I would like to have two separate X axis drives never used together. One X drive material past gantry and second X moves gantry.
Depending on the process I would like to use one or the other. Gantry would be pinned to stops when using material drive. Because they will each have their own precision which software would be easiest to switch between. I plan on using the same motors and one controller just disconnecting one motor and connecting second motor. Also software needs to be able to have a couple of GPIO about 6 for Automation purposes.
