A-Axis Setup in Mach4
« on: May 05, 2016, 10:33:20 PM »
I am using a PMDX-411 with MACH4 to run a single A-axis on a glue machine i am making.  First Is there any MACH4 documentation on how to set up the A-axis to degrees and how to get motor configuration properly set up?

My stepper driver can micro-step from 400 to 25600 pulses per revolution.  What is most accurate way i can direct drive my fixture and have MACH4 move my stepper accurately ... say 30 degrees when I give a G Code of A30?  I have spent a lot of time trying but i can not seem to get my G Code commands to get even close to a proper degree movement on my stepper.

Any help i sure would appreciate!
