New firmware for rotary support

[Stroonzo (Jeff)]

Looking at the current rotary setup, U is not an axis option (which doesn’t surprise me since it would not have worked for rotary operation on our controllers).

Apparently Thunder Laser has had U Axis functionality with their controllers:

Ruida 6445G Supports Rotary with new Firmware

Thunder Laser has this (or a version of it) on their controllers as well. When you enable rotary mode, it uses the U axis output instead of the Y axis, so they still can’t be used together, but it means you don’t manually have to switch the plugs.

So I am curious if the “unlocked” Ruida 6445 is going to have that similar limitation (mutually exclusive usage of Y and U).

As far as whether or not LightBurn can or will work with the new U axis functionality on a firmware updated Ruida 6445, that’s a question for @LightBurn.
