Planning to Retrofit a Mazak Integrex200Y Mill-Turn Machine

Hi Tommy,

i think i never used the lower case "s". I used the millturn.comp for this function. Here is the part from my comp file:

EXPORT_SYMBOL(kinematicsType);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(kinematicsSwitchable);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(kinematicsSwitch);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(kinematicsInverse);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(kinematicsForward);

static hal_u32_t switchkins_type;

int kinematicsSwitchable() {return 1;}

int kinematicsSwitch(int new_switchkins_type)
{
switchkins_type = new_switchkins_type;
rtapi_print("kinematicsSwitch(): type=%d\n",switchkins_type);
// create case structure for switchable kinematics
switch (switchkins_type)
{
case 0: rtapi_print_msg(RTAPI_MSG_INFO,
"kinematicsSwitch:TYPE0\n");
*haldata->kinstype_is_0 = 1;
*haldata->kinstype_is_1 = 0;
break;
case 1: rtapi_print_msg(RTAPI_MSG_INFO,
"kinematicsSwitch:TYPE1\n");
*haldata->kinstype_is_0 = 0;
*haldata->kinstype_is_1 = 1;
break;
default: rtapi_print_msg(RTAPI_MSG_ERR,
"kinematicsSwitch:BAD VALUE <%d>\n",
switchkins_type);
*haldata->kinstype_is_1 = 0;
*haldata->kinstype_is_0 = 0;
return -1; // FAIL
}
return 0; // ok
}

The message about 'undefined symbol: kinematicsSwitch' is actually a spurious error that will pop up whenever the kinematic fails to load.
I believe the actual problem is:

which unfortunately is a bit cryptic.

I would start out with an unmodified 'xyzcb_tdr_kins.comp' and do the modifications in small steps while frequently 'halcompiling' the file to find out when it breaks.

I had problems during the installation of linuxcnc irrc i had to manual mount the usb drive. how should i continue I'm a bit clueless

You might have missed edit in the last post

You are missing this line in your kinematic component:

Hello Aciera,

yeah that was basically the problem. I could figure it out with your suggestion with the frequent halcompile way, but this was the culprit. Now it works and i started working on vismach.

I figured out how vismach works and started to modify an existing configuration. But in general its a bit of a pain.

I wonder if its possible to give feedback to the dev-Team in terms of new ideas?

I think it could be done easier, more comfortable and more accurate if it would be possible to export the already animated and set up machine out of Freecad and then just implement it into LCNC. Which would result in a proper machine simulation just as the big boys do it (siemens/fanuc etc.)

It is nice to import .obj and .stl but fitting them together is somehow a bit painful.

Even the documentation has a nice little note:

But anyway, thank you so far for the great support!
