Request for enhancements - Rotary Control

[dspringthorpe (Dwight Springthorpe)]

Thank you for adding the rotary enable control on the main screen. It helps a lot.

It would be helpful to have a control screen that allows to you control the rotary (set zero, rotate it, set diameter, etc) that did not require clicking the start and yes to the focus question. I use the rotary to precisely position pieces (a cylinder with some flat sides) to a certain points, but I engrave them as flat pieces or with cylinder correction. I have on more than one occasion activated the laser when I went to adjust the rotation and started burning my work with the pattern.

I am thinking another window like the laser or material library window that would have the controls available but would allow for the cylinder correction to be applied.

Hope this make sense. It would save a lot of time and several pieces of scrap product.

Thanks

Agree with the feature you suggest, post it and I’ll vote.
I connected the ENA on the microstep driver to a push-on/ push-off button on the rotary, could be used to position flats with a small level for manual positioning, comes in handy for several different operations. I think some laser builds come with a separate power supply switch for the microstep driver or BJJCZ board, I didn’t think of adding it to the build sheet when I ordered mine, pretty new to this stuff at the time.
