I'm getting the impression that I'm the first one to
actually try post-2.7 linuxcnc on 4-axis foam
cutter hardware.  I've set up 2.9-pre0 from git so
I can start poking in the source code.  2.9-pre0
behaves the same way.  I have verified that axis.x.pos-cmd
and joint.0.pos-cmd both change as expected, but
axis.y.pos-cmd changes while joint.2.pos-cmd does
not.  So something is broken in joint-axis code for
the XY;UV geometry.

Subject: four axis foam cutter 2.8 config

I upgraded our 4-axis hotwire foam cutter to 2.8
recently, and have not been able to get it running
again yet.  The auto conversion doesn't seem to
be quite sufficient for foam cutter configurations.

I now have homing on all four axes working (XY;UV),
but once homing is finished I can't jog U or V.  The
backplot shows motion, but the axes don't move.
X and Y jog properly.  The U and V (and joint 2 and
3) sections are copied directly from X/0 and Y/1
with only the axis and joint designation changing.

Does anybody have a functioning 2.8 foam cutter
configuration I could look at?

Thanks,
-- Ralph
