I came across this film accidentally, looking for a solution to several problems related to the use of TMC2130 controllers. You did a good job!
Thanks
Great, I asked the about the bridges on the previous video. You rock man!
Thank you. Great video!
Thx for your support, we are the factory FYSETC on the China for the TMC2130, and the video is really helpful for everyone ,so if your Fans or friend want to by the driver of ours, we can give them the discount , also if u have any suggest , u can contact us.BR, from China FYSETC
How on earth did you guys come up with such a horrible design for the bridges? The worst possible place. And why so small?
Excellent guide, thank you
teşekkür ederim, çok anlaşılır açıklamışsınız.
Excellent, to the point video
Thanks really helpful !
Nice info. Thanks.
Thanx alot for the detailed perfect video . you helped me :)
Great info, thanks a lot!
Very useful! Subscribed.
Worth noting before trying to bridge those tiny pads:
Use a camera that can get really close and zoom in or some other powerful magnification to check if the pads are already bridged. Some manufacturers ship these with the board contacts bridged as shown in this video, but they are so small you might not be able tell.
I tried bridging them on my board and made a bit of a mess of it. In the process of trying to clean it up, I used my mobile phone as a magnifier to look at the other driver boards I got and saw that they already the pads bridged (probably 0 Ohm resistors). The resisters were black (the boards i have are green), and so tiny all I could see with my eyes were the solder spots on the end looking like tiny exposed pads... even when wearing some reading glasses and/or cheap fresnel magnifying sheets I have.
Thanks for usefull video,
Cheers mate, thats very, very, VERY usefull!
Finally some useful information on this. Thanks for the video! Why are the bridges on cfg4+5 necessary?
Thank you very much for posting this video. Tom's video was not very informative as far as the pins and I had some errors. I ended up replacing them with TMC2100 drivers as I thought it was just my poor soldering job causing the fault to ground errors. I still have the 2130s though, so maybe I'll give them another try... Thanks again.
Thanks for the video. I am building a 3D Printer by myself and using MKS-Gen 1.4 with TMC 2130 drivers. I am having problems to configure it. Do you think that I need to follow the same procedure you used in your case?
Can you plug your black connectors to aux 1 on top of the LCD full graphics display connector? If not where can you plug them in
Hi mate! Thank you for the video, it really helped me.
I found a better solution to connect the TMC2130 and made a video where I solder a new connector for the SPI pins, so you could still use regular SD Card readers and Displays :)
BTW, the TMC2130 config pins are SO HARD to solder. It would be great if the driver had a DIP Switch for configuration.
Hello, thanks for the information, you are right soldering was really difficult at first try:)
Do you mind sharing the link to your video?
great video !! thx. do you have link to buy the 90 degree connectors u used?
would you share the link for spi + sd card + lcd?
thx :)
Thanks for making this vid!! I'm also interested to know what exactly those solder bridges in the beginning are about ? Would a standard trinamic tmc2130 from watterot need those solder bridges ? I was under the impression that those are ready for SPI out of the box ?
You are welcome, no watterot drivers already has those bridges.
thank you very much for this anwswer. So this bridge soldering thing is specially for those aliexpress drivers right?
I purchased my drivers from digikey. I just burnt one up today and also the Arduino Mega Board and who knows what else. I do not know what happened or why.
Do I need to solder these jumpers on the digikey boards. They are from trinamic directly.
Ellerinize sağlık çok güzel bir video olmuş. Bende tmc2130 driverlarını kullanmak istiyorum. Kullanma amacım sessizlik ve end stopların tasarıma getirdiği çirkin görüntüyü ortadan kaldırmak. Video da bir şey dikkatimi çekti aux girişi olarak lcd nin aux girişlerini kullandınız. Lcd ve sd kartı bu setupla kullanmak mümkün mü? Teşekkürler.
what did you clean it with?
Hey, really nice video! What about if I'm using an LCD screen on AUX3? Is it possible to get both LCD and tmc2130 drivers working together by assigning different pins for MOSI/MISO/CLK signals?
Hello, now i am running my printer with lcd. I soldered a cable on lcd driver board for Mosi, miso, clk pins. They are common lines.
Is one of the spi leads covering end stops?
thank you very nice video. But i get fff error because i haven't removed 4 pins? cfg1, cfg2, cfg3, cfg0
Are the jumpers on the ramps below the tmc2130 still required when using the stepper drivers with SPI ? Any ideas ?
Jumpers have no function at all, if you want you can remove them.
Hi ! Did you put some header below the tmc ? (on the ramps card)
Hi, I didn’t modify anything on ramps board.
