    I have a Duet3D controller which has a port for a 4th axis. Has anyone programed the board to run a 4th axis. I am using Vectrics software to design with. I designed a rotary program and tried to run it but it just cut it like it was a flat piece vs a rotary and the 4th axis motor did not run at all. I am using a Sanou 4th axis I purchased on ebay. If anyone has programmed a 4th axis I would like to know how the did it. Thanks in advance for any help.

        @Veti Thanks for the response. I am so new to programming as I think following the link I would screw something up. Is there a possibility of getting a copy of how you did this?

              Feel free to post what you've changed as a sanity check. Once you see your existing M584 command in config.g it should be apparent on how it works. Choosing a new drive letter and assigning a driver number to it.
