Foot Pedal to activate Rotary axis (C) in Acorn 4

Post by Philip Venter »

HI Team.

I want to rotate the C axis (rotary) on my acorn 4 custom machine by using a foot pedal.
the idea is to wire the signal wire into the input channel and once stepped on/ activated the C axis will rotate.
The issue is I don't have this option in the dropdown menu where I need to assign this functionality to the input signal.

Is there a way we can do this?

Looking forward to your response.

Regards
