Software Axis Pairing and G Code

[Mkelcy]

Complete newbie here. I was bench testing my Centroid Acorn/Dyn2 controller box for a soon to be purchased CNC router. Software pairing on the Y axis was successful and the two servos jogged in unison, with the slaved servo moving equal and opposite the Y servo. I tried to use a G code instruction (g0y1) in CNC12, as seen in one of Marty's videos, but only the Y servo moved (the slave didn't) and the pairing was no longer in effect. I had to exit CNC12, use the Wizard to re-pair the axes, and then restart CNC12. This was a consistent result in more than 5 attempts.

My expectation was that the result of the g0y1 command was that both servos would move, but in opposite directions.

Do I misunderstand what should have happened?

do you have Mill Pro installed?

[Mkelcy]

No. I'm waiting to purchase when it's Router Pro.

Don't wait. You need it to pair axes. (or add the pendant) It will be a free upgrade to those with Mill Pro.
