    Need to slave slave A axis to B axis..

    Just as the title says....in Mach 3 I only see primary axis options of X,Y Z and slaved axes A,B,C.

    I need to slave A axis to B Axis.

    Can this be done?

    TIA!

    Can you rename your X as B? Although your gcode would need to reflect that. You could try sending the same step and direction signals to both drives.

    Ger21,

    Thanks for responding....

    Verrrry smart man you are!

    I will change output pins in MACH from X to A, and my A to X, change my keymapping, then reflect the change in my postprocessor.

    Thanks so much!!!

    Regards,
    Justin
