Super Gerbil
Quote from brianvanh on March 27, 2019, 12:38 amSo, I recently purchased a Mini Gerbil board for my K40, and it is fantastic. I really am having great luck with it so far.
That said, I'm interested in adding a rotary to my machine and I understand that a Super Gerbil is required for that. My question(s) - are there any online resources or documentation around this topic? What rotary to buy/use? How to setup and configure a rotary to work with the Super Gerbil? In my mind, it seems like this might be complicated, but perhaps it's easier than I expect. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

You can use a rotary on the Y axis or use any of the A or B axis. In the G-code tool you need to configure to use the Y or A-B axis. That's all. I will do a blog about this topic soon or even a YouTube video.
