In my machines switching to World mode, when joints are not homed, results in error message that joints need to be homed at first. Why on earth can not You jog the joints in joint mode? > And FWIW, I am running gantrykins. In kinematics.hal I have: > setp gantrykins.joint-0 0 #0 = X > setp gantrykins.joint-1 1 #1 = Y1 > setp gantrykins.joint-2 2 #2 = Z > setp gantrykins.joint-3 1 #3 = Y2 With Your current setup You can jog both Y joints in joint mode by holding "left" or "right" arrow together with "[" or "]". > In my .hal file I have: > ... > [TRAJ] > AXES = 4 > COORDINATES = X Y Z I guess You meant INI file. Anyway, I am sure that You need at least 4 letters in "coordinates" line, because You have 4 joints. It is one of the things to be solved in EMC2, but now You just need to add another letter. Most convenient would be letter "A". "U" or "V" will require additional changes in INI (and also HAL) file.
