I am having a really hard time getting smooth motion control out of my a axis, and I think that I should probably use it as a spindle for part of the operation. However, I need to keep track of its absolute position, and be able to return to zero after running it as a spindle.
Using it as an OB axis may be a possibility, but I need to be able to continuously control its speed during other axis moves.
I don't need to know its exact position during the operation, but after each cycle it has to be able to return to its original position.
Is swapaxis still a thing with Mach4? I couldn't find it in the CoreAPI file.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
