Still wondering how I might make the spindle turn slowly and then stop on a sensor signal. From the HAL file it's set up the same way as the XYZA axis with respect to step_type and control-type. I'd want to set the velocity to say 30 RPM (0.5 RPS) and during a revolution if it detects an inp

The socket doesn't have a groove and it's very heavy. The wrench uses a retaining ring like in this video https://youtu.be/8RmhBd1wcEA but I don't think there's a rubber Oring underneath it. I'll report back once the 12 point arrives. The 6 point is useless for the other reasons I've mention
