In the intercon line setup there is place to fill in the speed for the X, Y and Z movement. There is no similar input for the rotation of A axis. Sine the end point of the rotation must timed with the end point of the x y and z it is logical that there is no independent A Axis speed input. Interion ...

Is it possible to operate the 4th axis without limits? If I just wanted to spin the axis continuously how would I do it?

Thanks

I have one the boards with a dual function led "heatrbeat". At present I have a blue light on the beagle board that is not blinking but the "dual purpose" light on the acorn board is blinking between two colors... red/green. What does this mean?

Tech2 states "I think there is some confusion about how the open collector screw terminal outputs on H2 and H3 work. They don't supply any voltage. They pull down to COM/GND to turn on. Therefore they are whatever signal voltage you supply as a pullup voltage(5,12,24)." Question is.. Is th...

Keith... The 24V connection did the trick. When I power up the board and the leds for the port my mind skiped over the 24V connection. Thanks abundle

I have a new question but will do a new post Thanks Mike
