Hi all,

In a nutshell, I'm trying to decide if I want to drive my gantry with a single stepper or 2 separate steppers.

Question: If I choose to use a single stepper, the smoothieboard (individual drivers) won't handle the current I expect to need. Their website makes mention of slaving one of the drivers so that 2 steppers can be driven. BUT, can I use this method, but also parallel the driver outputs so that I can double the current to a single larger stepper motor?

It makes sense to me, but I'm not getting any hits on my searches, only hits re: 2 steppers on one driver, or slaved steppers.

Thanks everyone
