I am a but puzzled too, there was talk of adding it to LinuxCNC, and a suggestion that it might already have been done. But I don't see any "axis2" in the code.

I am fairly sure that it _isn't_ the UI in sim/gaxis, but perhaps that could work for you?

not easily so if it happens again i might have to rethink things. this was on the X axis so not too much mass being moved. the whole machine is pretty light less than 100lbs the X might hit 20lbs if that. most of the weight is the t-slot table and gantry beam.

Yes, from the diagram, that sounds right.

All I can say is WOW.

71 million views for 24 hours of black screen!!!

He has several, at 2 and 14 million for 10 hour black ones.
HOW??????

5i25 has port 2 and port 3.

I would just edit the .ini file and half the STEP_SCALE values.
There may be a bug in pncconf that sets this incorrectly  for it's
test.

I also want to again give thanks for this wonderful tool and to give a peek at what I am working on. I have a 3 axis benchtop mill (RF-45 size) that I converted to CNC a few years ago. .....
I finally decided to just do it better and got a RPi 4b, installed LinuxCNC and have been working on an interface that for most of the way I use the mill can be done without ever touching a keyboard. I'll still have a small wireless keyboard with trackpad available if needed though. This is the interface I'm working on and I think it will suit me. I have the UI sized to perfectly fit the display that I bought to use as much space as possible. Thanks again for the very useful tool.

Thanks for sharing that screenshot.  Sounds like your situation is much like mine:  home-grown, relatively simple mill, with a couple of brain transplants behind it (I've never run grbl, but first code it ran was on MS-DOS.  Really.)  Your UI really looks like it would suit my machine just about perfectly.  I'll be copying it...   unless you feel like sharing, of course!   Thanks for the inspiration.
