Title: Squaring Gantry with 2 Home Switches
Post by: kolias on December 13, 2015, 07:37:58 PM

One of the many good features of Mach3 is squaring the gantry when you have 2 motors moving the gantry on Y & A with 2 home switches on each axis

Does this feature also works if you only have one motor moving the gantry on Y with 2 home switches on each side?

If it does, how would you configure the Y to be slaved to what?

How are you slaving 1 motor?
And how does one motor move each side of the gantry separately?
