Basic build specs: - 1500mm (X) x 1000mm (Y) x 300mm (Z) - NEMA 23 steppers all the way around - OX variant build - TinyG motion controller
I'm likely blind but what is the best way to connect 2 motors for the X-axis drive? I've seen methods were a terminal block is used to split the signals out of one driver,. But I was wondering if there is another way where you can use the 4th motor driver to power the 2nd X-axis motor as a slave to the motor 1 position. As i have seen other boards that have a slave terminal block that runs in conjunction with the 1st X-axis. Also we are using NEMA 23 motors on this build so i was worried about the draw from 2 motors being split from one motor driver.
$1MA - MAp motor to axis Axes must be input as numbers, with X=0, Y=1, Z=2, A=3, B=4 and C=5. As you might expect, mapping motor 1 to X will cause X movement to drive motor 1. The example below is a way to run a dual-Y gantry such as a 4 motor Shapeoko setup. Movement in Y will drive both motor2 and motor4. $1ma=0 Maps motor 1 to the X axis $2ma=1 Maps motor 2 to the Y axis $3ma=2 Maps motor 3 to the Z axis $4ma=1 Maps motor 4 to the Y axis This may interest you: https://github.com/synthetos/TinyG/...Firmware-Version-0.97#1ma---map-motor-to-axis