I am not quite clear why you had to put fresh solder on the standalone pins. Was that necessary or were you just cleaning things up a bit?
Hello, i soldered the standalone pins to make it work in spi mode. If you not need to use spi mode it is not necessary
Hi, what does the solder bridging change? is it completely necessary? Btw your video finally got my drivers to work, thank you!
I am very happy to hear that you found my video helpful. My Chinese tmc2130 drivers came in standalone mode. So we need to do soldering bridges to convert it to spi mode. If your drivers also do not have those bridges, it is necessary to do otherwise spi mode will not work.
Thanks a lot for the video and the explanation!
Does that mean the "v1.1" version by Fystec are preset for spi control?
www.aliexpress.com/item/5X-MKS-TMC2130-V1-1-For-SPI-Function-Stepstick-Stepper-Motor-Driver-With-Heat-Sink-5PCS/32849429358.html
Yes it means SPI mode.
Ouch, after looking at the TMC2130 I got those bridges are really tiny. I'll need a more delicate solder point.
Too bad those SPI mode stepper drivers haven't hit ebay yet.
Thanks again for the instructions!
I have the same v1.0 drivers like you and I succesfully created those bridges. The problem is if I plug them, they get really hot without a motor connected.
They must not get hot unless you installed them wrong or they are broken. I have mistakenly burned one stepper motor driver when i installed it 180 degree rotated to ramps board. After that it was getting hot.
Hi. i can use 4x 2130tmc's and set the CS , all in the D pins in AUX2 port instead of AUX3? i want also use the SD card (only CS pins, i know the CLK, miso/mosi need use the pinst in the AUX3). greetings
Yes you can use other pins for CS, it depends on your configuration.
çok güzel bir video teşekkür ederim.Ama fff hatası alıyorum 4 tane pini çıkartmadığım için olabilir mi? cfg1,cfg2,cfg3,cfg0
Thank you for this tutorial. Everything is almost fine. X and Y is quiet and react as should. But Extruder motor now clicking as if it don't have enough power (I didn't change it)... no jam in nozzle - 100%. What it can be?
You are welcome, which mode do you use for your extruder?
It"s gone away. Now it's fine. I can't remember how I fixed it...
Hello! Unfortunately I was unused to configure the TMC 2130 SPI drivers along with RAMPs, the engine do not work, 12V power, I connected everything right, but did not work. Can you share your firmware?
Dear Jonas, currently i am using Klipper firmware and i do not have configuration file for marlin. I was using lastest version of marlin 8bit.
Okay, panicing here, do I or do I not have to solder bridges on my tmc2130 because this is pretty different from thomas sanlander’s tmc2130 video
It depends on how you are going to use your board (jumper settings), after you decided which mode to use. After you learned your jumper settings, all you need is to control the pads.
@@mytechtips4239 Unfortunately you didn't show how you set up your jumpers on the ramps :-)
Dear @@gibmirschnell, jumper pins are not important because they are de-soldered on tmc2130 board as shown in the begining of video for spi connections. TMC2130 has no connection to jumper pins. It is up to you if you want you can remove them freely or leave as is
Very nicest tutorial - I''ll follow It when I get Rams Shield, then ...& How about LCD display & SD card ?
Hello, i explain that also in the video, i hope that it helped you.
@@mytechtips4239 yeah but it makes use of the AUX 3 pins that the LCD also uses,.
iyi çalışmalar, TMC2130 v1.0 var elimde. CFG1'i gnd ye çektim ve vref 1V olarak ayarladım. Sistem aşırı sesli çalışıyor. Motor frenlemesinde sürücülerden sinyal sesleri geliyor.Spreadcycle için cfg2 nin de open olması lazım fakat tmc2100 da fabrikasyon open durumunda, tmc2130 v1.0 için kendimi mi open yapmalıyız? -------------------------- there is TMC2130 v1.0. I set the CFG1 to gnd and set the vref to 1V. The system is operating with excessive noise. The motor braking signal sounds from the drivers. The cfg2 must be open for the spreadcycle, but if the tmc2100 is fabricated open, should we open the tmc2130 v1.0 myself?
Hello, do you still have the problem? I haven’t used tmc2100 so that i can not compare the pin configurations. If you are hearing high pitch noise please try with lower currents like 800 rms or change Chopper of time to 140T.
Hardware linking?
