    Just set the Y-axis steps per and the plugin will deal with the other axis. The only thing you need to do in Motor outputs is to enable the slave Axis.
    Be aware that with the IP/M you can't home each motor to its own Home switch so you can't square up the gantry using the Home switches and in ports n pins you only set the Home switches for Y-axis.
    -use common sense, if you lack it, there is no software to help that.
