I have a PRT, but I am using a stepper motor from a PR model shopbot to run a transformed lathe as an indexer.
For the X,Y my VU setting is 183.347 but *4 is not working for the indexer
VU for Indexer set to 733.388
MA,3.6 - Gives me approx 310deg rotation
VU for indexer set to 916.7328
MA,3.6 - Gives me approx 420 deg rotation
Does anyone know a number that should work?
Also... I use Visual Mill to program the 4th axis, but I am unsure how to define a clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation. The rotation axis for the indexer is along the X, so is clockwise considered the top of the stock turning away from you? or towards you?
