Homing a dual-motor-for-one-axis gantry machine.

I returned the config to a normal 3-axis trivial kinematics machine, slaved the Y-axis motors in HAL and made it possible to introduce an offset between the two if desired (offset component between Y axis joints). If measurements prove that squaring the gantry is necessary, I can do that using a bit of wizardry using G38 probe cycles in a G code subroutine to find the references.

Once the machine is up and running I might be interested in trying to find a more structural solution. Synchronised homing would only be a part of that.


Can you share the wizardry? :) And config files?

I know you are desperate for an answer, but I already answered that question and posted a link to config files in the topic you started about this... :)
