as i've stated. it only tries to home 1 of the two motors

Does the letter matter?

Isn't it just a visual ID?

Not sure.  Either way it's not working for me and I'm not sure why.  It works no problem as a rotary axis, but I'd like to figure out a way to keep position while using it as a spindle and I figure that will be easier if it wraps at 360.

No worries, we all miss things and mess up.
Thank you for helping.

I'm sorry, I missed it

Yes there is a pin, it is way up in his hal file

I've got my machine setup to use a rotary table as the W axis since I already have a C axis on the head.  I've added wrapped_rotary=1 to my ini in both the joint and axis sections, but it's not working.  Does wrapped rotary only work on A,B, or C axis?

I also have the rotary table setup as a second axis and what I would like to ultimately do is setup the rotary table to wrap the axis position at 360 and also keep track of the position while using it as a spindle.  Right now I just use a generic mux2 to switch the joint velocity between W axis velocity and spindle 1 velocity signals using the spindle.1.on and it works great, but I'm not sure how to keep the axis position when it's in spindle mode.  I'm using step/dir servos to drive the table, so I don't have an encoder on the table output itself.  Is there a way to fake an encoder signal from the spindle output to feedback into the joint position?
