No configuration pages for Y2 Axis

Hi All;

I finally have the second Y Axis installed on my machine and was trying to configure it.  I'm using a MESA i76u board. When I started pncconf, I selected to modify my existing single Y axis configuration since it worked beautifully. I increased the number of Step/Dir channels to 5 as my machine was currently configured for a 4th rotary axis.

On the Axis configuration page I set the 5th Step/Dir configuration to Y2 Tandem, and on the P3 pin configuration page I added the input for the Y2 Tandem Both Limit & Home. I moved through the X Motor config as it was already working correctly to the Y Motor configuration which I verified till worked as expected. I expected the Y2 Motor to be the next configuration page, however pncconf proceeded to the Z, then A axes with no page to configure Y2.

Did I miss something earlier in the config process that would generate a configuration for Y2? Perhaps I needed to set the machine configuration to xyyza or xyy2za or something akin to it? 

A little help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, what happened to my previous topics? Are they automatically purged with a new year? 

Regards and happy New Year

AFAIK, in pncconf a tandem axis simply duplicates the the primary axis
(with a different stepgen and joint position command) so any differences
(like a reversed direction) would need to be done by editing
the hal or ini file.

I don't need them, this post was a continuation of a previous post on the subject of adding a second Y axis to my machine. But PCW has answered my question so finding the previous post is a not necessary.

Thx,

After creating the new profile, I was comparing the Y configuration in the .ini to the Y2 configuration and both to the original single Y axis configuration. I noticed the the HOME_SEQUENCE for Y and Y2 is set to -3 in the dual Y axis configuration rather that 3 like the original single Y axis configuration.

I seem to remember reading in the documentation that when the HOME_SEQUENCE is set to the same value for two axes they both home together. Is -3 correct for a dual Y axes configuration?

Kind Regards,
