how to config multiple steppers for one axis was created by drmacro
Hi,
I googled around a bit and tried to search the forums with little found.
I'm setting up a gantry that has steppers on both sides.
My driver board has 4 drivers and the current single motor setup for this axis is something like:
# Y-Axis Pins
net ydir => parport.0.pin-03-out
net ystep => parport.0.pin-08-out
How do I tell it that:
1. ystep needs to go to two pins on the parallel port
2. ydir needs to go to two pins as well.
Regards,
Mac

After digging around more and reading the docs it turns out to be as easy as:
net ystep => parport.0.pin-08-out parport.0.pin-10-out
Note: pin numbers in above example are not actual pin numbers for any particular controller.)
net ystep => parport.0.pin-08-out parport.0.pin-10-out
