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)
