VitaminRad's Marlin and other SCARA Firmware problems

Re: VitaminRad's Marlin and other SCARA Firmware problems

dongxuzhou — Mon, 25 Mar 2019 05:07:16 -0400

I noticed that the firmware called the kinematic inverse solution of the SCARA robot before calling the plan_buffer_line function, and then assigns the calculated three joint angle values to the plan_buffer_line function.After reading the plan_buffer_line function in detail, I feel that this is wrong.
This is because all the computational algorithmic processes in the function are directed to Cartesian Cartesian coordinate space, for example:

block->millimeters = sqrt(square(delta_mm[X_HEAD]) + square(delta_mm[Y_HEAD]) + square(delta_mm[Z_AXIS]));

This is to calculate the spatial moving distance through the three target coordinates of Cartesian space. If it is replaced by three joint angle values, is this wrong?
The latter algorithm has similar problems, especially the Breasham algorithm in ISR, which is completely an algorithm of Cartesian space. If the value passed to the algorithm is three joint angle values, I think it should be incorrect.
I looked at the code for the marlin 1.1 version and there are similar issues.
I hope that my doubts can be answered, thank you!smiling smiley

Hi Scaraman!

Did your Scara work?

Preliminary Calibration for SCARA 3D Printer using InventMain Firmware

ScaraMan — Wed, 19 Sep 2018 14:48:39 -0400

Hi Guys,
It's been a while, was on holidays. Now i am back, and trying endlessly to still set up my printer- at least make sure that the arms Link 1 and Link 2
move correctly to the desired locations i have chosen , it seems every time i change a parameter in the firmware , it just doesn't do what i want.

I would really appreciate if anyone could shed some light to my frustration.
I am trying to configure Firmware from Invent Main to work with my 3d printer.
I did some changes and moved my end stops to the other side, from the last time
i had posted, see prevoius posts. ( Thinking that end stops were too far, from Bed center ( 0, 0 )

There is 2 files attached with this post, and a youtube link below

filename : Top View SCARA 3D PRINTER.jpg

This image is a Top View of My Scara 3D printer with proper dimensions

filename : Marlin8_ArmOni_Solo_Sep_13_2018.zip

Contains the current firmware i used according to the video you see

Yout tube Link Video -- [youtu.be]

Video shows the arms being homed, and then i give a command
after homing

G0 X0 YO, THEN G0 X0 Y 219 THEN G0 X 247 Y 219 THEN G0 X 247 Y 0
AND FINALLY G0 X0 Y0

As you see they are not in proper positions
By the way when i home, i press x home on pronterface and the y home on pronterface
following the G0 X0 YO

But if i home using G28 command , it will not move after i give command
G0 X0 Y0

Thanks but I have a scara with link1 = 100, link2 = 100
So How to calculate the offset points x and y? MANUAL_X_HOME_POS ,MANUAL_Y_HOME_POS ?
sorry for my English not good

Please! How to calculate the offset points x and y ?

Re: VitaminRad's Marlin and other SCARA Firmware problems

ScaraMan — Mon, 16 Jul 2018 11:41:20 -0400

Yes seems like that, any way to resolve that ?
i will try tonight to set G0 X247 Y0, and see where is ends up.
Would it be better if i just had the endstops located on the other side ??
i dont see why the firmware cant handle the present location i have them now .

Re: VitaminRad's Marlin and other SCARA Firmware problems

invent2main — Mon, 16 Jul 2018 09:08:05 -0400

you may have a trajectory/collision problem...
Did you try other positions: for example G0 X247 Y0

Re: VitaminRad's Marlin and other SCARA Firmware problems

ScaraMan — Mon, 16 Jul 2018 05:59:18 -0400

HI
I tried your suggestion, but with no success
pronterface is able to send command to home end stops for x and y, but after I send a G0 X0 Y0, it freaks.
I have attached a link to video and the firmware, please take a look

invent2main — Mon, 16 Jul 2018 03:47:23 -0400

hello,
if you use my version without changes it's normal; you have to change the the type of kinematics that depend of your design in the file Marlin_main.cpp:

just change y in the forward kinematics:
y_sin = sin(f_scara[Y_AXIS]/SCARA_RAD2DEG) * Linkage_2; // classical SCARA style
y_cos = cos(f_scara[Y_AXIS]/SCARA_RAD2DEG) * Linkage_2; // classical SCARA style
//y_sin = sin((f_scara[Y_AXIS]+(f_scara[X_AXIS]*3/4))/SCARA_RAD2DEG) * Linkage_2; //MODIF FOR ARMONI
//y_cos = cos((f_scara[Y_AXIS]+(f_scara[X_AXIS]*3/4))/SCARA_RAD2DEG) * Linkage_2; //MODIF FOR ARMONI

for inverse kinematics you need the second Delta(Y):
//delta[Y_AXIS] = (SCARA_theta + SCARA_psi) * SCARA_RAD2DEG; // Morgan style
delta[Y_AXIS] = SCARA_psi * SCARA_RAD2DEG; // classical SCARA style
//delta[Y_AXIS] = (SCARA_psi + (SCARA_theta/4)) * SCARA_RAD2DEG; //MODIF FOR ARMONI (s2a)

