Title: Tuning Slaved Axes Motors
Post by: AlbertaClipper on January 04, 2017, 11:24:28 AM

What is the procedure for tuning the two motors of a slaved axes? Do I tune each motor individually while unhooked from the axes? Or do I tune the motors while hooked up to the axes (gantry)? Should the velocity, acceleration, etc numbers (of the two identical motors) on the Motor Tuning Config pages be the same?

Thanks,

Mike

The motors, drive settings, steps per, velocity and acceleration should all be identical really.

The setup should be tuned as one item so get the slaving working correct, set the steps per and tune from there.
