Repetier Firmware Support of Dual Z leveling

TheJoshW

Hi,
I like the complete Repetier solution with server and firmware, so I have moved my cartesian printer firmware from Marlin to Repetier. I have dual z motors and endstops. Marlin allows for a Z_DUAL_ENDSTOPS_ADJUSTMENT through M666 Gcode (see https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/issues/7113). Does Repetier Firmware support this in some way? If not is there a plan to add it?
Thanks.

I just saw another possibly bigger problem. Does Repetier Firmware support dual Z stepper controllers? My second Z stepper motor is connected to the previously unused E1 stepper controller on my RAMPS 1.4 equivalent board. Marlin has a feature, Z_DUAL_STEPPER_DRIVERS that automatically uses the unused E stepper controller.

Just did some more research and it appears the MK4duo firmware has the features I require and is compatible with Repetier Host. Is this ok to use? Do I loose any integration features with Repetier Host if I use it? What printer firmware do I select in host if I use it?
Thanks.

Looks like Repetier Firmware does support Dual Z motors by selecting: Mechanics -> Mirror motor signals to other stepper driver (FEATURE_TWO_ZSTEPPER). I guess my original question still stands: Does Repetier Firmware support Z_DUAL_ENDSTOPS_ADJUSTMENT through M666 or equivalent?

We support dual end stops but you can not say offsets, so you need to calibrate hardware side.

Ok, I used an adjustable Z endstop on one side: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2531282
And attached the stock fixed endstop to the other side, all works fine.
Thanks.
