Help me setting EMC2 for TB6560 5axis was created by recyclebin063
Hello
I have a 4 axis CNC MAX NC then I improved the 5-axis machine with the XYZ axes, B, C with Driver 5axis TB6560
I installed Mach3 for my machine, but on the Mach3 does not support Gcode as G43.1, G54.2 output when I post ......
Now I switch to use EMC2 installed but I do not know how all axes
Please help me install EMC2 for my computer, please guide Photos
Linear XYZ = 1.27

The .ini file is the place to start your setup. It is in your /home/my_username/emc2/configs/my_machine/ directory, where my_username and my_machine will need to be changed to what you have on your PC. Here is a sample, which you should have in the config list that pops up when you start EMC2:
git.linuxcnc.org/gitweb?p=emc2.git;a=blo...yza/inch.ini;hb=HEAD

In the axes section there are four axis subsections. I believe your file will need five subsections for axis 0 through axis 5, but skipping axis 3. Also the TYPE = rotary or linear will need to match your physical axes type.

In the Trajectory Planner Section you will need something like:
AXES = 5
COORDINATES = X Y Z B C

The above assumes that your B and C are rotary axes. If they are linear, use V and W. I haven't setup anything beyond XYZ so I may be wrong on some of this, or I left some important stuff out. You really should read this through a couple of times to get a better idea of what is needed:

Hello,

You may also take a look at some of the sample configurations from EMC2 such as the 9 axis simulator.
Start EMC2,
select Sample configurations,
then sim,
then axis_9axis
This way you can experiment with a working setup.
