If that works then "carousel" will work (though you would need a sequencer too, probably a G-code subroutine, as used in the sim/axis/vismach/vmc_toolchange example config. If you actually need to pulse, then it could still work, by setting the motor control output bits to enable a pulse generator component (siggen, for example) -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
