This is a simulation of an XYZBCWY 5 axis bridge mill. Example demo: 1) $ linuxcnc 5axis.ini 2) F1 ---------- Estop off F2 ---------- Machine on CTRL-HOME --- home all F5 ---------- MDI tab 3) orient vismach gui as required 4) g0w10 ; retract w 5) g43h100 ; tool offset (100) 6) g0b45 ; tilt 45 deg wrt z 7) g0c30 ; rotate 30 deg in xy 8) g0w-10 ; simulate drill 9) g0w10 ; retract drill 10) etc Note: Motion for the W coordinate is incorporated into the motions of the joints used for X,Y,Z motion but a corresponding joint.5 is needed to correctly display W values. The joint.5.motor-pos-cmd should be looped to the joint.5.motor-pos-fb and joint.5 should use immediate homimg (HOME_SEARCH_VEL = 0). The 5axis.ini illustrates how to use multiple (2) joints for the axis y coordinate. Configuration for XYZBCWY (7 joints total) J0: X J1: Y J2: Z J3: B J4: C J5: W J6: Y
