Another plasma component...

I have not tested new versions of PlasmaC for the last month, so i do not know what could be causing that.
You should really check what are the min_limit and max_limit for each axis in the ini file.

Maybe i updated too early, so has caught some bugs. So i just deleted plasmac_axis.py and everything started to work like it should. But of course i lost all cool axis tweaks.

It didn't a few days ago when I ran the configurator. (after the 18th August update)

Yeah, I know

That was fixed a couple of days later.

I'll have a look at a custom hal file somewhere

I tried but couldn't simulate the behaviour you described. PlasmaC has no control over jogging, that is done by Axis.

I am nor sure what you mean.

Hmm, multispindle is a well kept secret! I think Andy needs to look at improving the docs.
There is nothing about enabling them in motion, a small snippet in the ini file [TRAJ] docs that says:
It is imperative that this number matches the "num_spindles" parameter passed to the motion module.

Then looking for docs on "motion module" this link linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/config/ini-...g.html#_kins_section
says
KINEMATICS = trivkins - Specify a kinematics module for the motion module. Guis may use this variable to specify the loadrt line in hal files for the motmod module. For more information on kinematics modules see the manpage: $ man kins

So then man kins leaves me none the wiser about how to set "num_spindles"

So I am back to square 1 with no idea how to enable multi spindle support after having the system hang while loading.with the value set in the TRAJ section.
