Rotary output settings

[CutItOut]

I've found similar but not specific enough information for me to figure out how to change the b output for a makino pro5 machine. I would like the outputted code to be between 0 and 360. I currently get code, which is above that 480 and so on. I thought maybe through the control def, but that doesn’t seem to have any effect. Is this a post edit? If so, any help would be greatly appreciated. If it is a post change this is the post header.

 

thanks

Not sure what post you are using, but look for "one_rev".

 

 

code:

---

 one_rev     : 1     #Limit rotary indexing between 0 and 360? (0 = No, 1 = Yes) 

---

This is all I could find. Is this somthing I could add?

if B > 360, B = (B-360)

I'm not following. I dont see this code in the post.

[spade117]

Try adding it and see if it works.

[CutItOut]

Try adding? if B > 360, B = (B-360) if so then where would I add it. I've made some very minor edits before, so your a little over my head.

Add the one_rev code I posted earlier. Add it to the general output settings area in your post.
