Disabling the rollover A option fixed my problem.  It's working like I would expect it to now.

Thanks

Yeah, I have rollover A selected when this happens.  Is there anything else that needs to be configured?  It's moving accurately and reading out in degrees, it just doesn't behave like Mach 3 did.

Mach4 General Discussion / A axis operation in Mach4

« on: May 02, 2016, 07:54:40 PM »

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
