Slave Motors

Post by aerostar »

I am building a large format laser (2000 x 3000 mm) and need to slave 2 motors for Y axis.
Any idea on how to wire to the DSP board and how to set the software (PHCad)?

I actually asked the question awhile back when I was building my machine. There is probably a small thread about it somewhere. Unlike Mach 3 you don't need to set up a slave axis. The DSP is strong enough to drive both motors off of the same y step and dir. Hope that helps.

I found the link.
