Hello, Okay. I was wrong. I am not sure how wrong I am so far but… The endstop for Z1 works but I cannot get both motors to work in tandem. I am working on the cfg file now. Seth P.S. I was just discussing the source in the cfg file, i.e. nothing more. I am sorry.

If you don’t want to use 2 endstops, then don’t define an enstop pin for stepper_z1. It’s not required.

Right @jakep_82 , Thank you. You are correct. In the [stepper_z1] header, I do not need the endstop pin(s) for the Klipper version I am using. Thank you again. Seth

Okay… So, the dual Z_Axes w/ a motor for each axis seems to be disturbed. It is disturbed to the point that it crashes into the bed. I can home XYZ but not the second Z_Axis motor. Do I need a second Endstop? Do I need to wire something differently? Is there a way to port the second Z_Axis moto…

[image] silver2row: Do I need a second Endstop? If you use one, the x axes more parallel to the bed. When you turn off the power, due to the weight of the X axes assembly, the Z height can change on both side differently. To be sure the X axes is parallel to the bed, you use an endstop at z1…

[stepper_z] step_pin: ar100:PL6 dir_pin: !ar100:PE10 endstop_pin: ar100:PH6 rotation_distance: 2 microsteps: 16 position_endstop: 0.0 position_max: 177.0 homing_speed: 8.0 [stepper_z1] step_pin: ar100:PL8 dir_pin: !ar100:PE12 rotation_distance: 2 microsteps: 16 So, this will not work… The reason …

It can work as long the X axes stays parallel to the bed. Else you would need to run a [z_tilt] for what you need a probe. In that case you can directly home the Z axes with the probe. [image] silver2row: So, I do need a second endstop but I cannot call it in the .cfg file. It tells me that it…

This is it: [stepper_z] step_pin: ar100:PL6 dir_pin: !ar100:PE10 endstop_pin: ar100:PH6 rotation_distance: 2 microsteps: 16 position_endstop: 0.0 position_max: 177.0 homing_speed: 8.0 [stepper_z1] step_pin: ar100:PL8 dir_pin: !ar100:PE12 rotation_distance: 2 microsteps: 16 In [stepper_z1], I do n…

No free pin on the printer board?

There are free pins available but when I put an endstop_pin: in [stepper_z1], I get errors. It says as output, no endstop is available in [stepper_z1]. Seth

So please show the code you try to use:
