Hi guys, I am baffled after checking wiring and settings over and over. I have decided to try using dual motors on my Y axis but can't get the new motor to slave (Mach3 CS labs I/PM). I selected Config / Slave axis and selected A in the Y box then restarted Mach3. Then I made sure Y and A motor tuning was the same. I enabled pins 7 and 8 for the A axis and then selected home slave with master axis in the general config.
The new stepper turns when I jog the 4+ / 4- button and also works when I set the steps per revolution function. It doesn't work as if it is slaved with Y though.
Could anyone please suggest what i am doing wrong? Is it a Mach3 setting or something to do with the I/PM controller?
Thanks Chris
