You're pretty close... from the stepgen manual found at http://www.linuxcnc.org/docview/html//man/man9/stepgen.9.html "stepgen can control a maximum of eight motors. "
You are trying to load "loadrt stepgen step_type=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0", which are actually 9 of them. I see that you only use 6 in you hal connections, so you don't need to load 9 stepgens. Actually you probably only want 4 stepgens the last one driven by A,B or C based on a selection (maybe a M1xx script). Regards, Alex ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ian W.
