      Just like the title says. I have a CoreXY printer I just got set up, specifically the Railcore ZLT. It uses a Duet 2 and a Duex 5 to control the 3 z stage motors (connected to the Duex) and the rest(connected on the Duet). The problem I am running into is the 3 motors for the Z stage don't move the same distance, and the two motors running the XY stage are also out of sync.
      On the Z stage one of the motors out of the 3 is moving about half the speed as the other two. They sound fine, no odd noises coming from them. The same thing seems to be happening in the XY gantry as well, when you jog one direction, the print head moves kind of diagonally as one motor isn't spinning as fast as the other.
      I am using the standard config file supplied from the railcore guys. All the motors are the 0.9 degree LDO motors from the railcore kit.

        If you swap the motor that is misbehaving to a different port does the problem stick with the motor or the driver?

          @phaedrux That's the next step in the morning, it almost seems like the 0.9 steppers are labeled wrong or something
