Hello.
I'm using Mach3 to control a lineboring machine.
The machine is 2 axis:
1 is a stepper motor (Nema 34) for axis X, The other is a 130 servomotor for axis Y.
I don't need to run any Gcode in this machine, i basically only need to jog the motors and run the in "velocity mode" where i choose the speed very specifically.
but i need something tricky, I need to move axis X coordinated with axis Y, so that i choose the velocity of each motor independently.
I know probably mach3 isn't the most straightforward option for this, but can it be done?
Also, the Y axis will either run very fast or extremely slow, at controlled speed, but

All axis in Mach are blended together at the selected feed rate so you need something like an Arduino with custom code to do what you need.

Surely you just need to set a feed rate which is the root sum of squares of the two velocities?
