Hello from France,
I just finished building my MPCNC, and I will use an Arduino Mega + RAMPS 1.4 for electronics, so I will use Marlin.
There is only one thing I don’t understand, how I am supposed to control two motors for one axis?
Did I just need to connect two motors (of the same axis) to one stepper driver output? Or it is a little more complicated?
I have enough drivers to use one driver for each motor, but I don’t know in this case how to setup marlin.
Thank you!
Ryan has some information on how to wire the steppers on the MPCNC Stepper Electronics page . Essentially, the two stepper motors for an axis will get wired in series. Take a look at Ryan’s page and if something is quite clear, ask away and we’ll try to help.

It’s a little tricky to do the wiring but it works well, thank you again
