Depends on craft you work with. Sometimes is just enough to use KJR mod along with IR that strength out all of joints in game.
In other cases, you may not want to use hinges at all. Use extendatrons instead. Like in this album  or my iteration of same idea.
It is always stronger to use something that forms triangle than just one simple hinge or rotatron.

thank you, I did try KJR but it did not make a difference. basically i have a truss connected to a hinge for the arm on my rover. The actual joint of the hinge is what is weak, its hard to explain, but a extendatron will not work in this particular situation. Thank you for explaining though

I'm working on Canadarm2 robot arm. I made unity3d demo with IK. There are mistakes, but I work on it.

Alan Zucconi's inverse kinematics code is base of the source code. ( https://www.alanzucconi.com/2017/04/10/robotic-arms/ ) 

I just started studying the how to make plugin so I could put it in the KSP.

(I'm sorry my English is weak.)

Need Help...

 

Just installed this mod and the IR Icon shows up in the menu tab in VAB but clicking it just brings up an empty "Servo" window that is empty...

 

TI don't see the little additional menu that's supposed to pop up for commands control and I have all dependant mods installed and updated on version 1.3

 

Thanks!

You might be interested in similar WIP mod:

@VR_Dev might use some help, your work looks very similar.

I downloaded the version from page 93 and it started showing up again.

Hey that unity demo is awesome, way more complex then any of my arms. You could 100% control that from unity just like I do, you would just have to build the equivalent in KSP first. Also that IK info is super useful. My IK has a long way to go. I'm proud of it but I'm no mathematical genius.

My IK code uses SOHCAHTOA, law of cosines, and simple logic for everything. It's way easier in Unity because you have built in functions for distance and angles. You don't need to calculate everything by hand.

This is terrifying to me.

WORKED!

Thanks!

 

Now how do you switch between the two seperate Canadarms installed on my ISS?

 

The IR window will only move the first one I installed and have two on my ISS.

 

Thanks!

The demo source code is pretty tangled. I'm cleaning it and sharing it (unity project). Maybe I can help someone with it.

How to insert this solution to KSP? One complete Canadarm2 part with control plugin?

IR for 1.3 / KJR issues

List of IR download files to work with KSP 1.3

 

Remove "Active struts" as well as "strut" Folders" they are currently incompatible with KSP 1.3 - Unless you opt to use the unofficial Recompiled .dll linked below

4) Optional -  If you wish to use the Surface sampler - Install the Surfacesampler.dll linked below into GameData/MagicSmokeIndustries/Parts/Rework_Utility/Plugins

5) Optional  - KJR unofficial recompile will work with KSP 1.3 and IR 2.0.12 - Linked below

6) Optional - KAS Magnet / Grasper Breaking? Increase "breakForce" under the KAS module in the part cfg to "= 999"

7) Optional - Unofficial recompile of Active Struts Plugin linked below. Curtesy of Whale_2

Hello I'm not sure how this mod is still maintained but I got a huge problem with click through windows and hotkeys being triggered from the text input areas.

For example; I create and rename all my groups, create specific presets for each part. But Everytime you accidentally "pick up" the robotic part or the parenting object; ALL of the settings, renaming and grouping both in "IR editor window" and "IR sequencer" are GONE... =(((( And the worst part is UNDO won't bring them back.

Depending on your camera angle if the IR UI appears on top of your part and you want to drag, or click somewhere within, you also click that part behind the window and pick it up.

If anyone understands what I'm speaking of, then they surely would know the frustration this causes. It is strange for a KSP player to get aggressive but I almost punched my monitor yesterday because of losing 10s of minutes of adjusting my parts (yet I save my model frequently).

So, I would truly appreciate if someone told me a fix or a workaround for this.

At least, please, somebody tell me what files to edit to disable the "clickthrough". Then I can tame myself NOT to pick up the parts until it is also added to the code so that the CTRL + Z will also work for IR options.

Thanks so much in advance.

why don't this mod has built-in size tweaker like Kerbal Foundries?

We can be happy to get this one working at all, considering that original developers are on hiatus due to real life commitments. At time of active development it was enough to use additional config file for tweakscale mod.

As for all other wishes, you might get better chance to post it in new WIP IR plugin thread, it might have better chance to be solved:

As for clicktrough issues, it will require changes in IR plugin too, but this mod can help to solve that one too:

 

[Kilo60]

Does anyone know how to switch from one active Canadarm to another?

 

I have two on my ISS but can only control with the window the first one I installed...

 

Thanks!

You need to Rename IR control group in different way at Candarm #1 and Candarm #2. Having specific name convention on parts in each group can help too but it is not necessary.

IIRC, it is possible to edit groups and IR parts in flight too, but haven't did that kind of thing for long time, so can't tell for sure.

Hello I installed this mod via CKAN, am also using Action groups extended 2.3.2.2 and it is said that both mods complement each other but I'm having troubles with these. I want to confirm if these are known / currently worked on issues, or if they are spesific to me and if I'm doing something wrong.

First of all, I can see the AGX menu with in sequencer, and I can see my action group names in the drop down menu, but when I add them as a sequence line, they become "unknown" which makes it really hard to edit them later or checklist them.

Second, when I use the "wait for servos" or "wait for action group" command lines, these seem to halt the whole sequence and get stuck in that line.

Is this the way it currently is, or am I doing things wrong?

Thanks to everyone who contribute to this bittersweet mod.

CKAN data is most probably outdated. Most recent official working version with "all in one" archive can be found in this post:

There will be no point to update CKAN data as new version of IR plugin is close to release. It would just bring more confusion. It may also happen that KSP 1.4. comes out too that will bring additional workload to all modders as well as CKAN dev team.

I've Tested IR in 1.4 using the 1.3.1 Download with Reworked model parts and work well

I am not having any issues with IR in 1.4 everybody

Quantomstrutscontinued also works in 1.4 as a workaround for the weak IR joints 

Just letting you all know Have a good evening

Where can i get the most updated IR mod that works with KSP 1.4?

Link for latest known stable version made for KSP 1.3.1 can be found three posts aboved yours. That one is reported that works with 1.4. too.

WIP version that stil contains some bugs but is reasonable stable by now can be found in this thread:

Use it only if you don't afraid of kraken attacks that can happen when you least expect.

It may contain bugs (it's a software... isn't that always possible? )... but currently we are working on no issues... and it's planed to have the Sequencer ready soon too...

it can be installed side-by-side with the old IR... I wouldn't say it's 100% safe... but still pretty good... so, if someone is interested in trying it... it would help us in the development to get feedback

for those interested in the source code... it will be available soon, I'm currently converting the directory structure for an upload on GitHub

[Mr Jangoon]

This mod wont work anymore.

Literally the last working version was in 1.11.

And there are people who are able to get it for 1.3.1 but now no one has made the 1.4.1 core or anything so we wont be able to do anything with this mod anymore.

 

please help me or update this mod or somethin.

this is terribly outdated and so many crafts use this mod.

even i wanna make such crafts using this ex-amazing mod.

 

 

 

someone please help if you can help
