(and uncoordinated movements are already possible using HAL components such as stepgen and PID/Limit3) You need to increase EMCMOT_MAX_JOINTS: https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/af15a4d90e1d51d5309db65fe1c9511e486df411/src/emc/motion/emcmotcfg.h#L23 then recompile. trivkins appears to already support more than 9 joints: https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master/src/emc/kinematics/trivkins.c I can't think of many applications, possibly a serial/parallel "snakebot" based on a stack of Stewart platforms?
