TCP 5-axis kinematics

this gantry mill has part of the function i am trying to describe in that z axis becomes w and i assume that u and v can behave in the same manner ie perpendicular and at right angles to each other then be substituted as x y z when switched to 3 + 2

Ah, yes that's true, I had forgotten about the U,V,W axis implementation. However I'm uncertain as to how it is implemented. I wonder if W is handled in the kinematics of that gantry simulation.

Hello all,
I am a newbie on linuxcnc, Ihave made and configure a 5axis (XYZAC) machine, made an ATC,, auto tool length sensing, etc, etc, program everything and that works on the main branch in "normal" kinematic, with TCP configure, a limitation appears ( couldn´t move the rotary like i wanted to acheive what i needed), so i found this nice branch, very pleased with everything just I have troubles with more axes ( like controlling my ATC carousel ), well don´t work at all, before homing everything ok, I can move every axis linear and rotary, after homing, I lost my 6th axe , the W ( the carousel). I was trying to find something to send HAL command to move it, and no, i can´t find any info on that.
UVW are completely disabled with the switch kins mod I tried the dgarr/s_kinsv2 thinking V2 thinking it would be even better ?
any idea people ?
thank you !

In dgarr/s_kinsv2 xyzac-trt and xyzbc-trt kinematics do handle all optional axis letters. (As long as they are specified in the ini file.

But maybe we could continue about dgarr/s_kinsv2 over here:

It often makes more sense to not have the carousel as an axis. Have you seen the "carousel" HAL component, which is intended to take control of the tool changer and its motor?

I'm using switchkins. I am impressed with your efforts.
I made a machine with Y-axis gantry.
I want to make the Y-axis home switch separate on the left and right to make it square automatically, but it seems that I can not increase the number of joints.
What should I do?
