See my post today, 11/29/21, Mike
WARNING!!! Don't do as I described and enable switching between stepping motors with power on!!! You'll risk burning out the CPU and/or Driver pcbs.

Thanks for the reply!
Yes, I was light on the focus and measuring beam alignment as it's rather involved as you'll see. I'll try to add it in the future versions. The out-of-focus value was by...
Thanks I'll try those pins.
Index would tie a CAD drawing position to a repeatable rotation position. But not absolutely necessary.
Thanks for the reply. I thought of that but looking at the connector, back to the drive electronics won't tell me much. I would need to look from the drive to a connected motor in the rotary (which I...
I just bought a generic DIY rotary attachment for use with my Universal Laser X2-600 CO2 cutter/engraver. The attachment comes with a connector with 4 pins (required for a 2-phase stepper motor) but...
Hi,
I've been using a CO2 laser engraver/cutter since 2002 and have created a tips and techniques document on what I've learned (and wish I knew before). I'd like to share it. It's really a...
