Duel Y motor
-
It is possible Duel Y motor connect to duet Wifi ?
-
@patel Yes. Three options:
- Wire the motors in series (google 'wire stepper motor series'), connect to Y motor driver.
- connect the two Y motor wires to ZA and ZB, and Z to Y (assuming one motor), then remap the motors with M584 to something like
M584 X0 Y2 Z1 E3. - connect the second Y motor to a spare motor driver, and remap with M584, eg
M584 X0 Y1:4 Z2 E3.

I am using two E0 and E1.

@patel So if you have one Z motor, swap Z with Y. Or wire the Y motors in series. Or parallel, but you'll have to double the stepper voltage current (depending on motors, this may be too much for the stepper driver).
If you give us more information, we can give you a more informed answer.

1.68 rated current one stepper motor *2

If I connect two stepper motor how much current I need to set
- motor rated 1.68Amp per one motor and I am connecting to z axis drive.

@patel Connecting the two motors to the ZA and ZB driver connectors individually connects them in series. So you should set the current as for one motor (though both motors should be the same). Set the current between 50 and 85% of rated current, so between 800mA and 1400mA (we round down to the nearest 100mA).