At 7:09 you're saying AUX3 on your ramps is occupied by a LCD screens, like in my case to. But not only the D49 and D53 Pins, the SPI Pins D50-D52 as well. So that's not making any sense to remap the driver SPI Pins, if I'm not able to use the SPI pins D50-52, right? What is the solution for this? I'm using a standard 4 Line LCD Display like many other printer are using as well.
Just found this video accounting this issue:
th-cam.com/video/w4ZD4fx4z_A/w-d-xo.html
You can solder jumper wires on LCD connectors. I am using reprap.org/wiki/File:Smart_Adapter_v2.jpg this adapter with my LCD. As seen on 1:05 all spi bus is parallel. I am happy to hear that you found a solution. Best regards
anyone have resourse link s for RamP mode operation(SPI) for motor controller TMC 5160;
HELP!!
I can´t find those instructions on the Marlin's Firmware!!
I've got the last stable version 1.1.9.
Does anyone have the current way to make the RAMPS & TMC2130 works togheter??
Hello, this way is still valid.
hi, i cant seem to get my mechanical endstops to work. im using endstops with 2 wires and i connected them to the signal and ground pin. any suggestions? i learned alot from this video as well, thanks.
Your settings must be exactly like in video (11:24). Please disable the endstoppullsup & change endstop_inverting for that axis to False.
what i did now is, enabled all endstops MIN and MAX plugged all mech switches normally in MIN and plugged tmc 2130 DIAG to MAX "S" pin and disabled sensorless homing. it there going to be a problem with this long term? seems to be working at the moment
Btw M119 command in marlin shows the endstop states. You can test your endstops with this command and see their states
MYtechtips yes i was able to do that 👍
I am also using mechanical endstops now :) it will not make any problem do not worry
is it possible for correct senroless endstop for Z?
No it is not possible. It will not be accurate as endstop
Hello bro, thank you for the great instruction. However, I could not make TMC2130 work with marlin 2.0 using RAMPS 1.4.
I get Bad Response (All HIGH and All LOW) errors for my both TMC2130 driven axes (X and Y). I could not solve the problem even though I have watched and read almost every other instruction. I think somehow I am the only person that uses these components with marlin 2.0 in the whole community :D.
Could you manage to upgrade this configuration to Marlin 2.0 or do you have any other recommendations for this problem?
Thank you in advance.
hi, for me the key is step 2, my tmc2130 come just like it shows in this video
@@alejandropena8087 Thank you for your reply, my drivers were also came as in video and I have done required soldering. Unfortunately that didn't solve my problem :(. I have searched a lot but i still could not find any solution, maybe it is a hardware related problem.
I don't know why, but I connected this using just one pin on the board
Can I use 9axis of Tmc and make such this configuration!!?
Each driver can control 1 axis only
Nice video, but it's really bad practise to change something in pins_WHATEVER.h file.
Instead you can simply override these settings via Configuration_adv.h
and after that you can be shure the only changes you've done are just in 2 files - Configuration.h and Configuration_adv.h
Migration of all your changes to new Marlin FW will be much less painful in the future ;)
Thanks for the information. I haven’t tested the configuration_adv.h for override. If it really override the variables it is cool. Best regards
It works this way:
#ifdef X_CS_PIN
#undef X_CS_PIN
#endif
#define X_CS_PIN 4
UNDEF is there for disable warnings that macro is already defined ;)
I've used this RU instructable (specific for my board):
translate.google.cz/translate?hl=cs&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2F3dtoday.ru%2Fblogs%2Ftosikdelta%2Fconnection-tmc2130-in-trigorilla-boards-anycubic-kossel%2F&sandbox=1
It is applicable to many other boards, you just need to find out what pins you can use as CS pins to each TMC and where is SPI bus on your board.
Also nice guide is here: toms3d.org/2017/12/09/tmc2130-guide/
Good luck!
Thanks for the undef :) it really helped.
hocam belli türksün bize tane tane anlatsana lütfen. ramps 1.6 plus karta tmc sürücüleri direk takılıyor farklı bir ayar gerekiyor mu
Turkish accent? 😁
Türkçeside olsaymış çok iyi olurmuş
türkçesini de bekliyoruz
this is a very nice Video! i have buy a MKS Gen V1.4 and Motor Driver TMC2130 from Watterott.com. i have in Marlin 1.1.8 everything done the same, but is does not work!
Sorry i do not have experience with MKS Gen v1.4, if it is like ramps board it must work.
I have found the mistake! it works now!
RC3D can you share your configuration and setup? I’m having issues with sensorless homing.
I don't understand if my driver working

its def seeing your drivers correctly in SPI mode. Those X and Y values would be all FFs if it wasnt wired up correctly.
