Haq XY
-
Hi, I'm trying to get the HaqXY kinematics to work.
How do I change so that the Y movement is like CoreXY for 2 X axis but the X movement is regular cartesian?
I'm guessing it's pretty simple, but I just can't figure it out..
-
There is no built-in support for that kinematics at present. It sounds rather like MarkForged kinematics - is it? I think someone else is in the process of adding support for MarkForged kinematics to the firmware.
-
Yes, it is basically Markforge but with 2 X axis
If I choose corexy the Y axisi works perfect but both the X axis goes diagonal. If I choose regular cartesian both the X axisi works but Y become diagonal.
-
It sounds to me that MarkForged kinematics would work for that machine, provided it is implemented so that any additional axes created are straightforward linear axes.
-
@dc42 yeah that would be awsome! Do you know when it's supose to be implemented?
-
@dc42 Do you know who this someone is?
-
It looks like that someone was a user who enquired about MarkForged kinematics on the RepRap forums, but decided the Duet was too expensive for him.
I've had an idea for a generalised Cartesian/CoreXY configuration that would also encompass CoreXZ, CoreXYU, MarkForged, Haq, and all other variants of the principle that the movement of an axis is a linear function of the movements of a number of motors. Now I need to refresh my memory on how to invert a matrix.
-
Sounds very promising
-
@dc42 I got this from a guy who has implemented a markforge design with a smoothieware board, would it be hard to use this and make the kinematics for the Duet?

Not really, however implementing MarkForged kinematics in RRF isn't difficult anyway. It would be best done by generalising the existing CoreXY kinematics. But right now I am trying to finish the 2.02 release, so now isn't the time to make that sort of change.
-
@dc42 Hi!
Has there been any progress on the Markforged kinematics?
-
@dc42 Hi!
Has there been any progress on the Markforged kinematics?Not yet; but now that the 2.02 release is done I can look again at generalising CoreXY kinematics to support it.
-
@dc42 That would be super great!
-
@dc42 Any updates?
-
I have a new internal build supporting the generalised CoreXY kinematics, but I've not had time not run a print using it yet.
-
@dc42 That sound great! If you want me to test it I would happily do so
I got the machine with the schematics described in the first post ready to go
-
I've put a very early beta at https://www.dropbox.com/s/fyvibzm0zl92hiy/Duet2CombinedFirmware.bin?dl=0. Sending M669 K11 should put it in MarkForged mode. If you want to set the movement matrix by hand you can use M669 K0 X1:-1 Y0:1 instead.
Please test it with great care and low motor current. In particular, the homing behaviour is untested.
-
@dc42 Im fiddling with it now
Maybe a dumb question, but is K0 the X axis? maybe K1 is Y axis?
In this case, if I just activate Markforged by putting M669 K11 in the config file then X becomes Y and Y becomes X.When Y is moving both X and Y need to move, but when X is moving only X needs to move.
Now its the other way around
-
Try this: M669 K0 Y1:-1
I used the diagram at https://hackaday.io/project/19543-haq-xy/details. So the X motor should just affect X, and the Y motor should affect X and Y.
-
@dc42 Woho! It worked!
The homing is a bit weird thoug
How should I proceed if I want to add another X axis?
