thank you phaedrux for your quick reply. if i understand you correctly I first set up the motor as an additional axis. Then start up the tpostn.g file in the system editor, and indicate there the change in the motor for both extruders to take place when there is a t0 or t1 in the gcode. Is that correct? thanks again for your insightful response.

dual extruder motor programming
i have a dual extruder setup which involves a nema8 motor which rotates via gear and racks to lower the current extruder into position and raise the other extruder out of the way, and vice versa. i am not sure how to program the slight motor movement every time the extruders change. any suggestions? thanks in advance
