This is a query, as I don't have a firm idea either way. The question is this: On my 3D printer the 2 Y steppers, assuming a single available driver, were simply wired in parallel, with one pair reversed to make it drive correctly. My later card had 4 drivers available so the Y steppers had a drive each. Which is better & why?
Now on to my CNC Router. I have a breakout card with 4 stepper outputs and 4 separate drivers, but now I want to run a 4th axis, so back to one output for the 2 Y axis...
