    Stepper Motor signals

    Howzit Guys,
    Please help me..
    I don't know how to do 4th Axis programming yet..
    So, I do it the "Switch the cable" Method..

    I switch the Y axis cable into my 4th axis rotating Chuck to engrave the Y axis on the curvature (Circumference).
    Then, switch the cable from the Rotating Chuck back to the a axis cable to index to the next 90*.
    Can I use my Female to 2 Male Cable Splitter and connect my Rotating Head
    to both the Y & A output terminals of my controller Box so I don't have to
    switch cables between runs?
    OR.. will the signal coming out from one output go into the other output terminal also, and damage the axis not being used?

    Is there a free site that teaches 4th axis programing?
    I want to do this scrolling 360* around the Cue Cap.
    Thanks for viewing..
