I will be testing the first iteration of the new six axis kinematics for this project today. I will give feedback once I have some results.

That is why we are looking at using a 5/6 axis kinematics and not the trivkins.
It will be interesting to see how that works out with the motion planner falling back to one line look ahead.
I have been wondering about this too. Recent tests with just 1 rotary axis made it unusable due to the 1 line look ahead.

@Phill
I did a pull and it says that my branch is up to date with remote. Got this error.

That was one of the errors I mentioned earlier, have you pulled since my last update?

Just noticed that I am not in sync. I am having issues with connecting to github.That was one of the errors I mentioned earlier, have you pulled since my last update?

I am up to speed now so I can test. Thanks a lot.

Sound interesting though so please do report back.

I don't quite see how that would make a difference as the interpreter is totally ignorant of any custom kinematic. So in a way all it 'knows' is trivkins and the moment it sees a move containing anything other than X,Y,Z it falls back to one line look ahead.That is why we are looking at using a 5/6 axis kinematics and not the trivkins.
Sound interesting though so please do report back.

@Phill, I am busy with the integration of kinematics test config and your 6 axis config into a real machine config. I get this error that does not really show what it is wanting from me.

@Phill, I tried to see the problem. I am sure something is wrong with the code that sets up the axis and kinematics. I am not using trivkins but a 6 axis kinematics. It seems that some stuff is coded for trivkins. I am not up to speed with python any more so I am not sure what to do there. I did change the code to add axis abc and then it loads but I am not sure if everything is going to work.
def set_axes_and_joints(self):
kinematics = self.iniFile.find('KINS', 'KINEMATICS').lower().replace('=','').replace('trivkins','').replace(' ','') or None
#kinstype = None
self.coordinates = 'xyzabc' !!!!!! here I just added the "abc"Regards

self.coordinates = 'xyz' is just a default minimum fallback in case the coordinates are not specified in the [KINS] section of the INI file.
Did you have something like:
Maybe add a print statement immediately before line 3038: for axis in 'abc':to ensure that all axes appear in coordinates.
