How does one go about cloning/mirroring an axis on a remix, I need two nema 23's to function the same way on my y axis
How does one go about cloning/mirroring an axis on a remix, I need two nema 23’s to function the same way on my y axis. I am running external tb6600 stepper drivers, and have them all wired as shown here.https://cohesion3d.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/5000744633-wiring-a-z-table-and-rotary-step-by-step-instructions
Do I need to run a physical jumper on the board itself between dr2 and dr4? Any help would really be appreciated.

If you have 1 external driver for the Y, connect both motors to it, if you have 2 drivers for the Y run 2 sets of wires to the same step dir en on the external stepper adapter in the Y socket.

I think I get it. so don’t run it through the board like they have done here. I have a external driver for each and a stepper adapter for each, so your saying use just one stepper adapter from the y axis point on the board to both drivers?

Yeah, that’s smoothieboard and on board built in drivers, this is different.
Our guide is much closer to what you need to do. Yes.

I will take some pictures tonight just to make sure.

That general idea, yes. 5v to the rest and change the pin defs in the config file as per the guide.
