about the machine limit lines was created by dab77
Hi.
Into the axis drawing, the red-dotted lines show the machine limits 'box'.
I guess these dimensions are taken from the .ini file, under axis (joints) sections.

i'm using JA3 branch, but before thinking of a related to JA3 issue, i wanted to ask if the same issue is present also in L.CNC 2.4 or 2.5, with non trivial kinematics.

my issue is:
-My machine have non-trivial kins.
-My home positions are offset because of my home needs.
-Whatever g-code movement of my machine is outside the machine limits. the same visually, into the axis window.
-But when i Manual-Jog Axes limits are perfectly respected.

I remember i had this issue also using what was EMC 2.4.3 or .6 , but confirmation are welcome.

Is there anyway of modifying this?

the 'room' is (mm) X=2800, Y=2000, Z=2450 , and left-bottom corner is 0,0,0.

but the offset put the 0,0,0 position at the middle of the floor.

limits are set at 200mm from each wall, 0 from floor and 250mm from top.

I really don't understand which dimension is the red-dotted-box.

Davide.

It is possible that Axis simply plots the joint limits as spatial limits, without going through the kins to convert to world space.
I have tried looking through the code, but it isn't easy for me to follow.

can you tell me which file is involved?

I think it is all of them. It looks like it anyway.

I guess the actual lines are drawn in glcanon.py

Ok, thanks.

By the way, another Axis question.. it's a lot since i wanted to ask, but it's a minor issue:
I'm in 'Teleop mode', then I click the MDI window (or click f5).
Then if i go back into the manual tab (or click f3) the system change to 'Joint mode'.
What if i want it to stay into 'Teleop mode'?

I have tried looking through the code, but it isn't easy for me to follow.

in fact, into glcanon.py, at line 698:
def soft_limits(self):
        def fudge(x):
            if abs(x) > 1e30: return 0
            return x

        ax = self.stat.joint
        return (
            self.to_internal_units([fudge(ax[i]['min_position_limit'])
                for i in range(3)]),
            self.to_internal_units([fudge(ax[i]['max_position_limit'])
                for i in range(3)]))
but i can't follow where that 'joint' is taken.
into the ' class GlCanonDraw ' , there's the init with:
def __init__(self, s, lp, g=None):
self.stat = s
but, who calls GlCanonDraw?

For how my machine is done, it would work to just change 'joint' with 'axis' into that, but i don't know where that 'joint' is taken!
can you again help me, please?

axis.py, i think. It's all a bit tangled.

mmm..
i tried, but i think it's too much for me.

i'm going to ask the question into the dev-list.
thank you Andy.
