    Ref All Home problem with tandon Y axis steppers...

    Hello Everyone,

    Well after chasing my tail around trying to debug another problem, I am finally
    back to trying to home this machine.

    X, Y and Z axis work when using the MPG or entering G Code just fine.

    The Y axis is wide and thus I have a slaved A motor that works just fine in general...

    However, when I hit the " Ref All Home" button, the A axis motor does not move, only
    the Y axis...

    I have tried checking and unchecking many many variations of boxes in the Config section
    without sucess...

    Any ideas, why with the motor Y slaved to Motor A why when pressing the Ref All Home button
    that only the Y motor moves???

    Best Regards,

    Preston

    Are you using the parallel port, or a motion controller?

    Hola Gerry,

    Using the parallel port and someone on another forum said to check the box in General Conf to

    "Home Slave with Master Axis" and now everything is working fine...

    Thanks for the reply.
