    Hi there! I wonder is it feasable to implement a turning axis () with xPRO V5 controller? Obviosly the controller does have merely Z, X, Y anc A axises and no extra one. But maybe in substitutioin for the extra truning axis is possble to use the Y or A axis's slots for an example? Dose someone experience with that?

    the 'A' axis is by definition a rotary axis. (XYZ are linear cartesian axes, ABC are rotary, and UVW are linear cartesian again, parallel to the XYZ)
    however, it is probably mirroring the Y axis, this may be set in software or in hardware with a jumper, the xPro manual/website will tell you.
    Surely the xPro website knows about configuration for a rotary axis? They must have a howto there somewhere....
