I am pretty sure Dave's hexapod is a six axis milling setup. Not a walking
spider robot.

Oh damn, I just sent my reply to Andy not to the list so here goes again.
I just had Ray Henry on the phone and picked his brains. He says tk was
written for the hexapod so one needs to find the hexapod kinematics.
From there is should be easy or so he says. I've never tried it so all

Hi,
I decided to make prototype hexapod cnc for university project.
I've been studying minitetra simulation,I am using Axis display. I do not
understand some points.

You may be able to change that with the [DISPLAY]GEOMETRY line in the INI.

Dear Sam,

I just hope they will go public later, and more will be added.

I'm sure it would not be a turnkey install but clever
