Rotary 4th axis rollover on 360, G93, macros

MRob

@t3p3tony Yeah exactly, even if you can include it, it is not very helpful.

So ahhh..... any thoughts on whether this could be built into RR at some point?

T3P3Tony

@mrob I have added it to the list of requests. I can't give a release target yet. Its very unlikely to be in 3.4.

MRob

@t3p3tony Amazing! Thank you! I'll keep an eager eye on this.

MRob

@t3p3tony Looking to start a new build soon, in the design phase at the moment, any thoughts on when these features might be implemented? Not expecting any sort of hard promises obviously, just a very rough eta would be useful! Like 3 months, 6 months etc.

T3P3Tony

@mrob I am hopeful (but can't guarantee it) that we will look at this as part of 3.5.

MRob

@t3p3tony That sounds great!! Although it does mean I need to ask when 3.5 final release is expected :).

T3P3Tony

@mrob while we try to work towards a major (3.N) stable release every 4 months or so, thus far it has pretty much always been longer than that (3.3 stable came out in June for example).

MRob

@t3p3tony Ah OK, so could be around 6 months then, I'll go UCCNC in the meanwhile.

@T3P3Tony Hey looking into this rotary axis roll over as well for my current application did this feature ever get implemented?

@maximyz3d there’s a GitHub issue for this here: https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/issues/780
It hasn’t been implemented yet.

@droftarts Thank you I will look into this GitHub link. Hopefully the feature is implemented soon. In the meantime, I will try to add the functionality so I can learn more about RepRap firmware.
