Category: PnCConf Wizard
Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction.
Yes, any AI I asked eventually started hallucinating code that broke things.
I did have someone send me a template HAL & INI set for the machine I am using (a Platform CNC with upgraded linear rails. Excellent hardware, currently being let down by confusing software, and its operator.) I was able to cobble something together that mostly worked, after much iteration. Since this was done manually, it didn't help me with learning and using PnCConf, which I would prefer.
At this point I have everything moving, but until I sort out homing, the Y & Y2 axes are not moving in unison. They are seen as separate Joints 1 & 2. I assumed there would be some way to simply lock them together as one gantry joint(?), but apparently that's not how LinuxCNC works.
