It does, i have done it on many configs i am working on. On some you will need to edit the acceleration manually after the conversion, but most work without any issue.

There is a small burb about the updating script here.
linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/getting-sta...ript_for_joints_axes
It looks in your ini file under for an
[EMC]
VERSION = 1
If the version reference isn't there or is less than 1 it prompts for running the update script. I'd make a backup before trying to run the scrip even though it is supposed to automatically make a backup of any files it changes.

Did you give the script a try to see how much of a mess it makes of it? It might be a lot less work to fix the errors the script might make than to try to do everything by hand.

I wrote the script. I intended it to work.

Please try it, and if it fails, let me know how it failed.

And it does create a backup of the existing config, i have tested it on 4 of my configs, all of them worked without issues. On one i had to lower the acceleration as it was set to 5000mm/s/s, although that might have been in the existing config, i just do not recall seting it that high, usually on that machine i have it at 2000.

Andy, thank you.

Ok, Master is now installed. I used auto script and everything seems fine. Also ABSOLUTE_ENCODER_HOMING = 2. I connected halui.joint.N.home pins to machine_enabled pin and that does turn DRO to green BUT I still need to press Gmoccapy home all button before I can jog axes. Why is this?

Because your Ini does not contain

NOForceHoming=1

Norberf

Or just set all joints to be homed!
