Re: 4-axis control

Hi Fred,

5 linear axes. I will actually be using 3 as normal XYZ and the other 2 as
rotary (dividing head and horizontal rotary table) but, because of the odd
gearing I am using to get exact divisions of watch and clock gears and the
fact that I am using steppers it would be easiest to treat angles as numbers
of steps and hence linear distances. If you finish up going with a majority
that want degrees or radians for the ABC axes, it would be useful if you
could include some kind of variable which I could adjust to get a reasonably
exact conversion for my purposes.
