    So, no decent homing/squaring function on the dual-motor axis. It just copies master step/dir signals to a second slave output. A bit disappointing. I had hoped that they had copied at least some of the IP-S firmware to the IP-M but apparently not. Still, we've already discussed "manual" homing techniques, so maybe it's still worth going IP-M for build quality/performance, etc.
    Yes correct but don't be too diappointed because the slaving works well, as you'll see in the video and remember this is just a Beta version of the plug-in.
    I mention my view on this this in the video so I won't repeat my self.! . . . . Watch the video.

    Edit: Also don't be put off by Nah sayers who have no experience of using these controllers.! . . . . They wouldn't be so Negative if they'd used one. This exactly why I try different controllers or products and make my own mind up rather than listening to others because there are too many people too quick to knock or recommend products they've never experienced.
