Hi everyone, Well I've finally gotten around to adding a rudimentary 4th axis to my minimill. I've just started trying to figure out how to make AXIS and EMC2 spin it, so far without success. (For some reason, after I've banged my head against a config issue long enough to get something goin

Of course, if I had actually read and understood the entire previous message, I would have noticed that you have emc2-dev installed already. Time for more coffee. :) - Steve - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc

I found that "make" is a separate application in Synaptic. So for those that want to create their own components, you need emc2-dev and make from Synapic or "apt-get install XXX". Kirk Wallace - This SF.net email is sponsore

Yet again you had me scratching my head. "state" is a name used internally by comp, so you get weird compile errors when you also use it for a parameter name. I changed the name to "state_" through the whole file, and also fixed a few other typos. You can find my "corrected" version below. Jeff
