Centroid Community CNC Support Forum

Hello,
I have a rotary axis as well as a A/C trunnion. I would like to switch between these and no rotary depending on the job.

Currently P131=11 or 31 allows for me to turn on and off A or C axis, but not both.
It would be nice to be able to cycle between (X,Y,Z), (X,Y,Z, A) and (X,Y,Z,A,C).

Perhaps a hundredth's digit in P131 to select a second axis to toggle? So P131=113 where the first digit is N, M, or @, the second digit is the first axis, and the 3rd digit, if any, is the second axis.

Thanks!
Chris

for now you turn on and off 5,6,7,8 axes by turning the drive letter to "N" in the motor setup screen.

alternatively it is possible to write and App using the Centroid APi to do what you want.

in future cnc12 we are considering reworking P131 to allow for more customization.

Item #2 sounds like a good rabbit hole, thank you
