Need testers for gmoccapy_5_axis

Hi
I am ready to change from the Axis gui to gmoccapy on a DMG 5 axis machining center that I retrofitted. I have the gmoccapy gui running on a turning center but that version only supports 4 axis control.What is the best method to use for the install? I would like to find someone in the Southern California area to assist with some issues that I have with the ini file as well.
Thank you
Gary

The most resent version is the branch gmoccapy_2,
it is far away from being finished, but IMHO it is running stable.

So feel free to pull and build that branch.

Hello Norbert my name is Josh.
Thank you for spending so much time making a great GUI and especially for making it 5 Axis capable.
I am a complete newb to Linux and LinuxCNC and am retrofitting a 5 axis Bostomatic VMC using Mesa 5i25 and a 7i77.
Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I am trying my best to find all of the information on this website but am still having trouble.
I have successfully loaded Linux and Linux CNC into the PC. Went through pncconfig(couldn't choose gmoccapy as the option was not present) (also had to choose only 4 axis as 5 axis was not an option)
I have also followed your directions at the beginning of this thread. Everything for gmoccap_5_axis seems to have downloaded compiled and installed without issue.
When I start Linuxcnc I don't end up with a 5 axis version of gmoccapy.
What do I need to do differently?
Aloha

what config did you start?
Try gmoccapy_XYZAC.ini from sim folder.

stepconf does not support gmoccapy, you hgave to wait for Chris to add that feature.

Did you do a . ./scripts/rip-environment before starting linuxcnc from the terminal you build it?

Norbert

I will try gmoccapy_XYZAC.ini I had no clue to do so. I will tryi it tomorrow and get back to you.
I did copy your instructions verbatim on the first page of this thread and the rip-environment thing did seem to work.
Is there a way to verify I did it correctly?
Please excuse my ignorance and thank you for your help. I learned about the locate and find commands today in linux and when I try to locate gmoccappy_5_axis it shows up in just two locations.

Aloha,
Josh

@All,

the newest version supporting 5 axis is now branch gmoccapy_2, please update.
There are some changes on the inner part and that version will be one of the next releases.
We will need to find a new name or a way to distinguish version 1 and 2.

Recommendations welcome!

Norbert
