Maximum Amount of Possible Axis

[cyprian21]

Hi Tom,

If I were to make a custom robot controlled with g-code commands, what would be the maximum amount of axis I'd be able to run using g-code in KMotionCNC in combination with the new Kogna 16-Axis Motion Control Board?

I see in the Trajectory Planner tab there are X,Y,Z,U,V and then A,B,C.

I'd like to able to do more, say 3 axis that translate and 7 axis that rotate; 10 total.

Would look something like this:

G93 G1 X0.000 Y0.000 Z0.000 A0.000 B0.000 C0.000 I0.000 J0.000 K0.000 W0.000 F1800
G93 G1 X0.000 Y0.000 Z0.000 A0.000 B0.000 C0.000 I0.000 J0.000 K0.000 W0.000 F1800
G93 G1 X0.000 Y0.000 Z0.000 A0.000 B0.000 C0.000 I0.000 J0.000 K0.000 W0.000 F1800
etc

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance,
Cyprian

Hi Cyprian,

The GCode Interpreter currently supports 8 axes - XYZABCUV. These 8 GCode axes can be mapped to any of the 16 Kogna axes. The mapping can also be re-mapped on-the-fly via an MCode/C Program as long as axis parameters (scaling/acceleration) is similar.
