Ok, so i solved that first problem (i had actually forgotten to set "axes" to 4.
Now I am getting this problem. Seems Axis may not handle 4 axes? Is there another front end I should be using? EMC2 - pre-2.2 CVS HEAD Machine configuration directory is '/home/rhulsker/emcsource/emc2-trunk/scripts/../configs/stepper' Machine configuration file is 'foam.ini' Starting EMC2... iocontrol: machine: 'EMC-HAL-STEP-MM' version '1.15' task: machine: 'EMC-HAL-STEP-MM' version '1.15' emcTrajSetAxes failing: axes=4 axismask=c3 bad return value from emcTrajSetAxes emcTrajSetAxes failing: axes=4 axismask=c3 bad return value from emcTrajSetAxes emcTrajSetAxes failing: axes=4 axismask=c3 bad return value from emcTrajSetAxes emcTrajSetAxes failing: axes=4 axismask=c3 bad return value from emcTrajSetAxes emcTrajSetAxes failing: axes=4 axismask=c3 bad return value from emcTrajSetAxes emcTrajSetAxes failing: axes=4 axismask=c3 bad return value from emcTrajSetAxes emcTrajSetAxes failing: axes=4 axismask=c3 bad return value from emcTrajSetAxes emcTrajSetAxes failing: axes=4 axismask=c3 bad return value from emcTrajSetAxes emcTrajSetAxes failing: axes=4 axismask=c3 bad return value from emcTrajSetAxes emcTrajSetAxes failing: axes=4 axismask=c3 bad return value from emcTrajSetAxes emc/task/emctaskmain.cc 2584: can't initialize motion And then I get the splash screen, but Axis never comes up.
