2 extruders, 2 zmotors ,1 x, and 1 Y
-
I have a duet2Wifi, Bondtech X-2 dual extruder, and dual Z motors that each have a driver, 1 motor each for X and Y, how can i drive 6 motors? do i need a add-on board. i don't want to hook both Z motors on the dual Z driver, as i want to level the independantly.
Thanks

If using both Z motors with only one driver is not an acceptable solution, you will need at least a Duex 2 (this will give you 2 additional drivers along with some other stuff)

Alternatively you could connect a single (or more) external stepper driver.

is the duex the addon card?

ok got the duex 2 on order, is this programmed with the configuration tool in the same way as the Duet2wifi?

You don't need to do anything special about configuring a Duex expansion board. All you need to do is connect whichever motor you want to use to one of the Duex drivers, then use M584 to map that driver to an axis or extruder. https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M584_Set_drive_mapping
