Missing A Axis in $4 firmware setting

I am just installing my Vortex today on my AltMill (MK1) and got to the gSender part of the instructions.

I do not have an A Axis setting in the $4 Invert Stepper Enable Pins option. Did I miss something?
Firmware is 5.0.11 on the SLB-EXT and I am running gSender 1.4.10.

from the instructions:

@whitewolf Corey: I’ve moved your question to the gSender category. That’s not to say that you posted in the wrong category. It’s simply that there is a gSender team at Sienci that monitors the gSender category quite closely.
As an aside, I can’t help but wonder if the NOTE has something to do with this issue. I’m sure that someone at Sienci will tell me that I’m nuts.

On a whim, I installed version 1.4.12 and the option is there so I’ll attempt to proceed with the setup.

I know the instructions say to use the latest but 1.4.10 has been working well for me on both the Altmill/Spindle and the new laser so I did not want to disturb it :slight_smile:

Also, the version used at the time of the videos & instructions was before 1.4.10 so that leaves me confused on why mine did not include the settings.

@whitewolf I thought of that, too. I knew that the instructions that you cropped to were older than 1.4.10. I’ll add myself to the confused pile. I guess as long as it works, that’s the main thing.

@whitewolf this is an issue that we saw pop up on occasion where the machine wouldn’t successfully tell gSender that it had an A-axis so gSender wouldn’t display it. In newer versions we’ve made this more robust so that it shouldn’t happen

Hope that clears it up!
