    Slave Axis Problem

    I am hoping someone can help me find my error. I have started setting up a 3 axis router. I got a kflop/kstep setup. I am using 4 motors, axis 4 (chan3) slaved to axis 1(chan0). Everything works perfectly in Kmotion on the step response screen. Both motors, chan0 and chan3 move together perfectly. In KmotionCNC there is a problem. When using single step (regardless of step size) jog both motors move together. When using any other jog or any gcode the slaved motor only moves a few steps while the master motor moves normally. It seems like the slave axis still thinks its the A axis and can be jogged as the A axis normally without the X axis moving. I am not sure what I missed that caused this. Any help is greatly appreciated. I have included is the init file I have been using.

    Re: Slave Axis Problem

    Hi Dave,

    Remove Axis 3 from the Coordinated Motion System as you don't have an A axis. Change:

    DefineCoordSystem(0,1,2,3);

    to

    DefineCoordSystem(0,1,2,-1);
