Is there a way to define angle movements in lightburn like ezcad does for angle rotate of a rotary? As an example lets say I have a jig with six sides attached to my rotary and I wish to rotate through those positions and engrave a flat area on each side. Is it possible?
As far as I know the rotary just emulates the Y table, if you can do this on a flat Y table you can probable do it on a rotary.
I think it deals in step/rotation (times a ratio) not directly related to degrees of rotation…
Thinking about it after posting it depends on how many axis you can handle. If you are stuck with X/Y then it really can’t accomplish it with a rotary. You still need actual X/Y and can’t spare the Y for the rotary input. A diode with a real rotary axis could be capable if lightburn had that functionality but you don’t see that option. Not even 100% if an average gantry CO2 has that. Galvo for sure and maybe lightburn doesn’t offer that option unless it is for galvo but they really should.
Doesn’t matter how many axes you are using, if the software doesn’t implement what you want, you’re kind of sol.
This is also true.
