Beginner kinemetrics setup for linear delta?

In the simulator version, if I move the axis's before homing, it will move just the one axis. After I home all is when it starts moving with more then one axis. In the version that is hooked up to the actual motors, it will only move one axis at a time. The only difference is that I do not have my limits functioning yet and I just hit home axis for each axis. Is this what is causing the problem or is there another operation or something that triggers the kinematics to start?

BTW it does appear to be using inches which is set in my ini

Thanks for the helps folks

In recent joints_axesNN branches, the simulator examples
(configs/sim/axis/ldelta.ini and configs/sim/axis/ldelta_demo.ini) use the
setting:
Code:
[KINS] AUTO_TELEOP = 20
to initiate an automatic switch from joint mode to teleop mode after homing.
The 20 value is the max number of seconds to wait for homing completion. You
omitted this in your ini file i think.

In the axis gui, the radio buttons on the 'Manual Control' tab show as 0,1,2,... for joint mode and
as X,Y,Z,A,... for teleop mode.

In the axis gui, you can switch between joint and teleop modes with the
'$' key.

'Joints' and 'axes' are very different things for a machine with non-identity kinematics (like a delta robot):

Thank you! The "$" was the magic item I needed.

all three moved on Z move which is a good thing, now I just need to read up on the following error which I am pretty sure is out there.

Getting Closer!
Andy
