An irc user asked if Linuxcnc could handle XYZ with a C axis ( turns around Z ) IchGuckLive? built a set of config files modified from the sim axis 9 config here's teh files
They can be placed in a new folder inside your 'configs' directory in your Linuxcnc directory
name the directory as you like, it was 'ravenrock' ( the irc user that began the enquiry )
heres the files
upload:axis_manualtoolchange.hal
upload:core_sim9.hal
upload:dump.rdb
upload:locking_indexer.hal
upload:ravenrockCXYZ.ini
upload:README
upload:sim_spindle_encoder.hal
upload:simulated_home.hal
upload:standard_pinout.hal
upload:stepper.tbl
upload:stepper.var
upload:stepper_xyza.hal
i'm not sure IchGuchLive? wanted his Venus.ngc public, i think the rest is ok (or redundant )
the trick is in specifying the GEOMETRY and AXIS statements i do not understand why/how the supplied file 'stepper_xyza.hal' is left out i know its not meant for an xyzC iplementation but all the 4th axis nets are missing
