      What are the rules on using dual z steppers on the duetwifi board?

      I currently have 2x 2A steppers connected. From what I can work out I'm under powering the steppers? Should I really be running these on separate drivers?

        It depends on how much torque you need from them. If they are moving fine then you can run two from one driver.

          Assuming they are Nema 17 size, they will work just fine connected in series, which is how the ZA and ZB connectors are wired.
