Hi Mark,

We have Symetrie Breva and Puna hexapods at DLS, which we use this template for: https://github.com/dls-controls/pmac/blob/dls-master/pmacApp/Db/symetrie_hexapod.template

I am not sure how compatible it will be, but it might be a good starting point at least.

Cheers,
Gary

Hi Andy,

Thanks, I have heard back from Symetrie and they sent the manual for the EPICS driver.  It uses the PMAC driver you listed, and I believe the PMAC implements the Cartesian coordinates as virtual motors.

Hi Mark,

This driver should talk to a Power PMAC Clipper:


but I don't know if you're looking for an extra application on top of that to drive the Hexapod?

Cheers, Andy

Correction, the hexapod model is the BORA, not BUNA.

Folks,

We just received a Symetrie BUNA hexapod with their NAOS controller.  The controller has a Delta Tau Power PMAC Clipper inside, with their hexapod software.  Does anyone have an EPICS driver for this?

Thanks,
Mark