I modified the attached file

Hi Invent2Main

So you mentioned in your last reply you were willing to help me, I am using your firmware and entered the parameters according
to my setup. When I run pronterface I am able to home the x and y motors to the end stops , then I send an M114 command and this is the reding I get
SENDING:M114
X:467.42 Y:-200.75 Z:0.00 E:0.00 Count X: -24.83 Y:11.98 Z:0.00
SCARA Theta:-24.83 Psi+Theta:11.99
SCARA Cal - Theta:-24.83 Psi+Theta (90):-53.18
SCARA step Cal - Theta:-14.71 Psi+Theta:21.82

What do I do after that ?
if I send a command G0 X0 Y0 to go to my bed center , the arms begin to move but then link 2 continues rotating counterclockwise and won't stop !
I have attached the firmware , and a drawing - TOP VIEW - can you help me please
Thanks
Terry

HI
Sure i can use your version, what parameters do i need to change in order to work properly ?
Thanks

Re: VitaminRad's Marlin and other SCARA Firmware problems

invent2main — Mon, 09 Jul 2018 04:51:49 -0400

yes, your steps/unit seems correct;
what is the source of the firmware? vitaminrad, mine, other?
Before finding a functional config, I tested many versions (vitaminrad, kimbra, morgan, RC ...) and none worked at 100%
so I can only help you on my version and my configuration; and not guaranteed that it works for others...
good luck

SCARA MARLIN FIRMWARE -PROBLEM WITH HOMING TO BED POSITION 0,0

ScaraMan — Wed, 04 Jul 2018 08:58:12 -0400

Hi Everyone,

i have been trying for days now, modifying the marlin firmware as attached in my previous post.
But i still cannot get the arms to go to 0,0 position after homing on the end stops.
It seems it wants to go to another position as per image 0523 in previous post.
i am really stuck !!!
When i move x or y in pronterface. the arms move by the amount in the proper directions, but the 0,0 is from that origin
as per the image 0523
i want the origin to be from the bed center as per the attached top view drawings
Can anyone help me, what's the secret here.
I have attached the configuration file in prevoius post i have attached the Marlin_main.cpp with this post also.
I NEED HELP, ANYONE PLEASE ?????

ScaraMan — Tue, 26 Jun 2018 05:29:32 -0400

Hi Vitamin Rad
Thanks for your help.
I inputted the values in Marlin.
When I home in Pronterface, it does reach the endstops, although I need to place link2 arm slightly away before homing so that Link 1
touches end stop 1st, before Link 2 hits end stop.
M114 command reads this at endstops
SENDING:M114
X:182.57 Y:-127.29 Z:0.00 E:0.00offX:123.50offY:-107.00offZ:0.00 Count X: 153.82 Y:84.77 Z:0.00
Angle_X:153.82Angle_Y:84.78

but when I use a G0 X0 Y0 command after that , it doesn't go to the Bed Center 0,0 as pr my drawing. Any ideas why this is happening ?
I have attached pictures, and the config files that I am using.
I have attached the PDF top view, of where the arms should be when at bed centre 0,0

Also the pulleys on motor have 20 teeth, and the larger pulleys that are connected to arms, have 120 teeth, i am using nema 17 stepper motors
200 steps 16 microsteps -- i come out with 53.33 for the x and y steps that i plug into Marlin, is this correct ??

Scara 3D Printer -- Need help setting up Marlin firmware

ScaraMan — Tue, 19 Jun 2018 15:41:28 -0400

Hi
I just joined the forum
i really need some help.
i am building a scara 3d printer, i think it's really cool.
i have built 4 3d printers, cartesian style using marlin firmware for ultimaker 2 and they all run well )
but now i am not sure what the parameters should be using the firmware for marlin with scara.
i am somewhat confused.
I am looking also at wangamas, but it seems that there are no pins files for my controller board, i am using the ultimaker 2 board.
so i want to use vitaminRads firmware.
i realise that wangamas firmware uses angles to input as the settings,
Can someone please help.
i have attached a top view Cad drawing and a real picture as of today.
my endstops are located as shown in drawing, and my prefered bed center location. ( is this acceptable )
but i dont understand what the tower offsets from bed center should be , also homing locations.
At the moment just want to test the motors and endstops to make sure everything works fine , before i add the other components
Nozzle, heatbed, controller board mounts , display, etc.
I am using Nema 17 stepper motors, 1.8 degree, 16 steps. my motor pulleys have 20 teeth pulling the other pulleys with 120 teeth so gear ratio is 6.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, i am sure i will get it, it's just entering the correct setting parameters.

Thank you so much!!! No worries about it, I'm just incredibly grateful for your help, this project means a great to me and I'm not sure what I would have done without you :)

I just finished commenting out the changes, I must admit now that I see it you have a very handy system for different kinematics. I'll go test things out and let you know how it goes!

