Hello to all,

I need your help.

I have a 5 DOF robotic arm and I am having problems with the axis in the GUI. Even though I have 5 rotary axes, the Preview shows me 5 linear axes.

I tried swapping the order of the axes in the GEOMETRY section of the HAL file like:

" GEOMETRY = ABXYZ " instead of "GEOMETRY = XYZAB"
but nothing done.

Any suggestions?

Please, write soon!

Not exactly sure what you expect to see but as far as I know XYZ will always be displayed as linear and ABC as rotary.
Can you post a screen shot?

My aim is to have the right trajectory of the end effector along the way. However, what I see is just linear motion.

I would like to get a preview like the one in this video:


I'm not in the lab now so I can attach the screenshot, I'll do it as soon as possible.

Are you aware that you need a kinematic file to translate your joint position to cartesian coordinates?

Yes, in fact when I run the g-code, the robot moves correctly. The problem is that the actual trajectory of the final effector doesn't match what I see in the preview.

Is this a vismach visualization or just the trajectory preview in AXIS?

It is just the trajectory preview in AXIS.

Any ideas?

So a rotation of A gives you a linear translation in the preview and if so in which direction?
Can you post your ini and hal?

In the ini file, "display" section there is the below entry:
GEOMETRY = xyz
Try changing that.

This is what I have in the ini file, display section.


Where should I add "geometry"?
