setup for gantry with linuxcnc 2.7.5.

Hi JT,

when doing so linux gives a lot of errors and wouldn't start:
Error in startup script: no such variable, and a configuration error is preventing linuxCNC from starting

I was able to reproduce the bug and a temporary work around is to open a terminal and issue the following commands to start master.

Hi JT,
Thanks for your quick respond, this works , and for tuning this machine i can work with it.

Thanks

Marius

Also note that the key to setting up a twin motor gantry is in setting the [KINS] section of the ini correct.

linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/config/ini-...g.html#_kins_section

If your using online docs make sure your looking at Master.

To update a buildbot deb (the bug was fixed) in a terminal:
And you should be good to go with master again.
JT

Thank you very much JT
Works fine now!

Hello,

this is my 1st post in this Forum. (I'm 36 and a newbie in Linux and LinuxCNC.)

anyway i hope you could help on my issue.
(It can be that it is a misinterpretation from my side)

according that documentation the extended functionality of trivkins seems available since 2.7.4.
Ive installed from actual IsoImage and ran updates so it shows 2.7.8 - but when trying to start EMC it shows
trivkins: Unknonwn parameter 'coordinates'

so i'm not sure if i need to install a different version - to get my Gantry up and running

ok i installed from master (2.8pre) and it seems to work
