General Mach Discussion / Re: Slave Z to Y Axis??

« on: January 26, 2011, 03:11:08 PM »

Since I don't have an A axis to slave for the 2 motors needed in the Y axis.   Is it possible to slave the Z axis (which i'm not using) to the Y axis to run the addition motor needed on the Y axis.   I'm not talking about driving 2 motors from the same axis.   Just slaving the Z axis to the Y.

Is it possible to slave the Z axis to the Y axis?   I have a 3 axis controller that I want to use to test a plasma cutter.   Is it possible to reassign the pins or slave the Z axis to the Y axis to test the movement as I have 2 steppers on the Y axis and not enough axis on the Stepperworld board to control them.

Thanks
