So, it sounds like the documentation is incorrect, then.


The docs were probably written before the configuration tools were made

Yes, the docs are incorrect, and should be updated.

I have not yet done much testing on 2.9, but 2.8 requires that to be 1.1
Anything else and it will try to run the wizard to change the version.


Thanks, Tommy. 1.1 works in 2.9, too. I had 1.1, at some point it complained, but now it's not complaining.

It's a good practice to use the documents for the branch your using.

linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/config/ini-config.html#_emc_section

I'm using 2.9, and those docs say "It’s a good idea to change this number each time you revise your file."

The 2.8 and 2.9 docs say:
VERSION = 1.1 - The version number for the configuration. Any value other than 1.1 will cause the configuration checker to run and try to update the configuration to the new style joint axes type of configuration.

I think Version 1.1 must be adapted. A while agoo there was something about it here on the forum
