Re: Umbrella ATC Guidance
I have done an ATC both ways, using the A Axis & stepper is by far the easiest.
Converted to Ether1616 control to allow use of A-Axis for future use. Both setups listed below with macros attached.
A-Axis

This is by no means a definitive guide, both Marty & Gary have way more experience than me.
