5 axis tilted drilling

./my_LinuxCNC_machine.hal:209: Ini variable '[JOINT_3]DEADBAND' not found.

I fixed it in the attached hal file.

Excellent the C axis working properly on jog and mdi mode
if i try to jog or mdi move A axis i have a joint-3 following error as expected
Now we will try to add W axis?

See what you get with these files.

 this is the report

Unknown parameter `coordinates=xyzabcw'

Seems you are running a rather old build of Linuxcnc 2.9 that does not allow for custom axis allocation. Problem is that more recent builds require python 3.7 now and your system is still on 2.7.  Not sure if your debian stretch can be updated to python 3.7. More recent debian releases that come with python 3  require a 64bit processor and yours seems to be an older 32bit. 

The real mystery to me is why you need to define an A axis for the B and C axis to work because clearly there are simulation configs that run B and C axis just fine without an A.

Might be worth to start a new thread asking how to run a config with B and C axis without defining an A axis before changing the computer and everything. Possibly I'm just missing something obvious but I have run out of ideas.

Hello
Thank you for all the help
what is the proper location for this?
General linuxcnc question or advanche config?

Doesn't really matter, either is fine.
