Many thanks to both.  Good catch 16, 17 not 016, 017.  That eliminated that problem then it said pin 16 was already in use.  I ommitted the "spindle out pin 16 and 17" then it worked.  
4th Axis Mill opened up.
Can't find control for the A axis and some of the other directional keys have been switched around.  Where would I correct them.
Mandy, Many, Many thanks,

Ok, this must be the end of the road for this topic.  I'll try a new topic as I don't even see the A axis on the screen.
Anyhow, I want to thank everyone again for your help as it was a good learning experience for me.

Regards,

Routerworks

Upload the current files.
Just to be sure, that is a 4 axis/ 5 joints machine where Y axis is tandem?

Yes. The 3 axis setup works fine.
Joints
0=X
1=Y
2=Y
3=Z

It might be working but I don't know what keys will rotate it on screen. the setup has changed what keys affect each axis.

When I us the A axis jog it does move the "cone" A axis.  It only goes from 0 to -6 which looks like the settings for the Z axis in inches instead of degrees.
Getting there, appreciate your help.  Almost there.

Thanks

From the ini file:
Code:
JOUNT = 4
should be JOINT and should be 5
and...............
Why so many
DISPLAY_JOINT = 4
DISPLAY_JOINT_NAME = A
[GEOMETRY]
AXIS_A_JOINT = 4
AXIS_A_TYPE = ROTARY
AXIS_A_LENGTH = 30
[TRAJ]
COORDINATES = X Y Y Z A
LINEAR_UNITS = inch
ANGULAR_UNITS = degree
DEFAULT_LINEAR_VELOCITY = 36
MAX_LINEAR_VELOCITY = 4.00
AXIS_A_JOINT = 4

I have no idea how this is starting, to many things that should not be there.
The ONLY things to change, after adding the 4th axis, are Display if it does not show how you want in the GUI, and TRAJ section.
