I have gotten 5 independent axis working but I am unable to home them all at once. I have followed the instructions on: http://smoothieware.org/6axis
I compiled smoothieware with make AXIS=5 PAXIS=5 CNC=1 and edit the config to something that works (see below). This allows me to home all axis one at a time. The comment suggests I should comment out homing_order and all axes should home at once. This does not happen.
I am homing using command $H or G28.2. Is it possible to home all axes at once?
Thanks.
