I discovered that the factory Genmitsu controller runs GRBL 1.1 that is only able to support 3 axes and isn’t upgradable to any other controller firmware.
Wait, what??? The Genmitsu 4040 Pro Max GRBL 1.1 controller doesn’t support a 4th axis?!? How can that be? SainSmart sold it to me clearly stating it’s for the 4040 Pro Max. Well turns out that one must do a lot of special tricks to use the rotary table. Yes, GRBL 1.1 only supports 3…
A few weeks after ordering and not seeing the status on the SainSmart web site change to shipped, I sent an email to check on it. And that’s when the black hole of never ending time and money sucking began.
