existing kins modules to fit my needs. Unfortunately I am not a programmer and I think I need to learn how to chance existing files. I am learning to code in Python on YouTube right now.
What advice would you give me going forward?

Watch my 7i76e video
There is also one by the feral engineer you should find.
Feedback is you should watch both as they have a different focus.

I think that Maxkins will actually work for you without major modifications.I came this far and now I want to modify existing kins modules to fit my needs.

How do I modify? If there are pdf's available I would like to read.

It might not need any modifications. Though I suspect that the axis home positions will need to be set up carefully to align with the rotation centres.
maxkins does not seem to have any inputs for rotational axis offsets other than "pivot-length" which I believe would be set up in the tool table and linked directly in HAL (as in the demo config)
Have you tried the demo config?

I am new to Linuxcnc and it is hard for me to understand what you mean.
I opened up Max5kins, looked at it's hal file but I dont really get it.

Having looked a bit more carefully, I am a little confused myself...
In the INI we have:
And in the HAL:
So pivot-length = 0.
So, what actually happens, is that the tool table contains a "W" length entry for each tool, and the max5kins uses that in the calculations.
But that idea is not supported by an inspection of the max5 demo tooltable.
I feel sure that experimentation with the demo config and virtual machine tool will make it all clearer.
In the INI we have:
[MAX]
# distance from the end of the "reference tool" (tool-length - 0) to the
# center of the head tilt axis
B_PIVOT_LENGTH = 0And in the HAL:
# kins needs this value
setp maxkins.pivot-length [MAX]B_PIVOT_LENGTHSo pivot-length = 0.
So, what actually happens, is that the tool table contains a "W" length entry for each tool, and the max5kins uses that in the calculations.
// B correction
double zb = (*(haldata->pivot_length) + joints[8]) * cos(d2r(joints[4]));
double xb = (*(haldata->pivot_length) + joints[8]) * sin(d2r(joints[4]));But that idea is not supported by an inspection of the max5 demo tooltable.

i have tried kinematics and vismach simulation like that. But I haven't tried this to be a real machine
