February 7, 2012
I finally got around to finding and fixing a few tiny things. The biggest fix was to the code for sliding links. A sliding link is a link that has two sliders that make it move along a specific linear path. I had code to handle the case…

I was working the last few nights on an update to the linkage design and simulation program. I have started the process of adding linear actuator support. Until now, rotating inputs were the only type of input available. I have a working mechanism although I have no way…
