General Mach Discussion / A axis 'stuck' in angular mode
« on: April 21, 2008, 03:03:49 PM »
I am having struggles with my Mach3 controller running a Sherline mill with a rotary table.
My .xml file got corrupted and I went back to a back up file. Everything seems to be working ok except for the A axis.
I'm stuck in angular mode with the A axis. I almost always use linear mode on the A axis, and scale things at the design stage so that a Y in the design is equal to 1 revolution in A on the machine. I just change the Y's in the output file to A's and I'm good to go.
I have the A axis unchecked in "axis is angular" in general config, so it should be linear. I can't find anything else that seems to apply.
Current XML is attached.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks!
