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

OK I pulled from the branch gmoccapy_2.
I have attached the terminal session via mousepad for you to review.
I copied the gmoccapy directory from linuxcnc-dev../sim to linuxcnc/configs directory and named it sim.gmoccapy_2
I tried gmoccapy_XYZAB.ini to no avail. I get errors saying gmoccappy can't handle more than 4 axis.
I attached a second doc with all of the errors.
Please let me know where to go from here.
Aloha,

If you get errors, why do you ignore them?
Solve them, otherwise you will never get a working system!!!!!!

Just ignorant.
Thank you very much for your help.
I have successfully installed gmoccapy with all five axis!
Being that you said pnconfig is not compatible with gmoccapy what is the best way to configure the I/O for the 7i77?

@eightaxis
I am glad, you make it work.
You may use pncconf to get 4 axis and the IO ' configured and edit this file with gedit or notepad to get gmoccapy and the 5'th axis.
I do it that way, I just build a 3 axis machine and edit the INI and HAL files.
First I get rid of all unneded stuff, i.e. in the INI File all the unneded hal entries as shutdown.hal etc.
Second I make the file more easy to edit, I just cut and paste parts arround and split the huge hal file in separate smaler files. I have than a machine.hal file and a spindle.hal and a doors.hal and a toolchange.hal, a coolant.hal, etc. The only problem is, that you need to add all the files in the right order in your INI File, as you may need a component in various files and they are only allowed to be loaded ones.
So good luck.

Would you please post an example gmoccapy ini file that is working in five axis?
I am having trouble figuring out what to keep or not keep or overwrite. Some of it is straight forward others not so much.
Which HAL files for example. I am posting the two ini's I am trying to integrate per your suggestion for your evaluation.

Looks like I need to do the same
with the main HAL files as well. Here they are.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Here is my feeble attempt at combining them.
It has errors: Ini variable [AXIS_0]P not found.

I think that the problem is at least partly caused by you using a simulator config as your sample file, so all the stuff related to moving hardware is missing.
If you have a 3-axis config then adding more axes isn't particularly difficult.
The INI will have three sections like
[AXIS_0]
...
[AXIS_1]
...
[AXIS_2]
You just need to copy and paste those a few more times up to [AXIS_4] (for an XYZAB machine, you would need to go as far as [AXIS_5] for an XYZAC machine)
You also need to change the entry for [TRAJ]AXES and the [TRAJ]COORDINATES to XYZAB.
Then in the HAL file, you will have entries for the connections for each axis. Again, just copy and paste them and increase the index numbers for things like encoders and INI file entries.
It might help to know that, for example, your error message
./core_sim_XYZAB.hal:52: Ini variable '[AXIS_0]P' not found.
mean that in line 52 of the HAL file core_sim_XYZAB,hal file the code is looking for an INI variable that is not there.
ie the HAL has: setp pid.x.Pgain [AXIS_0]P
but the INI file does not have an entry called P in the [AXIS_0] section.
