[1.1.x] Canadarm v1.71 (5 June 2016)

[thevegimobil]

Anyone getting the end yaw for the end effector coming out of the joint and hovering weirdly away from the arm? Almost like the pivot is broken?

Then your built of the Canadarm isn`t correct.

Then you connect them not correctly.

Great Mod!

 

Having trouble attaching to my ISS...

 

Is there a node base part I can use and place as an attachment point?

 

Thanks

No, but you can use every part with an node like the little stock girder-module. You can attach it to this girder and then attach it to a modul of you station.

Is there any way to remove one of the two long arms to shorten the Canadarm to better fit my Rovers?

 

Or any way to make a shorter overall version with the stock mod parts?

 

 

Thanks!

Have you tried tweakscale? Also look at the infernal robotics part rework for more parts.

 

is that the Ares rover by @-ctn- ?

I have tweaksacle installed and working but no option to shrink the Canadarm...

Where can I find the IR parts rework?

Thanks!

Yes, it is the Ares rover mod and love it!

This is because there is no Tweakscale-config for the Canadarm. Bu you easily can do it yourself. Make a new config, place it anywhere in GameData and insert the following:

@PART[carmend|carmendwrist|carmgrapple|carmlowerarm|carmshoulder|carmupperarm|carmwrist]:NEEDS[TweakScale]
{
    #@TWEAKSCALEBEHAVIOR[Science]/MODULE[TweakScale] { }
    %MODULE[TweakScale]
    {
        type = free
    }
}

Doesn't seem to work for 1.4.1. It caused the game to crash on loading several times.

The problem is not this Canadarm, the problem is Infernal Robotics which isn`t updatet to 1.4.1 yet. Wait a little bit. Also sirkut has a new project to get this Canadarm and some others to work.

 

[Rudolf Meier]

Do you know Infernal Robotics Next ?

The main reason why I started the project was, because I wanted to have a Canadarm and Canardarm-2 in the game. Including the redocking of the arm and attach it to other PDGFs. That wasn't possible in old IR, but is no problem in IR Next. Additionally I started to investigate docking ports, because I think PDGFs should (at least sometimes) act like dockingports (because the game removes things not docked to a vessel... so, switching vessels could ruin your day, when you're new space station part simply dissapears).

And... I wanted to include inverse kinematics to it (almost done). Oh and... add collisions to the scene so that you cannot move arms and parts attached to arms through your stations and things like that.

... I hope there is a way to try if IR Next could be used with your arm(s).

[RaiderMan]

so this works with ksp 1.3.1?

[IceTitan]

It worked fine for me somehow on 1.4.2, i didnt install infernal robotics, i just used the one that is included with the download.

this is a part for spaceshuttles so you can move the payload to the dockingport for easy docking on space stations.

[RaiderMan]

and kerbal attachment system? did you use that?

[RaiderMan]

..keep getting a big fat goose egg on getting this to work.

[IceTitan]

@RaiderMan I used KAS yes. What is not working for you, the canadarm in total ?

Edit: I see there is no Infernal Robitics file included. I will try to download the mod again to let you know how I got it to work.

Found it: First download your Module manager, KAS versions then download the core mod from this post

For those that are interested this thread is working on some robotic arms as well

Working perfect on 1.4.3 with IR 2.0.14

Thank you, Sir. Just what I was looking for to know.

*Kudos*

No "magnet" option on end part for KSP 1.6...?

 

Anyone else having issues getting this to work in 1.6 or 1.7 KSP?

 

Love this mod!

 

Thanks!

In 1.6.x it works well. But I think you need the old KAS (legacy parts).

Will the old legacy parts overwrite the new parts in KAS or can they be added separately?

 

Thanks!
