Mach4 General Discussion / Re: A axis operation in Mach4
« on: May 03, 2016, 01:48:35 AM »I recently made the switch to Mach4 and I've noticed a difference in the way Mach4 handles an A axis move in comparison to what my Mach3 does. For example if I started at A zero and typed the MDI code "G00 A3600" Mach3 would rapid 10 full revolutions and Mach4 just sits there, since A0 is the same position as A3600. The A value doesn't have to be divisible by 360. It works this way and moves only to the equalent end position regardless of the value I enter. The problem is there are times when I would like to turn multiple times around. Is there something I am missing in the configuration file or is this just how the new version works and it can't be changed or forced to behave differently. Thanks
You are not missing anything in the config. Rotary axis is just one of those things that has yet to be sorted out.
