Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] 2 steppers-one axis?

Terry,

There should be no problem, just feed the extra Y driver with the SAME
pulses as the current Y (or whatever) you want to duplicate (wire motor
for the same effective rotation).

http://www.super-tech.com/root/sc.htm "supercam" does this with his
"XYYZ Electronic Motor Controller".
