hallo, in my inverted tetrapod i've set the 4 axis as: X Y Z A, in this way:
> [TRAJ]
> AXES = 4
> COORDINATES = X Y Z A
> LINEAR_UNITS = mm
> ANGULAR_UNITS = degree
> CYCLE_TIME = 0.010
> DEFAULT_VELOCITY = 300.00
> MAX_LINEAR_VELOCITY = 3000.00
>
> [AXIS_0] to [AXIS_3]                         **they are equal**
> TYPE = LINEAR
> HOME = 2900.0
> MAX_VELOCITY = 3000.0
> MAX_ACCELERATION = 300000.0
> STEPGEN_MAXACCEL = 375000.0
> SCALE = 5.26142716212
> FERROR = 2.0
> MIN_FERROR = 1.0
> MIN_LIMIT = -3000.0
> MAX_LIMIT = 4000.0
> HOME_OFFSET = 2900.0
>    
but in EMC2 i jog X Y Z with the normal jog speed, then the A with the 
spindle speed. after that, when i'm in wolrd mode X Y Z move, while A 
become the spindle and stay at 0.
i know EMC2 is not meant for tetrapod, but which is the best way to set 
up axis?
i've tryed using XYZU, but i have problems homing. i can home in some 
way (using the menu) but when i change to world mode it says that first 
i've to home all axis.

another question:
i can jog directly the first three axis, using arrows and pgup/down. how 
can i jog the fourth axis?

thanks.
