Scara tutorial was created by DocStein99
I've built many machines using LinuxCnc as a standard x,y,z table and like it very much. I found a video someone used LinuxCnc to drive a SCARA style system, where it was simply two motors clamped to a couple of brackets. Impressively simple design!

I would like to make one, but I'm having trouble getting started. Does anyone have links or a tutorial for the Scara style? I went through the wiki a couple of times and got some vague information. I might have missed something, but I was kind of looking for a start-up setup example or something I can use to work off of.

The Wiki might not be the best place to start.
You probably want to use scarakins:
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/man/man9/kins.9.html
There is a sample config to study, with a 3D model of the robot
pick sim/axis/vismach/scara/scara.ini in the config picker to see it in action.
