Tandem Y Axis in stepconf assistance.

Ok so what im getting is that if two joints have a HOME_SEQUENCE = -1 then that tells the two motors to run together right?

I did do what RodW said to do and from that I figured to add "HOME_SEQUENCE = -1" to the two Y motors. would there be anything else I need to add in the INI files?
Also I don't know if you want to take a look but if you do here it is

Rod, why?
He did not confirm that the machine has switches on both sides yet, so why send him that way, he will end up with a mangled machine.
Then again, i wonder why is it not possible to answer such a simple question...
Again, do not set -1 to anything if you are not sure the machine has switches on both sides of the gantry and that those switches are properly wired, configured, and working.
EDIT:
You posted while i was answering, there are no home stuff set in that ini file.

Well I'm quite sure it has 2 limits on the gantry. I will check tomorrow and I will check if they work tomorrow. sorry for the confusion here I Rod just said read through the configuration manual.

Well he did say

I would imagine that it does. All the documentation suggests so and from what i can see on the other side (Its right up against a wall) It looks the same on both sides so I would wager it has them on both. So im going with yes on that.

 

Ok so I just checked and yes it has them on both sides. They are contact switches and they both work. I have pictures but I don't know how to send them.
