After the master-slave axes have been reference my slave axis no longer moves Print

Check in the macro.cnc that there is no homing command for the slave axis.

In the example below, standard homing of X, Y, Z and A is performed:

<...>

;Homing per axis

Sub home_x

home x

Endsub

Sub home_y

home y

Endsub

Sub home_z

home z

Endsub

Sub home_a

home a

Endsub

<...>

Lets assume you have configured the A axis to be slave of the X axis. Then the following changes are necessary:

<...>

;Homing per axis

Sub home_x

homeTandem X

Endsub

Sub home_y

homeTandem Y

Endsub

Sub home_z

home z

Endsub

Sub home_a

Endsub

<...>

Note that the home_a subroutine now is empty, omitting to remove the home_a function will disconnected the master-slave connection, as a result the A axis will not move together with the X axis.
