« Machine visualization: jmk kicks my ass | Newest entries | Easy tangent arcs, and biarc approximation of splines »

John K. and Alex have continued working with nontrivial machines, and now there's a usable SCARA simulation in addition to the Puma I screenshotted this weekend. Here's a screenshot of the "scaragui", with a little backplot I hacked in.

Now that every developer has access to a machine with nontrivial kinematics, we're also more aware of some trouble with our support for these machines. For instance, there is a lot of confusion about soft limits, because the same numbers are used for joint limits and the cartesian boundary of the work envelope, which was always assumed to be a simple rectangular solid.
