I should add, I am using Xubuntu 12.04.
Does rtai need to be installed separately to use these modules? I believe
apt-key ran properly and the linuxcnc repositories were added properly.
There were no errors with apt-get update. I am getting errors of the form:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
Linuxcnc: Depends: linux-image-3.4-9-rtai-686-pae but it is not installable.
Depends: rtai-modules-3.4-9-rtai-686-pae but it is not
installable ...
Thanks
Developer (master) version does exactly what you need.
It also has sync homing. See
http://linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/config/ini-homing.html#_home_sequence
You can install master branch from buildbot http://buildbot.linuxcnc.org/
Then try sim/axis/gantry config
