Hi,
is it possible at low level (HAL layer) move automatically 4th axis tangent to XY path?

do you have suggestions?

Thanks,
Michele

Thanks.
I have to cut with a disk round parts, the disk orientation must be tangent to path.

In this moment i'm thinking to calculate the angle with a external python module and generate right g-code, but my final idea is to move this routine in real time tread to have this automatic.

I have attached a modified kinematics file in which the A axis value automatically changes to suit the direction of movement.

You can install this with
comp --install tangentkins.c
You can then swap "trivkins" for "tangentkins" in your HAL and INI files.

It probably needs more work.

Hi,
I compiled the file following your instructions and the kinematics move A axis automatically!

The angle was in radiant so i changed angle calculation on the file (see the attached file).



Is it possible lock and unlock the A axis runtime?
I mean, start the program normally withouth A automatically moved and activate the angle automatic movement only in some parts of the program.


In the next few days i can test the kinematics on a real machine.

Thanks.

Yes. You would need to create a HAL pin in the rtpi_app_main function, then link that pin to something in the HAL file (motion.spindle-on would work, but remember that you need to have S > 0 for M3 to change the value of that pin) then modify the kinematics code to act on the value of that pin.

Alternatively, instead of using a pin in HAL to change the mode, you could use a user-defined M-code and a shell script containing
setp tangentkins.auto 1

How much of this needs further explanation?

Thanks,

For me It's ok to use M-codes. I build:

M151
#!/bin/bash
halcmd setp tangentkins.auto true
exit 0

M152
#!/bin/bash
halcmd setp tangentkins.auto false
exit 0

Testing this m-codes with HAL METER seems to work fine, i see the status changed but the A axis always move following XY.

I have some warnings during comp command:

what do i wrong?

Sorry but i am a newbie!
