I have configured and installed LinuxCNC on RPI5 and I can control individual joint of robotic arm using trivkins. Using PCA9685 as PWM servo controller. Its work good. But I am strugling to get its kinamatic working. Here is photo of my arm with measurements. 
Here is photo of My robotic arm
 

Here are the pin values I used in genserkins
setp genserkins.A-0 0
 setp genserkins.ALPHA-0 0
 setp genserkins.D-0 83.5
 setp genserkins.A-1 45
 setp genserkins.ALPHA-1 -1.570796327
 setp genserkins.D-1 0
 setp genserkins.A-2 100.4
 setp genserkins.ALPHA-2 0
 setp genserkins.D-2 0
 setp genserkins.A-3 12
 setp genserkins.ALPHA-3 -1.570796327
 setp genserkins.D-3 195
 setp genserkins.A-4 0
 setp genserkins.ALPHA-4 1.570796327
 setp genserkins.D-4 0
 setp genserkins.A-5 0
 setp genserkins.ALPHA-5 -1.570796327
 setp genserkins.D-5 58

There is documentation on how to set up genserkins:
www.linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/motion/dh-parameters.html

I can't quite tell from the picture how many joints your arm has but genserkins will only work for manipulators with 6 joints.

I have read all documents and tried to understand DH parameters and how kinamatics works. And read the documents many times to have good grap of the subject. I tried my best to explain geometry of my DIY arm.
I am attaching photo explaining more about geometry of arm.
 

I hope this might better explain geometry of robotic arm.

With all joints in the zero position does the arm point down towards the floor as shown in the documentation?
Maybe you could elaborate a bit on what isn't working.
