How to change B axis to A axis when you generate post?


Recommended Posts

not sure i should answer this as im not a post master, just mess with the default post through trial and error.

 

i modified :

#Rotary Axis Label options
use_md_rot_label : no$  #Use rotary axis label from machine def? - Leave set to 'no' until available
#srot_x       : "A"   #Label applied to rotary axis movement - rotating about X axis - used when use_md_rot_label = no
srot_x       : "B"   #Label applied to rotary axis movement - rotating about X axis - used when use_md_rot_label = no
srot_y       : "B"   #Label applied to rotary axis movement - rotating about Y axis - used when use_md_rot_label = no
srot_z       : "C"   #Label applied to rotary axis movement - rotating about Z axis - used when use_md_rot_label = no
sminus       : "-"   #Address for the rotary axis (signed motion)

 

i just skipped the srot_x line and changed it to output an B instead of an A.

i know nothing about the post you have but everytime it now sees pfcout, instead of A0. it outputs B0. Maybe the opposite will work. but i dont wanna crash any machines either.
