Podt processor with rotary axis as B
Podt processor with rotary axis as B
I am adding a rotary axis to my cnc with Mach3. A is slaved to X. So my rotary axis is B. The processors I see only refer to A. Is there one that would be wrap Y2B? or can I edit an existing one? Thanks,Tommy

do I change every A I see to B? looks kind of confusing to me.

Tommy,
Can I ask
Why does it need to be called B

Re: POST PROCESSOR WITH ROTARY AXIS AS B
What should I use to make the changes? I tried using Word but then I can't save it back as a .PP file.

Re: POST PROCESSOR WITH ROTARY AXIS AS B
I use Mach3 and A is the 4th axis.
I have a dedicated seperate drive for rotary so I do not swap axis's Still it is A
I think you may be able to change it in Mach 3 settings, but I am not sure exactly where.
GER21 is the Mach3 guy.
Have you asked the question on the Artsoft Mach3 forum?
