5 AXIS?

You need to review this line as pid.b is not loaded.
In the next few days, I think the devs will release 2.8 which will become the distribution versions so yes, it should be much simpler soon!

Thanks for responding so fast Peter.
I will modify per your suggestion tomorrow and get back to you.

Thanks you for your input as well rodw.

Thanks Tommy.
My understanding from the Buildbot page is that 2.9 is unstable so I assumed 2.8 is the best to use since it says it is stable. Is my thinking off here?
Aren't all of these images only for 2.9 to work?
Maybe it would be a good idea to talk to whoever maintains linuxcnc.org website and put your easy install links in the download section for noobs like me not to have to waste 2 days trying to get things installed.

That is correct, 2.8 is stable and soon to be released, 2.9 or master is still under heavy development and may contain bugs.
It would be very useful if users of LinuxCNC would use 2.8 for production machines and master for hobby/tinkering/experimenting/finding and fixing bugs/adding functionality.
