I have pushed an update with a custom user button.
The command required for the button is "toggle-joint" or you can use the keyboard "j" key if keyboard shortcuts are enabled.

I agree with the custom user button. I will test today thanks.
There might still be an issue with the coordinates not getting read from the INI file but I will test that gain today as well.

@Phill, so the coordinates is still an issue. This is in the INI file but it does not see the abc axis.
The error again
[KINS]
JOINTS = 6
KINEMATICS = XYZABCtrsr
COORDINATES = XYZABCThe error again

It is usually done in this format, which is what we look for:orI would imagine that you would just change "trivkins" to your "XYZABCtrsr" but that is only a guess as I have never used anything but trivkins.
KINEMATICS = trivkins coordinates=xyzabcKINEMATICS = trivkins coordinates=xyzabc kinstype=bothPlease Log in or Create an account to join the conversation.

Not all kinematics modules will except the parameters. Ours doesn't but that could be non compliant to some requirements that are unknown at this time.
We might also have an issue with switching to joint mode and jogging while our kinematics module is not typed.
We are busy looking into that as well.
Otherwise, the simulations and running on QTPlasma is looking good so far. I don't have the hardware finished yet but it is looking good at the moment.
The current setup has the tube cutter situated at the home position and the plate cutting area next to that. I will add a button to switch modes between the two.

I guess we could first test for trivkins and if that is not specified then use [KINS]COORDINATES to get the joints to axes mapping.

We have to get our kinematics module to be compliant with switchkins requirements. We will have to be able to switch properly anyway if we want to be able to jog in joint mode. We are working on that now.

@Phill, we have the kinematics working with switchkins. I used two custom buttons to run the M codes to do the switch. I would like to have a fixed button that will allow me to switch kins and show on the button text what kins are being used.
The joint button should also work in that way.
If you give me some direction I will attempt to do the coding but I will most likely bug you a lot.
You are welcome to PM me if we need to talk about it.
