Will be there a similar plugin for Mach4?

Super great news for 5 axis B/C head - doughty drive head!
I've been working on this this machine design, and now I finally now that it could might come to like thanks to your plugin.

Keep up the good work!

I've already seen successful 3d milling on Mach3 with 5 axis simultaneous milling

Hi,

I'm new to the CNC world, I have a small setup already build around a ESS motion controller.
2 25LPT breakoutboards + 5 TB6560AHQ drivers + 5 small 1amp stepper motors. It's just a basic setup running on Mach4 Hobby (demo).

I've tried a 3 axis setup wich works just fine.
The 5 axis setup I'm trying to setup wold be for 3d milling for a head/head milling machine wich should support 5 axis simulteneous milling. I modeled a 3d basic shape in rhino and generated a Gcode wich included all the 5 axis XYZ-BC, All the 5 motors are working simultaneously and on the toolpath screen in Mach4 it shows the milling path progress, but being new to Mach4 and the whole subject I'm not shure if it's actually a 3d milling process working right.
How can I know if it's right?
This might be dumb questions for the rest of the forum but it's still a lot of fog of war for me at this time.

All well!

Hi there,

I bought an ESS this year and I have already made a small setup with 5 TB6560 drivers, 5 small 1Amp stepper motors and 2 LPT25 breakoutboards. I've tried a 3 axis config and also a 5 axis Head/Head config, I had 2 sample pieces modeled in Rhino for both setups. The 3 axis works just fine, and the 5 axis simulatneous milling seems to work.
 All the 5 motors XYZ-BC seem coreographed, but I'm not shure yet if this a real 5axis head-head 3d milling maching working properly. I'll have to try my Gcode on a similar machine to see how it responds.

The ESS is easy to config and has lots of documentations on warp9 website.

Cheers!
