I did a 'git pull' and built the 'run in place' version.
I modified the SherlineLathe_inch.ini file to have 2 axis and removed

to [Joint_1].
The patch that Dewey made should have not required any config changes
(nor a recompile for that matter).
It was a tweak to make the Axis GUI understand 3-axis lathe configs.
You had a consistent config that Axis wasn't sure how to handle, and
now you have made the config inconsistent (though if it loaded, Axis
could probably cope now)
That said, the conversion tool was _meant_ to change lathes from
3-axis to 2-axis:
The conversion tool failed to convert my old sherline lathe config. So,
I used the sherline config from git.
The config from git,
/configs/by_machine/sherline/SherlineLathe/SherlineLathe_inch.ini
contains definitions for 3 axis. It contains
HALFILE = core_stepper.hal
...
COORDINATES = X Z
HOME = 0 0 0
...
KINEMATICS = trivkins
JOINTS = 3
The file core_stepper.hal contains definitions for 3 axis.
As as a shortcut to test, I changed my .ini to XZA Axis definition, and
linuxcnc loaded and seems to function.
I plan to create a stepper_xy.hal in my local config dir that contains
only 2 axis and point my .ini to that. Then, I think I have a
consistent config.
When I get that done, I will email them.
