That’s always the issue, but it’s not. Especially when you realize the lack of knowledge of the different control boards.
Each type of control board is different, so what you know about board A may not represent board B.
If you think the Lightburn people are not very bright, you can continue on down this path. If this was any kind of any easy fix, it would have been done, at least a couple years ago as this has been in discussion since the galvo version has been released.
I don’t know how you think the software would know it’s time to change the Z axes. From what I can tell the rotary on a JCZ board operates differently than other boards. As far as I can tell with the JCZ control board, there is little communications back to Lightburn.
We would all love this, if you know how the controller works along with how to simply implement a Z control, I’m sure Lightburn will listen and you should send an email to support on how to implement this. I’m sure they’d be delighted.
Maybe, maybe not… on the Laser Pecker 5.. they, apparently, can’t really control the rotary either on that machine.
@fins how does your Z control know when to step?
