Switching Y and Z stepper outputs on Duet2?

mcscott

Hey gang! First time caller, long time listener, and all that.

I'm working on converting an existing printer to a Duet2 WiFi. The configuration is dual opposing Nema17 steppers on the Y-axis, and a single Nema23 for the Z-axis.

What I'm wondering is since the Duet2 has outputs for dual Z steppers, is there a way to switch output of the Y and Z axis in the printer configuration settings?

Or is that a bad idea, and I should just dual wire the two Y-axis steppers?

Thanks!

@mcscott M584 in your config.g is what you want.

Change from:
M584 X0 Y1 Z2 E3
to
M584 X0 Y2 Z1 E3
or something similar.

If you have a free driver you could have each Y stepper on it's own driver.

Change from:
M584 X0 Y1 Z2 E3
to
M584 X0 Y1:4 Z2 E3
or something similar.
