Hello, I just found Tic stepper motor controllers, so I am new to this topic. I am planning to build CNC-machine with one motor on x-axis, one motor on z-axis and two motors on y-axis for example using Tic T249.
I understand that for y-axis there shuold be master_tic and slave_tic that wuold mirror commands sent master. Is there somewhere documentation how to do that. How reliable this is, of course, if mirroring is not complete, it wuold damage cnc?
Hello.
The Tic controllers do not have any special support for synchronizing motion between multiple units, so they might not be a suitable choice for a CNC machine.
If you really wanted to try it anyway, you might consider connecting both of the y-axis motors up to the same Tic controller and just swapping the wires on one of the coils to reverse all of the movements at the cost of being able to control them independently. (Please note that you will need to appropriately account for the voltage or current needs depending on whether you connect the stepper motors in series or parallel)

Thank you for information.
