Also can i run 2 motors to a seperate axis each on the board, but have the 2 motors on the one axis on the x axis of my router, and how can i send the same step and dir to the two motors.
Cheers in advance guys for any response, very appreciated. |
Yes the 4th axis is just a repeat of the 1st, or 2nd, or 3rd.
Yes you can...don't recommend it as they will "fight" each other. Just get a more powerful stepper!
