That requires you build customized M6 remap and subroutines to accommodate your desired functionality. The on screen graphics can be triggered with simple commands in the sub routines. Any specialized tools for instance that cannot be stored in the atc. such as a fixed spindle or large fly cutter for example that won't fit, you would currently have to add exceptions for those tools in the subroutines.

Thank God for that, I could just imagine what B.S. windows would add to it.
 

Hello Will,I am also new to the world of LinuxCNC and servos. It can be a lot to take in. I have been working on a Marco Reps clone box as well and have a thorough walkthrough for the process so far. I'm stuck on getting gantry mode working but it looks like you won't have that problem. I have also provided two config files. The modello config is setup as a gantry mode, but I have tried a probe basic config with 3 axis in trying to master/slave the gantry servos via RS 485 cable rather than in LinuxCNC. That should work for your system. You will still need to comment out various bits in the files regarding the LS510 VFD and the xhc-whb04b handheld controller if you are not using this hardware. I am leaving for vacation today but let me know how you get on.
