Thanks for giving me some context, I might tackle that feature request at some point

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 then G C350 should rotate the C axis the "short" way around.

This has been touched upon a few times in the past:

1. What’s the best way to set up a continuous rotation for an axis?
2. U-axis without limit

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 the IsContinuousRotationAxis function as true for that axis. (Would that be enough to get the desired behaviour?)

Thanks
