4 axis lathe configuration was created by WRC_CNC
Hello all,
I am working on retrofitting a 4 axis Cincinnati 1410 to EMC, I purchased the motenc card and breakout boards, I have installed them and changed the INI to make the motenc
config example work as a lathe, everything works good so far, My question is:
How do I go about configuring EMC to display the 4 axis?
Even if the other two are just positioning axis so I could use them as a tailstock.
Thanks

It rather depends on what you have called the extra axes. I would guess you have XZ and UW?
Have a look at the [DISPLAY]GEOMETRY and [TRAJ]COORDINATES and [TRAJ]AXES INI file entries.

If you are using an XZUW config then I think it is still the case that you need AXES = 9 and (possibly empty) dummy INI sections for the unused YABCV axes.

Ok the AXES value makes more sense now and explains why it probably was not happy when I changed it to 4.
Yes I would think that U and W would make sense because they are not rotary axes.
I will play around with the INI and see if I can make it happy.
Thanks
