Report a current motor encoder positions to the host in units of arc degrees (1/360'ths of turns), relative to some reference position that you set with the S parameter.

Before the first call with the S parameter, the reference is unknown and arbitrary.

Parameters

• Pnn Motor driver number, or board address and driver number. Several (remote) drivers may be specified, separated by colon. No more than number of visible axes, as specified by M584 P parameter, are allowed.
• S Sets an encoder reference point. Current and subsequent M569.3 Pn.n calls returns numbers that are relative to the M569.3 Pn.n S call.

If P is not supplied, an error is returned.

A maximum of four CAN-connected drivers can be reached with M569.3 counting from machine boot. CAN addresses that fail to respond don't count towards this maximum.
