I am building a cnc style (cartisian) laser engraver. You can see an old pic of it here I am using dual Y steppers. The main issue I am having is I can move the Y axis in the - direction fine but when I try to move in the + direction one of the steppers doesn't want to move or is moving wrong. The axis goes a little crooked but it will move, so the the second motor is not locked but is not moving. I know it is wired correctly because it works fine with Marlin. I have the second motor wired to E1 and the plug is rotated. I couldn't get Marlin and Repetier Host software to talk. So I am trying Repetier firmware. I checked pins against the marlins firmware and it was correct.
I have the Y axis duplicated to the E1.
I am using a Ramps 1.4 with the discount reprap smart display
I have 1 - X Axis stepper, 2 - Y Axis Steppers, There is no Z axis motor but I need the z axis output as if there was a motor.
I have Min and Max endstops for X & Y. Nothing on the Z.
I tried to disable as much of the heater settings as possible but some of it I wasn't sure.
I don't know why the Y moves in - direction fine but not in the +.
Please Help
