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.

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?
