      I actually have a dual Y motor setup and a single Z
      Can I configure the duet wifi 2 to use the dual z stepper to power the Y's instead?
      so swap the Z for Y
      is that possible?
      Thanks!

        Yes this is possible. You'll have to redefine your motor to axis bindings.

        The two Z motor connectors are wired in series so both motors will get the same current, but their voltage will be halved. If you only have 1 extruder, you could use the second E axis as the second Y axis instead of the dual Z connector.

        Either way, you'll need to use M584. https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M584_Set_drive_mapping
