Thanks John- yes it was 'tripodkins.c'. Making the suggested changes in
'Makefile' allowed it to compile as dipodkins.c.
Now the next problem is getting it to run in emc2. My thoughts are, I'd make
a simple sliding machine much like air-hocky, with a sliding floater hooked
to the two rigid struts (lead screws) and a Cartesian z-axis. I have a 36 x
24 inch surface plate and using hold-downs of 6 in Dia in each positioned at
the ends of the 36 in dimension of the plate. The floater is also 6 in Dia..
I come up with the following- Bx = 30, strut length to home (or home?)
19.2094, and home Dx = 15, Dy = 12, and Dz = 0.
So I plug these into a new file called dipod.ini and dipodsim.hal (sim
because I am faraway from home and have nothing to run) and it WORKS!
If anybody would like my files (my-dipod.dxf, dipodkins.c, dipodsim.hal,
dipod.ini, and dipodsim.hal), I would happily share them.
If anybody has made such a machine, I would be interested in their
experiences.
Again thanks John, c brauer
PS I haven't tried Jeff's suggestion yet.
