Hi,

@ Reinhard,

If I got you right, you said, that you don't use nml - so you probably don't use interpreter and taskmanager.
... and if that is true, how do you do jobs like jogging, touch workpiece, measure toollength or set coordinate systems?
Afaik they are all nml-based.


That's correct. I just code them in c and c++.
My task manager is a hal component. For coordinate systems i use opencascade and kdl.
Tool lenght measuring should be done by a hal component wich is requested by a Gcode macro.
Nml is like a server. Maybe when hal-core is evolved we could use something like that to monitor the system.

@ Dave,

That is looking really great! There will be a lot more automation applications that it could be use on.

Yes yes. The current code is dynamic. It doesn't matter how the machine looks like. It automaticly setups the
kinematic chain and hal pins etc. Everything is now more or less automated.
But it was hard working to get here.

I added some examples to hal-core and a new code archive : github.com/grotius-cnc/hal-core/releases
The novabot is interesting. The kinematics of the novabot is interesting.
The 5 axis cnc uses 2 kinematic chains.

Hi,

I just added a 5 axis cnc concept with a 6'th positioned toolaxis.
It can drill in a 3d tooldirection by jogging.
This type of machine is most used by plasma, laser, milling etc.

From this example i will go and finish the motion planner.

That's pretty cool how it can work with pretty much any machine, makes me want to add 2 more axis to my foam router!

Building that on your machine requires capabilities for sure.

Yeah. 

Video of 5 axis cnc now including jog motion based on the ruckig scurve lib.
It costed me extra time to get it working correct on all fronts. I had to find a needle in a haystack. But it works now.

Soon i can test the motion planner.

Hi Grotius,
Looking at your latest code release. Is everything done with the skynet hal module now?
Does the skynet module output the required position pins that you would connect to a stepgen module? Or does it need a accel/decel planner in between?

Hi Dave,

Yes my current example is now the skynet hal module.

I updated the release github.com/grotius-cnc/hal-core/releases.../1.9/hal-core.tar.gz
It has a few hal output position + acceleration pins that you can connect to the robot.
Please look at the hal file of the 5 axis cnc. You need a few velocity, acc, jerk parameters that are important.

For the rest, look at the fanuc halfile. The kinematic setup is slightly changed sinds a few day's.

Hi,

A tiny update for hal-core.
I recorded 2 machines moving at the same time.
The program is build up using dynamic memory in the hal component.
I recoded parts of the kdl kinematics, the ruckig trajectory, the gcode parser etc.
Now close to programming the gcode runner.

video link

mention the servo-load, lower left of window. This indicates the actual load of the servo thread.

Hi,

A tiny update. The gcode runner is now captured on video.

The program has loaded a standard .ngc gcode file. This file is then placed in 3d on the machine table.
The machine has to follow. If you have a good look at the path's you can see the path follow error is visible.
This is when the joint velocity, acceleration and jerk are set to low. In fact the machine xyz speeds are to high. But
nice to mention this.

Then there is no path optimization for the end velocity at the moment. It now stops at every gcode line. This off course
has to change.

a video:

The servo-load, lower left of the window, is glad not ticking far over the 100% load.
I have a old pc. So it can not get much worse than this.

And a video of doing a gcode pocket program. 2000+ gcode lines to being exec. for each machine.

a cool  video:

And a video of doing the first 3d gcode file. It seems to go ok.
The machine in the back. I like this !

Hello Grotius,

Big thanks for sharing your updates. Seems really impressive! We are really interested in this development that you are building up! We want to test it in a multipurpose application. We could have a big Kuka robot that we can retrofit to test your solution maybe. 
We are focused on AM for large scale and developing pellet extruders. In our applications, the 3D gcode is the standard.
The dm are blocked in the linuxcnc forum so I have a lot of difficulties finding your contact and writing to you directly. If it is possible please send me your email (
This message contains confidential information
) and we will contact you. 
Sorry everybody for a direct request in a public forum.

Here our little 3D printer
