How to control 6 axis hobby cnc?

Also take a look at GEOMETRY...
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.5/html/config/ini_config.html
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.

Open source CNC control for parallel kinematic machine tool.
Based on that article I decided to start trying to do it. .The mechanics is already ok, but the control with linuxcnc needs support.
A possible co-worker is most welcome.

making a configuration , is done by using stepconf if using stepper motors .
servo motors are also covered .
machines such as the hexapod shown in that article are already done , and configurations are available
what support do you need ?
we would need to know what you already have built etc ..
and what you still require

Just answer our questions as best you can with as much detail as you can.
looks like you want to build a stuart platform.
This is listed in linuxcnc's wiki:
wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Case_Studies
and in fact I think this is the very machine you are describing:
parallelrobots.blogspot.ca/2012/04/linux...od-machine-tool.html
There is a visual model simulation available sim/axis/vismach/hexapod-sim in the latest release.
Good luck! looks very cool.
