Its 2.4ish predecessor I think Tom. This looks to be more complete, fleshed out with better drawings and such, and apparently covering front/back/fanuc well enough to get started with something that works without any _huge_ surprises. Homing and such might need fine tuned, but with the rotation in the last few lines of this .axisrc, even that might work as expected. I note the tool tables orientations are reversed, making those corrections appear to be automatic, meaning it should exec normal front post assuming gcode without killing the shop cat or puppy. :) Whether one would have to invert the "scale" sign in that x axis is TBD, but simple enough to do. A 10 minute youtube movie of it working would be nice!
