Interactive Watt I Six-Bar Linkage Kinematic Analysis

Given the link lengths, theta1, theta2, beta3, beta4, omega2, alpha2, and the coupler point vectors, the interface below allows the user to find the possible input and output ranges of the mechanism, along with the instantaneous position, velocity, and acceleration of the coupler point P.
