Using a Rotary with the workbee and duet original board

Hoping to get some answers , we are wanting to use our Rotary with our workbee, the hardware is already there but we need help on wiring and configuring the software. We have just fitted the original replacement Duet board (our original one had broke) it has space for a 4th Axis and we are guessing the wiring is the same as all the other motors. First question I guess is how do we go about configuring the software to allow us to use the rotary

Hi Clare,

Thanks for your question.

We don't have exact instructions to do this.

However, if you go into the system files, and look inside all the config files, there will be commands which define X, Y, Z and sometimes U.

You will just need to add an extra axis to the end of all the commands for your rotary axis.
