I'm modifying a 3D printer frame and turning it into a laser frame. The frame has two Z axis stepper motors. The controller board I want to use on this frame only has one plug for one Z axis stepper motor. I've been told I can split the single cable (it has 4 wires) and feed 4 wires into one Z stepper and 4 wires into the other Z stepper and thus have the one Z axis port control two stepper motors.
I've also been told I should split the cable so the connections are in series. What parts do I need to do this and how do I wire the splitter so the cable is in series?
Thanks...
