Continuous rotation axis for "CoreKinematics" machine
Hi all,
I am interested in specifying a continuous rotation axis for my multi axis machine. It's kinematics is configured using a motor-to-axis matrix in the M669 command (ie. the CoreKinematics class in the code).
Specifically, I have a rotating bed (axis "C") on my 4 axis printer which I would like to rotate infinitely. Eg.
G1 C10
thenG C350
should rotate the C axis the "short" way around.This has been touched upon a few times in the past:
However, as far as I can tell, there is no way to configure an axis as a continuous rotation axis.
Am I missing anything? If not, I am happy to add an extra parameter to the
M669
that specifies if an axis should be a continuous rotation axis and sets theIsContinuousRotationAxis
function as true for that axis. (Would that be enough to get the desired behaviour?)Thanks
