IIRC g17 is xy, perhaps since the joints merge conversion you have a ghost joint in the configuration? The interactions can be "strange", although I'll plead to using more "colorfull" words to describe it when it hits. TLM is now behaving itself but I did have adjust a few things in that dept after the joints merge. From its present .ini file: varname section HEADER: .ini:JOG_AXES = ZX [DISPLAY] .ini:GEOMETRY = XZ [DISPLAY] .ini:COORDINATES = XZ [TRAJ] .ini:KINEMATICS = trivkins "coordinates=XZ" [KINS] And: [RS274NGC] PARAMETER_FILE = linuxcnc.var RS274NGC_STARTUP_CODE=G8 G18 G21 G40 G49 G64 P.005 Q.005 G80 G90 G94 G97 best read with a monospaced font. The reversed order in the first line above "JOG_AXES" is so the jogging works from the correct keyboard keys both BEFORE and after being homed. Does this help?
