I don't know enough to interpret these errors.

Config files attached (the rest are empty), as well as the output from linuxcnc.

I am not positive but You should put yopur jpoint sections in the ini under the axis sections like the following.

Code:

[AXIS_X] [JOINT_0] [AXIS_Y] [JOINT_1] [JOINT_2] [AXIS_Z] [JOINT_3]

I don't know if this makes a difference, I am pretty sure it does, at any rate I would try it.

This structure is not important. so the way the OP has done it is fine.

It was good of Dewey to isolate the error and refer to the docs about kinstype=both.

My comments go right back to when this was all very new. It was certainly an issue with Gmoccappy when I built my config but that was a few years ago and perhaps gmoccappy has been fixed as I know there were a few bugs isolated at the time (some I found).

... which joint is attached to [AXIS_X]...
