Assuming you unplug the rotary axis when you remove it, you could simply use a normally closed homing switch that unplugs with the axis. Problem with this is it wouldn’t let you use the fast approach, slow home sequence with a single switch. Thaddeus Waldner Newdale School Elkton, SD 57026

Maybe I am thinking too simplistically, but my approach would be: Start with my 3-axis config Copy it add the fourth axis information to the copy change the name of he config to 4 axis. The steppers I used cannot have the motor connected while powered. So this method suits me. --J. Ray Mitchell

Gene, And that is why if you had bought a comparable machine state side from a reputable manufacturer who would have stood behind it and supported it you would have paid 5 to 10 times as much for it. You'd have been paying for those services not just the machine. Todd Zuercher P. Graham