Re: VitaminRad's Marlin and other SCARA Firmware problems

invent2main — Tue, 10 Apr 2018 03:43:51 -0400

it's my fault, I didnt wrote a lot of comments in the modified code (it's a "work in progress", for tests); choice of kinematics depend of your design...

just change y in the forward kinematics:
y_sin = sin(f_scara[Y_AXIS]/SCARA_RAD2DEG) * Linkage_2; // classical SCARA style
y_cos = cos(f_scara[Y_AXIS]/SCARA_RAD2DEG) * Linkage_2; // classical SCARA style
//y_sin = sin((f_scara[Y_AXIS]+(f_scara[X_AXIS]*3/4))/SCARA_RAD2DEG) * Linkage_2; //MODIF FOR ARMONI
//y_cos = cos((f_scara[Y_AXIS]+(f_scara[X_AXIS]*3/4))/SCARA_RAD2DEG) * Linkage_2; //MODIF FOR ARMONI

for inverse kinematics you need the second Delta(Y):
//delta[Y_AXIS] = (SCARA_theta + SCARA_psi) * SCARA_RAD2DEG; // Morgan style
delta[Y_AXIS] = SCARA_psi * SCARA_RAD2DEG; // classical SCARA style
//delta[Y_AXIS] = (SCARA_psi + (SCARA_theta/4)) * SCARA_RAD2DEG; //MODIF FOR ARMONI (s2a)

Thanks! Helps clear up my conscious and hmm I'm honestly not sure I understand how our kinematics are different since both have joints in the same places and both your motors move the machine from its own shoulder like mine. Guess I don't nearly understand what I'm doing as much as I had hoped I did. Building a printer is a bundle of a lot more surprises I could have ever dreamed of haha. Okay, I found the forward and inverse kinematics I think you were asking for.

hello, no problem for sharing; Marlin is open source...
I think you have to modify kinematics for your version; I have seen in your video that the elbow motor is moved by shoulder; in my version motors are fixed, hence the particular kinematics...
what do you have here in Marlin_Main:
void calculate_SCARA_forward_Transform(... // Perform forward kinematics
void calculate_delta(... // Inverse kinematics

oops wrong forum I was supposed to post in, meant to post in another guy's thing, I'd be happy to share your firmware with him if he doesn't just find it here but it would make me feel a lot better about doing so if I had your permission.

This is some Wangsama repetier style firmware, open source and I tried using it myself. I can upload and adjust some settings thanks to the tutorial videos made for it, probably the best documented SCARA firmware out there. I've had my own problems with it but how about giving this a try instead of Mk4Duo and we can work together to get our machines printing. :D

Hi! do I have your permission to advertise your marlin version to others? I recently redesigned my printer to be right handed to make it more compatible with your firmware as well as others but configuring it is still a challenge, hoping someone passing by might have that golden answer.

I tried following your diagram but it's hard to tell what I am doing is right or wrong. Homing is top notch but moving the Z-axis up has the arm move randomly outward and moving the arm in increments in the Y or X restricts the arm to a very short orbit around its base, at the end, I have no idea where anything is, I'll try to post a video in a little bit to show you what I mean

happy to see that it was help you;
SCARA Configuration of Marlin is not easy and I don't know if you can print all around the 'tower' (base);
if it can help, in attachment you can found how I had understand and configure my prototypes

Re: VitaminRad's Marlin and other SCARA Firmware problems

Power3DPrinting — Tue, 13 Mar 2018 01:26:03 -0400

Great news! I've finished customizing the config.h, homing from pronterface is fantastic and then gives me control of the xyz axis from its interface so for the first time i'm moving onto calibrating things! Also, holy cow you have some cool videos, way to go!

Some bad news, I don't think I understand the config settings as well as I thought I did and it might be a major contributer to why I am struggling with so many different SCARA firmwares. I attatched a sketch of my intended range and orientation, mainly I wanted to check with you or anyone who is interested about some settings because I had to make some changes in excess of 100-700 units. One main problem I am having with the pronterface moves is although both motors turn like they want to move the hotend some where but most of the movements are constrained to rotating clockwise or counter clockwise around the perimeter of the shoulder tower. Not sure how to orientate the arm to move away from the shoulder, probably a bad config edit on my end.
L1=250mm
L2=250mm
X_Offset=-145mm //From shoulder, assuming it is 0,0 for the XY plane
Y_Offset=75mm
Theta_Offset=0
PSI_Offset=0
Steps per degree (712.8, 453.6, 800, 100) //XYZE
X_Max=500
X_Min=-500
Y_Max=500
Y_Min=-500

oh, and I noticed you had an fpos_t error for the LCD so I changed them all to filepos_t in the two sdbase files to compile the machine on Arduino 1.8.5, might get you out of the awkwardness of uploading on an older version of Arduino if you want. Thanks again for the help!!!
