Is it working properly now?
Depending on the LinuxCNC version you are using you might need sections in the INI fle for [AXIS_0] through to [AXIS_7] but only the settings in [AXIS_0], [AXIS_1], [AXIS_6] and [AXIS_7] will be used.

The important INI file entries for a foam cutter are
Code:
[DISPLAY] ... GEOMETRY = XY;UV FOAM = 1 ... [TRAJ] ... COORDINATES = X Y U V ...

You may need JOINTS = 8

(If you are using the development branch "Master" then it would be JOINTS = 4 as the need for dummy placeholder joints has been removed)

Yes it is working fine now. This is about the third time I edited an XYZA set to turn it into XYUV set but this time it worked. I had all those entries the other times too but apparently missed something.

Time to hook up the electronics to the mechanics and start testing.

Thanks
