True wrapped rotary axis was created by zarthcode
I have a 4-axis machine running EMC2, my CAM package seems to have no qualms about spitting out any kind of number as an absolute position for an A axis (Alibre CAM), such as 360.5 instead of 0.5, I disabled the WRAPPED_ROTARY option, so now I can have any kind of arbitrary limit.
However, I'd like for EMC2 to intelligently modulus the movement and not turn a full revolution for a short movement. 0, 360, and 720 should result in no movement.
I saw some beginnings of this here: wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?WrappedRotaryAxes
Was this implemented at all? When WRAPPED_ROTARY is active, 360 isn't a valid position. I would like for any number input to be interpreted without using a post-postprocessor
