Axis is a modern, GL-based interface coded in python

The principal Axis gui sim ini files:

axis.ini             basic demo (in)
axis_9axis.ini       9 axes
axis_mm.ini          basic demo (mm)
canterp.ini          demo for a non-gcode interpreter
histogram_demo.ini   hal-histogram examples
historical_lathe.ini configured with 3 joints (XYZ with Y unused)
ini_hal_demo.ini     ini hal pins demo
lathe.ini            lathe demo
ldelta.ini           linear delta robot
ldelta_demo.ini      linear delta with jog guis
minimal_xyz.ini      minimal set of config items
profile_axis.ini     profiling
random_tc.ini        random tool changer
rdelta.ini           rotary delta robot

Select one of these if you have no functional machine but want to edit some basic configuration stuff or play with one of the LinuxCNC displays.

Additional configurations are provided in subdirectories.

These configurations demonstrate LinuxCNC functionality using the axis gui as the interface.  (The functionality demonstrated may be available in other guis also)
