RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: DeskNC limitation

Donald,

Couple of questions:

Did you ever figure out how to get DeskNC to act like it is going around the
circle on the A axis or does it still go to increasing negative numbers when
you jog backwards from zero? The release I played with seemed as if it was
handling the A axis as just another linear axis.

How exactly are you using this rotary table? I know you told me some, but I
am not exactly clear. If I remember correctly you are wanting to drive it
totally independent of the other axis's on the machine. Sort of like an
automated dividing head. If this is correct so that all you want to do is
rapid to the next position and then just hold until you command another
rapid, it would not be very difficult to write a little Q-basic program to
drive it.
