Changing A axis to C axis was created by my1987toyota
Still being a bit of a Noobie I had struggled to change the ini. and hal. files from an A axis to a C axis.
I have finally succeeded. Why was it necessary? On a PnP the picking head needs to orient the part to
the pad on the PCB. A axis is the wrong plane of opperation for this application.
Right now it's more of a principle of the thing ( making sure the correct axis is
represented ) does it truly matter ? Well it hasn't yet. I am sure it will in the future in my project.
I tried looking around the forum and the manual and I didn't find anything helpful.
Maybe this will help someone in the future. These codes may require some tweaking for individuals applications.
With that said This is " AS IS " use at your own risk I would suggest saving a backup copy of your system before making changes.
Below is the codes I had to change
the ini. file
The hal. file

Hello and thank you for sharing, I also tried the C axis for my lathe, but it is a bit confusing, I try your configuration as soon as possible, I will try with Chinese BOB and servos
:
Small question: are you in port // or on FPGA cards type MESA ?
Thanks again

Hi jpg. I am using the AXIS GUI and Mesa cards. I do have to make a small change in the .hal file . If you're using homing switches
you will need to slightly change the code I have on the current file
from this
#--- setup home / limit switch signals---
net c-home-sw => joint.3.home-sw-in
to this
#--- setup home / limit switch signals---
net c-home => joint.3.home-sw-in
if you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask
you will need to slightly change the code I have on the current file
from this
#--- setup home / limit switch signals---
net c-home-sw => joint.3.home-sw-in
to this
#--- setup home / limit switch signals---
net c-home => joint.3.home-sw-in
if you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask

Hello, another question, I often see examples with the component "ORIENT" ( it is Andy who developed it, I think)
you don't use it in your configuration? I didn't know that you could do without it.
thanks for sharing.

I haven't needed to use "ORIENT" so far. If I do, I will make note of that so others will know as well.Hello, another question, I often see examples with the component "ORIENT" ( it is Andy who developed it, I think)
