I've got a four-axis breakout board that I'm using LinuxCNC's Stepconf setup to drive quite happily - at least in the testing stages - using the supplied sample g-code files. If I try to set up a 3-axis config, Stepconf happily obliges: but the output to the motors seems to be a lathe config, i.e., X and Z axes operational, with Y missing, even though the INI and HAL files look sane.
I can't work out what is going wrong: I've wondered that it might have something to do with the Campbell Designs "Combo" BoB that I'm using - but I can't see why this should be the case. That is purely a guess at this stage, with the software (2.5.2 and 2.5.3), Gecko 203V drives and motors all appearing to function fine under the 4-axis mill config. Removing Drive "A" entirely from circuit (signals and power) didn't make difference. I haven't done anything weird using the stepconf wizard. The drives all had their pins inverted in Stepconf, being 203Vs (and they're working perfectly under the 4-axis regime anyway, see above). How can a 3-axis Stepconf mill config come out at the sharp end as a lathe setup? It's got me beat. Any ideas?
