gonna try in a moment..

That's interesting. I wasn't expecting that to fix it, but it does take something else out of the equation.

So, you can jog simultaneously in trivkins in Joint mode, but not in World mode?

exactly. and that's the same with bipod/tripod/tetrapod kins.

I will try the same test on my system tonight, but I think your test makes it clear that the problem is somewhere in Axis or Motion.

Actually, will your config work with tkEmc as the GUI? And is that the same?

Tried now with tkemc both the bipod and the trivial-kin sim. same result same issue.
tried also with mini, but it seems to me you cannot exchange to world mode. same for keystick.

YEEESSSSS!!!

Ok Andy and other interested, i almost solved the question!

i tried again (one year ago my first attempt, but i wasn't able to accomplish..) to install joints_axes3 branch... not so simple for me, but this time i could do.
modify my .ini and .hal bipod files and...


let's say that it can read two analog joystick directions together. I have only one problem now, that it reads only the maximum value of the analog joystick. to explain: as i touch the joystick in X direction, the system move into the right world X direction, but at max speed, as if i pressed the joystick at the maximum. Then, as i move simultaneously to the Y direction, the system goes to X,Y in diagonal at maximum speed.
i think that's a problem with the configuration file of Joyhandle.

these are my configs:

oops.
sorry i made some mistake with the attachment, these are my configs:

Hi, some days ago i could finally solve this problem, and for everybody's knowledge (of course who cares or needs..) i'm writing here how.
It was finally possible thanks to Michael Geszkiewicz suggestion on the devel-mailing-list:

If you want to make halui.jog-speed pin working in ja3 branch, comment
line 1223 (axis->teleop_tp.max_vel = axis->vel_limit;) in file
/src/emc/motion/control.c and recompile

regards,
Michael

This solution interests those who need to jog with a joystick/joypad with non-trivial kinematics into world-mode (teleop.).
The issue with master and older EMC2 was that it was impossible to jog 2 or more axis together.
Instead with JA3 branch, as it is, you can jog, but with a costant speed (no manual control of speed).

Thanks to Michael mod that is possible.
soon i'll put a video to show this.

Ciao, Davide.

You can see it in action here:

thanks John!
and thanks also to the forum and mailing list.

great result Davide

this has brought other ideas i'd like to try
could you share your gladevcp panel as shown in the video
