Enable and setup rotary device

[JohanB (J.J. van Ballegooijen)]

Hello,
I’am already a couple of hours searcing on how to enable the rotary device. I have fond that in Edit/Settings menu you can switch on “Show rotary enable on main window”
I have set that to Green but there is notting on the main window.

Is there someone ho can point me in the right direction?

Have you gone to the Tools menu? the third line from the bottom id enable rotary setup. That is where you turn it on and set parameters for your rotary,
There is also an excellent video on you tube covering this. Here is one of many.

Well, I think that is part of the problem. There is no Rotary Setup in the Tools menu.

I have set the rotary device to the U axis in the Trocen controller. Can that be a problem?

[Grumpy_Old_Man (Anthony Bolgar)]

Trocen controllers do not have the option to set the rotary parameters via software, even their own software does not have this ability. That is why you do not have the rotary options in LightBurn. All settings must be done via the controller interface.

[JohanB (J.J. van Ballegooijen)]

So, the controller is the problem! I will try to do the setup in the controller. Do I also Enable and Disable the rotary device in the controller?

[LightBurn (Oz)]

Yes. Trocen controllers do not allow changes to the rotary settings from software. Even LaserCAD (their stock software) doesn’t have it.

Oke, than I have to live with that.

Thanks everyone fot the help!!
