Move axis to dest and at speed

Post by GabrielR922 » Sat May 29, 2021 1:57 pm

Hi Tom

I'm trying to move my axis to a home position with a C code.

The home position will be always relative to machine G53 0.

So I need a way to script in C a G1 G53 X100 Y100 F10000.

Tried MoveXYZ but it won't work. Also it would be nice to use Machine coordinate, not units. (like Move command).

Thanks.

Hi Gabriel,

The simplest method is to make 2 MoveAtVel() calls. The motion of X and Y will be simultaneous but independent and not necessarily on a straight line. A trick to make it on a straight line is to scale the Velocities, Accelerations, and Jerks proportional to the distance each axis is to move relative to the combined vector distance.

Or you might perform a G53 MDI command to KMotionCNC.

Otherwise to do a coordinated motion see the CoordMotion C examples.
