[Emc-users] How to rotate an axis constantly at a given speed?

2014-03-31 Thread Florian Rist
Hi, after I managed to set-up a forth angular axis I realised that I need to be able to command this axis to rotate at a given speed while other motion commands in x, y, z are executed. Is there a way to do this without changing the configuration and setting up as a spindle? Maybe I could modify

Hi Dave What kind of motor? A small DC motor with encode, now connected to a 7i39 and controlled via a 5i23. Currently the drive is set-up as a angular axis A. See the Improvised DC Motor Control using Mesa 7i39? Thread. Greetings Flo
