![]() ![]() But, as machinekit, has shown using ROS to do the math is one way to do it. Unless there is a mechanism to switch between joint and cartesian kinematics in gcode it's fairly pointless to use linuxcnc with a serial manipulator. ![]() One important step was the switch-kins branch but that was not accepted to merge into the master branch so you have to build your own. ![]() I don't see a lot of development going on in LinuxCNC when it comes to robot manipulators. Basically all the innovation is in the math hidden inside the controllers. Linuxcnc IS already capable of handling most of what is needed for basic handling of robotic arms but compared to commercial controllers' capabilities it's a _lot_ more limited than say even a 5 axis milling machine. ROS does all the kinematics, simulation and visualization and then sends the joint commands to linuxcnc. Using ROS is one possibility to use Linuxcnc with robots. ![]()
