M584 configurate more than 10 axis

[Jimmykc]

I have a Duet3 MB and two Duet Expansion so I have twelve stepper drivers. The M584 just can configurate 10 axis (X,Y,Z,U,V,W,A,B,C,D). How do I set M584 if I want to control 12 stepper?

@Jimmykc I think that’s the limit at present as that’s how many stepper motors you can have on a Duet 2 + Duex 5. I can’t think of any particular reason it couldn’t be increased, particularly as Duet 3 can support many more stepper motors, but you will need @dc42 to reply with what that limit would be, and whether the number can be increased. It will almost certainly need a new firmware version.

Don’t forget you’ve also got the E axes as well, though they are handled differently, of course.
