5 simultaneous axis control

5 simultaneous axis control
November 15, 2012 07:34AM
I'm writing to see if anyone has come across or edited the Sprinter firmware to utilize the 5 axis controller (RAMPS 1.4). I'm not using it for a 3D printer but am using 5 stepper motors that I want to control independently and possibly simultanously. I've seen some that allow a tool change between the two extruder channels but I need to be able to operate through both E channels at the same time. Is there any reason this won't work from the hardware side? If anyone has come across firmware that is already set up for this would be awesome. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Maybe post your question in a more appropriate area of the forums to increase your chances to get interesting replys (I suggest the "Stepper motors" or "Ramps electronics" sections).


Most of my technical comments should be correct, but is THIS one ?
Anyway, as a rule of thumb, always double check what people write.
