5 axis configuration was created by fery15sty

I'm sorry! Maybe my English is not good, but I hope you can help me

I'm from Indonesia, and i'm is beginners about linux cnc.

I tried configuration 4 axis (X,Y,Z,A) through stepconf on linux cnc, and I know.

But i confused how to configuration 5 axis or more.

I use 5 axis breakout board such as this image;

You may not be able to configure a 5-axis machine in Stepconf.

You probably have to edit the HAL and INI files directly.

You basically need [TRAJ]COORDINATES = XYZAB (or XYZAC) and [TRAJ]AXES=5 (or 6 for XYZAC)
You then need to duplicate the INI file entries for the A axis ([AXIS_3]) for the B axis ([AXIS_4]). With an XYZAC configuration you need the B _and_ the C {[AXIS_5])

Then, in the HAL file you need to duplicate the A axis setup for the extra axis, changing signal names and joint/axis numbers.
