I'm using the same setup on my cnc router that has two y axis. Would it be possible to use one stepper drive for each y axis and be able to home them individually so it can square the gantry?

The answer you got and I also just replied to already answered this
you're also best to square your gantry mechanically, not using the motors to do it.
starting with a good square and trammed machine is best IMHO

Alright thanks. I already squared the frame and gantry. So should I just wire my two y axis drivers to one single y axis output?

Also are the files that crowley posted working with pathpilot 2.14?

if they are not, I can upload my current files for 2.22. I have it working with my spin indexer as well. although I need to figure out how to determine the number of steps to complete a 360 degree rotation

There's a rather large fly-in-the-ointment with dual joint/axis gantrys and PP:
PP is based on LinuxCNC 2.7 before the Joint/Axis changes were merged
so the 2 switch gantry homing/squaring that LinuxCNC 2.8+ can do is not supported by PP
