    Default Dual 203v

    My question is can I use 2 Gecko drives to run 2 motors on one axis. I was planning on using the step and
    direction signal from the breakout board for that axis feeding both drives.
    Application is for a large 3d printer.

    johnd,

    Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Yes, you can run two motors on a single axis and they can both be fed the same STEP and DIRECTION signals. If the motors are facing each other they will need to mirror the movements, so just swap A and /A on one of the drives and it will move in the opposite direction of the other motor.
