NAME

       millturn - Switchable kinematics for a mill-turn machine

SYNOPSIS

       loadrt millturn [count=N|names=name1[,name2...]]

DESCRIPTION

       This is a switchable kinematics module using 3 cartesian linear joints (XYZ) and 1 angular joint (A). The
       module contains two kinematic models:

       type0 (default) is a mill (XYZA) configuration with A being a rotary axis.

       type1 is a turn (Z-YX) configuration with A configured to be a spindle.

       For an example configuration, run the sim config: 'configs/sim/axis/vismach/millturn/millturn.ini'.

       Further explanations can be found in the README in 'configs/sim/axis/vismach/millturn'.

       millturn.comp was constructed by modifying the template file: userkins.comp.

       For  more  information  on  how  to  modify  userkins.comp  run:  $  man userkins.   Also, see additional
       information inside: 'userkins.comp'.

       For   information    on    kinematics    in    general    see    the    kinematics    document    chapter
       (docs/src/motion/kinematics.txt)  and for switchable kinematics in particular see the switchkins document
       chapter (docs/src/motion/switchkins.txt)

FUNCTIONS

       millturn.N.fdemo (requires a floating-point thread)

PINS

       millturn.N.fpin s32 out (default: 0)
              pin to demonstrate use of a conventional (non-kinematics) function fdemo
