5Axis Kinetic from 2.8 on 2.7x

- I usually use clonezilla to clone my ssd's. I can't comment on how to create a bootable usb as I have never looked into that.

- As for the graphics, you can do some customizing using GEOMETRY in your INI file:

GEOMETRY = XYZABCUVW - Controls the preview and backplot of rotary motion. This item consists of a sequence of axis letters, optionally preceded by a "-" sign. Only axes defined in [TRAJ]AXES should be used. This sequence specifies the order in which the effect of each axis is applied, with a "-" inverting the sense of the rotation. The proper GEOMETRY string depends on the machine configuration and the kinematics used to control it. The example string GEOMETRY=XYZBCUVW is for a 5-axis machine where kinematics causes UVW to move in the coordinate system of the tool and XYZ to move in the coordinate system of the material. The order of the letters is important, because it expresses the order in which the different transformations are applied. For example rotating around C then B is different than rotating around B then C. Geometry has no effect without a rotary axis.

Thank you for this info . I get it .
But I just made a big mistake. when I wanted to save my disk, an error happened. Now I can no longer open linuxMint, it tells me that my "login" is incorrect. I cannot access my session. I only have a "terminal" interface. I am desperate after all this time. I had reached the end.
Can someone help me ??

Thank you

There, I have arrived at the goal. I have developed a 5 axis CNC machine with Trivkins/Xyzac-trt permutation with activation codes M428/M430

Congrats!
I got a basic 5 axis to work and I may look into switchkins at some point.

I can pass you my .ini / .hal files to get started. there is a lot to do, find all the sources the compilers and the TCP machine setting.
I far from being a linux specialist, I was guided in my steps.
Good for now I am stuck, I can not open my linux seccion or is all my configuration. I don't know how to go about it.

Thanks for that offer. I'm not ready but yes please post hal and ini at some point if you don't mind.

Can't help you much there, I'm afraid. But maybe try to explain what you were trying to do and what kind of error occured.

Hello,

It's good, I was able to put everything back in the state, everything works correctly, I just have to machine.
Thanks again.

I will test the backups on another PC ...

Hello ,

So I try to save my system. I tried to install Systemback but I couldn't. could not find the packets, and file.sh does not install on linuxMint ... I tried Clonezilla, and the disk utility that came with LinuxMint, and still the same thing. it tells me that my source disk is busy.
I do not know how to do. Do you have a solution?

Thanks for your help

As promised, I am attaching my .hal.ini files to you. to get an idea . But before you get there you need to find all the sources to complete them and install a Version 2.9 of LinuxCNC. This version supports "switchkins".

Try to follow the questions / answers we had with Aciera in the forum.

Good Neight
