I found this software for a scara today and am looking it over. It seems like it will have issues for a scara, but it won’t be difficult to find out. The issue I have noticed is the motors and steps per degree are assumed to be the same for both motors and for a scara the x motor also moves the Y motor and are different. The Sara h. file
#define BICEP_LENGTH_MM (350.0)
#define FOREARM_LENGTH_MM (287.81)
In the motors.h it states // choose one of the following
//#define NORMAL_MOTOR_STEPS 200 // 1.8 degrees per step
#define NORMAL_MOTOR_STEPS 400 // 0.9 degrees per step
whereas the firmware I am using now in the Config h. file:
#define XAXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT 2170.0 //Cartesian Steps/mm, Delta abaikan, Scara Steps/degree
#define YAXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT 1910.0 // Cartesian Steps/mm, Delta abaikan, Scara Steps/degree
#define ZAXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT 2.00 // Cartesian Steps/mm, Delta Steps/mm, Scara Steps/mm
// Scara Setting
#define ARM_LENGTH 350.00 // dalam mm. in mm
#define FOREARM_LENGTH 287.81 // dalam mm. in mm
Will it work without each motor having it’s own steps defined?
