I am currently building a CNC machine and have a plan to use my spare MKS Base 1.2 board. I have successfully activated dual X but when ever i try to activate the dual Y option it throws a compile error.BTW i want to run 5 stepper motors without parallel wiring. 2 for X 2 for Y and 1 for Z.

I am by no means an expert but i believe if you find out the lines of code in the pins.h file for your board that send the signals for the x and y stepper motor driver and duplicate it but change the pins to the input of the "extruder" stepper motor drivers, its not simple and i dont know if it will cause problems elseware
