Good day,
We had made our own hexapod motion table and are trying to use RoboDK as a solution for control.
When looking into the "model mechanism" option, I found no viable solution to our problem.
I discovered 4 premade hexapod robots in the RoboDk robot library, but they do not match our dimensions. I had tried to simply modify the kinematics of the per-existing robots to match ours (accepting an unclean graphical presentation), and even with that, the restraints on the kinematic parameters do not allow me to obtain our dimensions required positionally (e.g. numerical limitations of the range -9999.999 thru 9999.999 does not reach outboard enough).
We designed it in Fusion360, and have a functional fabricated product. We are currently controlling it manually, but would like to have pre-programmed move-sets we could playback and time with our motion control camera robot.
How can we program our custom hexapod machine into RoboDK?
Thank you.
