I have a CNC router with a dual Y axis. The standard drivers are not quite up to running 2 motors very well. I was wondering if I can slave the extruder axis as the second Y.
Would this be done better in Smoothie with a new module?

This can be done easily by adding the headers for the two drivers and connecting the step, dir and enable pins of the two drivers, and in the config comment out the Extruder configuration so the pins are not defined and left in an input state.
No module is required to do this.
