i Lcvette,
Yes, will check the mm to inches.
To test the scurve motion planner in linuxcnc i added a new repository , based on lcnc stable version 2.9.3.
Inside the repository we have the cmake framework to build one the current motion planner "tpmod" and
two a motion planner called "tpmod_scurve".
Conclusion: very compact code enviroment to test scurve motion planner.
Now to make the new motion planner work in linuxcnc, we have to add some logic because the new planner works a little
different then the current motion planner.
Main differences :
1. New motion planner loads gcode itself. Old motion planner, recieves gcode in chunks over the servo cycle.
2. New motion planner calculates "look ahead" before gcode execution, Old motion planner does this at runtime.
Possible difficulties:
1. New motion planner loads gcode itself, this can take a few seconds for big files. This could result in creating a multi-threading process.
2. The clothoid & spline fillets are not shown by lcnc gremlin on forehand. Validation and debugging is more difficult.
Next week i will add the code to make this work.

So having cloned your repository, is there a way for me to compile 'tpmod_scurve'?

Hi Arciera,
cd ~/linuxcnc-2.9.3/cmake/build
remove all items in this build dir.
cmake ..
make -j6
make install
This will compile tpmod & tpmod_scurve and install them in the ~/rtlib.
For now the tpmod_scurve is a duplicate of tpmod, as the code for the scurve has to
be integrated next week. But nevertheless you can test the build and test if it loads in lcnc.

While the build seems to be working:

caused the startup process of Linuxcnc to fail and hang:
Note the 'libnml/buffer/shmem.cc 320:' warnings are probably unrelated.

Ok disregard the above.
There is a component name mismatch as 'tpmod_scurve' currently builds from the 'tpmod.c' file.
I copied 'tpmod.c' and changed the component name in the code, then changed the Cmakefile for tpmod_scurve to point it to the modified file and now it loads.

awesome!! just let me know if you need anything from me, im willing to test things is need be on my end! we are using VTK for the QtPyVCP gui backplotter so if you need any testing with that as well or way to figure how to draw updated plots we could have a look at that. although i assume you are trying to solve how to feed the planners modifie gcode out instead of the file gcode.i Lcvette,

Hi Grotius,
Kudos on the terrific progress on jerk limited multiaxis look-ahead planner.
Is there anything we can help with in porting the development to Linuxcnc?
My feeling is that we may want to break up the planner into 2 parts, i.e., RT and non-RT parts.
The geometry / path modification i.e. clothoid fillets, spline conversions etc, can take place in non-rt whereas the actual trajectory planning can be kept inside RT.
My feeling is that the heavy computational burden is in the path modification rather than the look ahead planner. The heavy computational parts can be handled in the non-rt section where loop time deadlines are not a critical consideration.
For this we will have to introduce a layer in milltask that will keep a queue for the readahead from the Gcode file and optimize the path.
I am guessing there will be 2 types of path modification constraints:
1. Add clothoid fillets between 2 moves that are long enough to qualify for clothoid filleting
2. collecting multiple small line segments and fitting a spline on them. This may be something a little more complicated than Douglas-Peucker algorithm applied to small line segments with the G64 Qxx settings.
Then we may need to add these two new entities into AddLine and AddArc commands that send the motion blocks to the RT queue inside the RT trajectory planner tpmod_scurve
Time/trajectory lookahead with jerk limitation could be carried out by tpmod_scurve RT component.
One more interesting feature we may want to account for in this new planner development is kinematic planning. Taking into account the speed and acceleration limitations of the joints involved in the move. This can be done by breaking the moves into small enough segments and checking the max velocity and acceleration at the end points of each of the small segments.

Hi Grotius,
i have a few spare ethercat stepper drives by leadshine (6amps) and a couple 230v operates servo drive and motors (750 watts) by Veichi that I could send to you for your machine trials.
This way you will be able to isolate the effects of pulse and direction jitter over ethercat on your machine.
Let me know our DM and we can set something up.

Hi,
I was on holiday, and am back now. Everything is ok.
The responce to the questions of Automata and Arciera, i will do in another post.
Kudos on the terrific progress on jerk limited multiaxis look-ahead planner.
I am aware, after testing the planner on a real machine, it looks certainly promising.
From idea to realism has been a succes so far.
I was on a exhibition yesterday for cnc-machines. All the cnc-machines where using windows.
Non off them was using linux for controller or gui. And the manufacturers didn't know about
scurve motion profile and or path optimalisation using clothoids.
@Automata,
Is there anything we can help with in porting the development to Linuxcnc?
My feeling is that we may want to break up the planner into 2 parts, i.e., RT and non-RT parts.
In hal-core the test used the same planners source code in the rt and in non-rt section. This was ideal for
validating the code in the non-rt section using graphics.
Where in the rt part the graphics are commented out and not loading.
The rt and non-rt sections use shared memory to exchange runtime data like update position etc.
The heavy computational parts can be handled in the non-rt section where loop time deadlines are not a critical consideration.
The planner does all the computation when gcode input loads, this loading is done twice. One time in the non-rt environment, like the gui.
And one time in the rt environment. Then in the rt environment things like loading graphics are commented out.
For porting the planner to linuxcnc the workflow may be different because of the current lcnc workflow like related functions tpAddLine etc.
Last week i made a few libraries to add to hal-core.
The idea is then that the motion controller in the kernel starts a http_server, and a websocket_server.
The gui's, pendants, smart-phones, etc can start a client and connect to the server. A simple website can be a client.
Then the gui's can be coded in python, c, rust, c++, html, java, etc. Cross platform solution.
However, displaying the gcode in a website for example, would still involve using extra code.
There are now 3 libraries tested to create networks : codeberg.org/skynet/network.git
1.http_server & http_client class. (can send a webpage to client showing the servers status)
2.tcp_server & tcp_client class. (can be used for custom data without the need of any http headers in the package's)
3.websocket_server & websocket_client class. (fastest, used for io, commands, position feedback to gui's etc.)
I have also considered to create a ethercat bus virtual client, but so far it's not essential and causes more difficulties as
a smart phone, pendant, has no ethercat bus running, normally.
And then for the motion controller itself, i like to review the scurve library once again.
I like to add a test environment in google's colab or amazon's sagemaker studio to run automated test's and find out
exceptions over million's of run's.
