Greetings all;
I am about to add an axis B to my go704, replacing the one the new atpid
burned up, apparently is not compatible with an angular axis.
my present hal setup has the old B on pwmgen.0 and the spindle on
pwmgen.1, IIRC because I needed the 2 direction pins for the B axis that
were only available on pwmgen.0, but if I enable another stepgen, it
replaces pwmgen.1 requiring I put the spindle back on pwmgen.0. I can do
that ok and take pwmgens=2 back out of the loadrt line that configures hm2.
My current B axis I note is defined as the A axis because at some point,
the axis's defined had to be in order, so all the config/hal/ini stuff
calls it axis A joint 3, but the interpreter runs it as axis B. It, like
the old servo, spins the X axis, but will no need stepgens=4
Is there now a way around this axis order limitation so I can actually
define it as XYZB now? That ability to skip an axis would end a lot of
confusion here.
Thanks.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
