@nz_andy said in External drives and extra endstops:
Just single end stops per axis, we have one motor on the z, 2 on the y and 1 on the x as is a lead screw driven gantry style and the two y motors are also physically linked so they can't get more than a few steps out of sequence when power is off. (so don't need two end stops on the y) The Duet drivers are really nice and do drive one y motor no problem.
Can I use two duet drivers as simultaneous drivers?
OK, so you need only use the standard X, Y and Z endstop inputs (or just X and Y if you use a Z probe for Z homing).
To use multiple drivers for an axis, see the M584 command in the GCodes wiki page.
Got to say I have been real impressed with the duet and ease of use so far.
Thanks!
