Future Enhnacement? - Encoder Abilty for All 6 Axes
« on: November 24, 2010, 11:14:07 AM »
I am not sure where you post "wish list" items, but I sure would like to see the ability to specify encoders for all 6 axes. I am currently using encoders and a brain to detect racking of the gantry. The Y-axis and B-axis motors are slaved. I am currently having to specify the b-axis encoder as being connected to the x-axis and that is causing the brain to fire anytime I zero the y or x axes. I could address the problem if I could specify an encoder for the B-axis.

Have you thought of using a seperate encoder board to track the racking? Roger Machine makes a NICE board to do that.

Just a thought, (;-) TP
