No need, since 2.8 the joint/axis is implemented in LinuxCNC, so just choose "tandem joint/axis" in the wizard.

?? It is a usual setup, each X-ballscrew having its own stepper and home. For small corrections I could of course use HAL and change the HOME location a bit. The whole X bridge is very solid though (has 20 mm linear rail and two linear bearings on each side, and a profile of 160 x 95 mm aluminium), and pushing manually I cannot rack it more than about 2 mm. I have not measured yet if it is out of line more than that, so I'll do that first, might work. I found the matrixkins source, no mention of dual axis there. Looks modifiable though.

Hello,
i have a b - axis and i want to home the axis at the same time as the rotorhoming seqence is running (bldc component) 

I run a etel ddm with a 8i20 and a siko encoder with index

Any ideas?

Thanks

That ECP5/i5 board is VERY cool.

On your Git page you mention the network interfaces are not supported, do you mean we can't use a Wiznet module or are you referring to the 30pin ethernet connector on the dev board ?

Having over 100 IO pins available is definitely the dream, is programming as easy as the tang nano? Will it program via the USB-C connector within Riocore like the Tang?

Would there be any advantage in getting the i9 module over the i5 for our purposes ? It works out more expensive but not too much.

Cheers.
Russell.
