Steve, team, I'm trying to figure out the options for running my stepper as a spindle and getting confused (it happens a lot). I've read this thread and I know I can do what I want with Mach and macros, but I'm not sure exactly how to do it.
I want to run it continually, like a spindle, pretty much just off and on. I don't need to zero it or ever know where it is. I know I need to configure it and the spindle in Mach3, but beyound that I'm not sure.
I see M951, then I see a bunch of references to Swapaxis(6,3). I can’t find the source for M951 (did it get renamed ?), and I’m wondering if I need the little swapaxis board to do what I want.
It's set up, tuned, enabled and running now as 'A'. I know I need to configue the spindle and enable it.
Past that. I'm not sure.
Thanks !
