LinuxCNC 2.9.0 configuration problem

Hallo guys

have LinuxCNC version 2.9.0 working properly on XYZ configuration.
However when I try to add the A-axis (configuration XYZA) I get the following problem (see attachment)

The failure window appears after the configuration of the Z axis; I'm not able to enter the A-axis config

Does somebody have any idea ? All float parameters seem to be ok where they are required

Also noticed there is only a general setup for the unit (mm/inch). How to set a rotary unit (deg) for A axis ?
Note: A axis is not a spindle, is needed for a given rotation only, thus it would be nice to have it's reference position in deg (this is not really necessary because with the scaling in the axis definition you can set the corresponding rotation in function of mm value)

Thanks for sharing

Can you post the working xyz you started with?

I meant to add the pncconf file is what I need (ends with .pncconf)

Never mind I can confirm the error...

I have a work around:
in the .pnnconf file of the original XYZ file open in a text editor and look for the line: change it to : Save the file and it will now get past the Z page.

I'll look into a fix and look into the angular/linear problem for the A axis.

Thanks for the report

I pushed a (hopeful) fix for both problems, if you use a RIP it's available now, if an installed version in a few hours.
