As the title mentions I am adding a Sherline rotary table and have a few questions. I have read several posts on running the rotary table in degrees or linear, but what would be the easliest/most common to use? I am using Bobcad v23, but pretty new to it and really new to 3d/4th axis aspects of bobcad.
Its currently set up as 3 axis, so the entire 4th axis addition will be new to me. Any other tips or guides that have already been writtten for adding a 4th axis and/or a rotary table would be appreciated. My basic setup is;
Smoothstepper
CNC4PC C23 BOB
CNC4PC C3 Index Pulse Card
CNC4PC C16 Photo Limit & Home board
KBMG 212D spindle drive
5v2a power supply
Homeade linear power supply of 28v8a.
Xylotex 4 axis stepper driver
