Just got the time to try it out. Looks like stock firmware other than the Axiom logo at the start. My parameters restored fine except for homing order. But it never does.

Unfortunately, I still have the same result so I'll definitely have to get a hold of someone at RichAuto.

Thanks for the attempt.

So.... I have to ask if you changed the RT parameter after installing the firmware? :D

Yes. That was the first thing I changed after making sure all of my parameters where correct.

Email sent. Hope it works for you.
Can I get a copy of that firmware update too?
Have similar issue.

Thanks for the file. Still no fix.... I have never been able to locate an "RT" setting on mine, which sounds like it would easily fix my issue.
I did find a new version of the firmare, q13-1338. still didn't fix it.
Someone on another thread, referring to this one, suggested changing my roughing to 90 degrees... about to try that.

thanks to all

I have a Laguna Swift 4x8 with the rotary A axis along Y. The CNC uses the RICHAUTO A18E controller. ASPIRE V10.x
The rotary cuts give unexpected results for radial cuts, spirals, anything where the A axis has to rotate during the cut. This is both the profile and pocket cuts.
models and cuts along the Y axis work ok, circles or curves work ok as well.
The wrapping gadget RASTOR works, will not work when RADIAL is used.
When I look at the GCODE, a spiral will generate two lines of code, start and finish. the cut will run the length of the Y axis but will not rotate during the cut.
for curves that work, the GCODE generates much smaller segmented code, that code seems to work though I can't tell if the rotary is turning between the segments or during the segment.

Laguna have been helpful but have had the issue for over a month. The trial code that is working is generated by other software, so far the post processor for ASPIRE is troublesome.

Anyone using the A18E (handheld controller) for rotary without issues?

Thanks in advance for your help

Has anyone solved this? I'm having the same issue..

thanks
