HAAS T5C indexer "B" axis

[Camdude®]

Alrighty then, if anyone is running this indexer do you need to keep winding the "B" axis in one direction or can you use +/- "B" axis values as in B-30.0 or B30.0 to position the axis from B0.

trying to solve a problem here using this thing manually. Machine is running right now so i can't get to it to test code.

Guys just answered my own question, machine opened up and i sent sample code both positive and negative and it worked!!!

no need to reply unless you are looking to up the post count.

Sorry to hear about the problems Phil. Good luck at the new job. I'm very happy here anyway. The only way I'd leave this place is if Boeing were to call me back and that ain't happening any time soon.
