Ok, I set up simulated home switches, It will home all of the axis without 
setting any alarms, and after homing I can jog the W axis.  But I still can't 
jog the W when I first open Linuxcnc using the on screen jog buttons.  But I 
can jog it before homing using the [ ] keys on the keyboard.  If I jog using 
those keys I notice that the radio check button for the W axis turns off when I 
do it (no displayed axis selection buttons are chosen).  After homing, jogging 
is back to normal.  I can jog W with the on screen buttons, and keyboard [ ] 
and the W-axis select radio button is selected.  I'm not sure what the problem 
is there.  It seems like an Axis bug to me, left over from the pre-JA method of 
tying joint_3 to rotary axis A.  

How would one report this bug?

As to the freeze ups, after a software update this morning it has not done it 
today.

Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Simulations In Master?

Perhaps a spoke too soon about it all working.

Linuxcnc started with my config using the new sim_parport but I'm running into 
a few bugs.
I don't know if the problem is my config, or a bug in Master.

The config is a 4 axis XYZW config, with only XYZW and joints 0,1,2,3 defined. 
(I really like the way the JA configuration works by the way, much nicer than 
before.)

The problems, when I first start the machine If I try to jog the W nothing 
happens, and this is printed to in the terminal window.

Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1437, in __call__
    return self.func(*args)
  File "/usr/bin/axis", line 2498, in jog_minus
    speed = get_jog_speed(a)
  File "/usr/bin/axis", line 1733, in get_jog_speed
    if joint_type[a] == 'LINEAR':
IndexError: list index out of range

If I then try to issue an MDI command to move the W (which doesn't work since I 
didn't bother trying to make the sim config home-able)
then I can jog the W axis fine (no messages in the terminal window either).

Then after a bit the whole VM seems to freeze up.  I haven't been able to track 
down any clues about the freeze up yet.
