What are the G-code commands to rotate the A-axis?

Post by RotateIt »

I have a rotary installed on a Onefinity CNC. I would like to execute a four-sided Job.

I would use the regular post processor to cut the first side, a regular XYZ carve.
Then I would like to rotate the piece by 90 or 180 degrees.

To do that I would install the rotary post-processor, and swap the Y for the A cables, the machine and Onefinity / Buildbotics controller has only 3 axis, rotate the Rotary by 90 degrees, install the regular post processor and so on.

I am not at all experienced with g-code.
What are the G-code commands to tell the A-axis to rotate by 90 or 180 degrees?

Many thanks
