Hi all
Not sure if this is still relevant. I am using this "new" orient comp from Andy (recompiled it as orient2). And I have to say, this actually works great!
The only thing I changed is: uncomment "is_oriented = 0" (otherwise I was not able to run multiple M19 commands in a row).
This changes the behavior of the -is-oriented pin --> So i use the oneshot function to make the signal stay true longer and activate the spindle brake and some other stuff. Might add another input to the comp, so the i"s-oriented" pin can be reset with M5 or an other signal...)
Before I saw this, I had to use tallas83 idea to orient a spindle (which requires much more signals/pins & connections).
This should be added to the main fork in my opinion (maybe this was already done)?
One improvement in my setup would probably be to run the indexing only once (and then change the mode to 0) and after that do a few orientation commands. That should make it a bit faster as a constant rehoming is not necessary after every orientation (espescially if the spindle is not running in velocity mode in between).
