please help five Axis with Vismach simulation and Mesa 7i96S was created by Alex
Hello,
I worked with 4 Axis simultan on Mach 3 and Powermill and want now do 5 Axes.
I Have self made machine with 5 Axis and all axes are mooving with linuxcnc with the Mesa 7i96s. I added successfully the 5th axis C to xyza
Now I do not find out, how to configure that i can include the Vismach xyzac Simulation.
Would be wonderfull if you could help me make it running
Thank you
PS: i worked a lot in Powermill with the surface Projection Toolpath and making Surfaces. If I can help, ask me

I have not done this but I think I would start with a 5 axis config from pncconf, editing the axis names as appropropriate if your kinematics is not supported.
I would then make a copy of your desired vismach simulator into its own config folder and edit it to suit your machine dimensions etc.
Then I would cut and paste from the pncconf config into your vismach config so its all connected to your real hardware.

you will need to connect the joint position hal pin to the respective vismach hal pin.
This can be done in either the INI or a hal file.
For an example see
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master...ilting/xyzac-trt.ini

For an example see

# vismach xyzac-trt-gui items
HALCMD = loadusr -W xyzac-trt-gui
HALCMD = net :table-x joint.0.pos-fb xyzac-trt-gui.table-x
HALCMD = net :saddle-y joint.1.pos-fb xyzac-trt-gui.saddle-y
HALCMD = net :spindle-z joint.2.pos-fb xyzac-trt-gui.spindle-z
HALCMD = net :tilt-a joint.3.pos-fb xyzac-trt-gui.tilt-a
HALCMD = net :rotate-c joint.4.pos-fb xyzac-trt-gui.rotate-cPlease Log in or Create an account to join the conversation.

Most important: You have to modify the postprocessor to enable tcp.
With 5 Axis you really want to use tcp.

Now it is running, i made ini and hal with Ki.
When running a toolpath in Vismach simulation it shows perfect but the machine makes strange things.
In fact I have not reaaly a plan what setting i need in Linux for 5 Axis...
Scale is correct

Yes, sorry, , Thanks for your aanwer. I m still strugeling to make Vismach going. ....I
is there any description for Vismach 5 Axis for a Linux newbie? I think the AI made mistakes....
Right now I found out my toolpath from Powermill is alredy with RTCP
How can I turm off RTCP in Linixcnc?

For basic information on your configuration you need to post your .hal and .ini files without that we are just poking around in the dark.
