Hey guys,

i was trying it with probekins.
after i installed it, i was trying to execute probekins but my console brings an input error "no module named voronoi".
if i am searching in my console for "probe2stl" in the same folder i installed and compiled probekins, he cant find any file.

also i dont understand completely what probekins is and what it is doing.

In LinuxCNC kinematics modules convert the XYZ positions from G-code into "joint" positions. Typically a joint is a machine slideway and motor, but can be the elbow of a robot, or the length of a string or the extension of a hydraulic cylinder, for example.
Most machines are laid out so that the axes and joints correspond 1 to 1. These are called "trivial kinematics" machines. An example of a very non-trivial kinematics machine would be a hexapod. (nice example here: )

Probekins is for a machine where the Z-height varies because the table or work is not flat. It allows you to probe the work or the table, build an STL file to describe the shape of the table or work, and then the Z axis will track at a constant height above the work as XY change.

That might or might not be what you want to do.

probe2stl is here: git.mah.priv.at/gitweb/emc2-dev.git/blob...ematics/probe2stl.py
