Gimbal CB

[BattyZ]

Hello All,

I have built and wired up my machine. Following the videos and forum, I have got the 5 axis up and running but only getting TCP when I have 5AxisGimbalAB in the kinematics file. When I type 5AxisGimbalCB save and reload the application it seems as though I am only getting "3rod" kinematics. I tried to rebuild the solution and reinstall Kmotion. All the correct headers in the programs seem to be there. But no matter what I do GimbalAB is the only thing that seems to load 5 axis kinematics with TCP. This is a preloaded kinematics class so I should not be having any trouble right? Or is there something I am missing? Running the latest stable 4.43 Kmotion download and Windows 10 on a Pro-book.

Here should be a picture of my setup confirming the need for the CB gimbal head. Thanks in advance for the help. Stoked to get back up and cutting and the opportunities Dynomotion brings to the table.

Hi Batty,

Some of the newer Kinematics support turning RTCP on and off. Are you commanding G43.4?
G43.4 Hn (Tool #n length On with RTCP On)

Please use our later code Version 4.35f

Otherwise set a breakpoint in CoordMotion.cpp to see which class is actually being used. Break on this line:

FILE *f = fopen((CString)MainPath + "\\Data\\Kinematics.txt","rt");

HTH

Thanks for the quick response...looks like I have more reading to do. The on/off of the rctp sounds like a great feature now that I know. That break point should confirm.

I posted this question on my way out of country giving some time for people to respond, that seems to be a non issue. I will get back to you when I eventually have to leave this beach.

Thanks again!

Hi Batty,

Enjoy the time off. I just read a study where working less increases productivity.

[BattyZ]

Money.

Much calibration work to do but overall we are there.

Thanks Tom!

I have been having some errors and not able to compile the buildalllibs but I think that might be my VS2015 setup. Says it cannot open alot of files but they are there.

Sign me up for this! I don't doubt it. The less stressed you are the more focused you can be on sorting out a proper solution. I wish I felt that way about trying to tackle encoders for my rotary axis...hahaha

Very nice!

What errors do you get? Did you install the MFC option?

[BattyZ]

Doing a modify/repair since it redownloaded the latest redistritubles with the firmware update.

Read your comment as this popped up on the screen..so yes I would believe so!

[BattyZ]

Well after about my 3rd or 4th uninstall and reinstall I got it to compile! Successfully changed the value of one variable hehehe

Putting these here for the next guy.

Hello BattyZ hello TOM.
I did everything like you do to change the pivot.
But after building the project, I got the error mfc140d.dll, the library is missing.

As I understand it, the MFC library is not included in the visual studio.
How to find out?
I rebuilt the project in debug mode and then copied it to the release folder.
Any help.
