Dev2: Extra motors configuration

frguyfrguy
in Motor Control
Hello,
I'm using Repetier V1 with an 8-bit Rumba board, and would like to change to a 32-bit Rumba.
For switch the head I use 2 extra motors with endstop. I added "G204 P1 S0 \ n G205 P2 S0" in EXT0_SELECT_COMMANDS and "G204 P2 S0 \ n G205 P1 S0" in EXT1_SELECT_COMMANDS to control them.
In Dev2, I can't find how to configure the same functions. Is it possible?

In Drivers.h there is this comment:
"For some special printers you need to control extra motors. Possible reasons are
- Extruder switches
- Clearing surface
- Leveling

Repetier-Firmware supports up to 4 extra motors that can be controlled..."

Thanks in advance

    In v2 you would add 2 motors as axis a and b and use g1 a0 b0 to move these extra motors. If they have endstops you could even home them using g28 a0 b0

    Thank you,
    I'm going to look at how I can set this up
