You can click on the !image icon to open Axes Settings, and enable DRO for the A-axis.

Hi,
that I already discovered.
But I was looking for A+ and A- buttons, the same as with x, y and z.

Another problem with the already existing A-Axis display is that it doesn’t update its position when changing the Axis via command line.
When I enter G1 A22 for example, the display will still show 0.000mm instead of 22mm/degrees.

There is not enough room to add A+ and A- buttons within the Axes widget, I may do something like this to save more space:

For your DRO problem, are you running TinyG on an Arduino Due? It seems I forgot to turn on posa and mpoa for status reports (source code). I will fix it in the 1.9.0 release.

That little + and – helps alot.
Personally I don’t use the diagonal arrows much, so there might be some room for the A-Axis there.
But that’s probably just me.

Waiting for the next release.
Thank you

The movement for the A-axis should use units of degrees (°), neither mm nor inches. I will correct the display units as well.

what do you think about including the A axis as a row (A+, A, A-) next to the Z row? The buttons predefined pos, work pos and machine pos could be smaller from point of view

That’s a good suggestion. I can try to use 3 different icons (incl. tooltips) or dropdown menu to render predefined pos, work pos, and machine pos, that will save a lot of space to include navigation buttons like A+, A, A-.
