Who here is running a Smoothie with a rotary 4th-axis? How did you compile the firmware? The command I used was

make AXIS=4 PAXIS=4 CNC=1

but after reading I’m not sure that was correct if I wanted the 4th axis to be rotary.

Don’t touch paxis

Ok, so just AXIS=4 should do me. Got it.

Axis and CNC

OH, also… It says to add some stuff to the config like the line below. Is it safe to assume that “delta_steps_per_mm” is actually steps per degree as suggested?

A axis

delta_steps_per_mm 100 # may be steps per degree for example
