It's sad to see professional teachers and then see someone like Chris & how much better he does at displaying and relaying information. I wish companies would directly pay people like you.
Thanks for the kind words.
@@ChrisRiley Chris, if I'm using this with a cyclops extruder and hot end, how would I set up the filament run-out sensor for the two different filaments but only one extruder? because it says define the number of run-out sensors, one per extruder, but there is only one. Would I just say there is two extruders as to have two run out sensors?
wink wink....I know who that barb was aimed at. :)
i think that its a little easier to explain things well and quickly with editing power/ when you actually have the knowledge and you know how to teach... Chris u did a great job!
Thanks for all your in depth Kipper videos. Nobody else does Kipper better! Much appreciated Chris
Even after 2 years this still a good guide to understanding Marlin setup - current rev of Marlin has functions at different places but the explanations still stand - thanks!
Awesome, thanks for the comment, glad it's still helpful.
Chris, almost every second of your two videos is full of valueable information. I keep constantly coming for reference! Thanks a lot
Awesome, that is great to hear.
Well, that was timely. I'm just installing an skr v1.4 turbo in my Ender 5 right now. There were a couple of things that I was unsure of but this video helped clear them up. Please don't be too long in releasing part 2!
Glad it was helpful, it will be out very soon.
Thank you Chris. Great timing! My SKR 1.4 with 2209s is its way to me. Looking forward to going back to your video to help me set it up.
Great! Good luck with your build!
Have just done everything in part 1 ,, really great , informative and spot on.
I cant wait for part 2 and get my printer going !!!
Keep up the good work Chris
Thanks Bob! Part 2 coming very soon.
Have an old MK2S that needs some love, looking forward to Part 2
Sweet! It will be out soon!
This video is great...at showing me how much I have to learn still. Thanks Chris!
Thank you!
Excellent video. You do a great job anticipating what some lesser experienced viewers (myself) might not know to fully understand what you are describing. 👍👍
Thank you very much!
My 1.4 turbo board landed today and as ever this is the first place I look for a comprehensive easy to understand tutorial. Good to see the subscriber numbers climbing.
Thanks for your support!
So far the most informative and easy to follow video I have found to date. I have this board (turbo) I have been trying to get running with the tft35 v3.0 I feel this has gotten me the closest. got bummed out when i found out the video just went out, looking forward to a sequel. been a tough learning curve for first dip into coding.
Thanks Adam, the second part will be out soon.
Thanks for all your effort Chris, great video again!
Thank you!
Fantastic job Chris. So much detailed information on these new boards and proper set up. Thank you for sharing with us all.
Thanks for watching John! I watched your Robothut walk-through the other day, really awesome place. I want to come and take the tour.
Chris, perfect timing! I received my SKR v1.4 and TMC2209s last night! Got everything going by going through this video, your TMC2209 video, your SKR 1.3 video, and your VSCode video! and a little bit of googling... BLTouch is working, sensorless homing on X/Y, hotend fan controlled by E1 etc!
Awesome!
After watching several video's on your channel, it suddenly hit me. Your voice is calming. It's the voice of "I got your back bro, everything is going to be allright!"
LOL, well that is great! I was hoping that is what I was conveying. I am always here to help!
@@ChrisRiley Half an hour ago I had the maiden voyage of the SKR1.4 and it worked like a charm. So you definitely helped me. And a lot of others I assume. Thank you!
Awesome, my 1.4 turbo arrives Thursday and will be putting it in my Ender 3 pro so these videos are timely as usual Chris, U ROCK!
Nice! Good luck with the build.
@@ChrisRiley Thanks Chris, yea chomping at the bit and watching my alerts for your next video. I am stalled right now at the end of your first one as I dont want to go further until i get Marlin setup right. I tried to use Teaching Techs video on this same topic but after two attempts to follow his it just crashed with error when I uploaded the firmware and so far you have already touched on things he never even mentioned which I find odd. I think I backed the wrong horse as I signed up for his Patreon, going to change that this weekend and give YOU that money instead...;) Here I set patiently waiting for part 2...;)
@@kevinm3751 Thanks Kevin, I am finishing up editing now. Very soon!
I am working on setting up the SKR 1.4 Turbo on what started as an Anet A8 printer and is now just a frankenprinter. Thank you for your simple and easy to understand description of how to configure the jumpers. This helped me out tremendously. I read the PDF documentation, but with all the model and part numbers flying about, I wasn't exactly sure how to set it all up. I'm confident I can get this setup now. Thanks!
Glad I could help!
fantastic as always thank you - waiting for my turbo to arrive
Thanks for watching!
I just love how Chris has replied to absolutely every comment in here. And that attitude shows in the thoroughness of the guide as well. The advice on crimping and electrical safety is on point, and usually missing from most other channels in this space.
Keep up the good work.
Wow! Thank you
Great Chris. Wish you had made this a month ago ..... it would have saved me many headaches! Even so, your explanations make me understand more of what I did by trial and error. David
Hey David, sorry it wasn't sooner, but thanks for watching anyway. :)
Great video! just in time! Now waiting for part2...
Thanks! It's coming very soon!
OH GREAT! All i need to do now is waiting for my shipment to arrive! :D
😀👍
I ordered an SKR 1.4 without knowing what I was getting myself into. Way more than I signed up for, but glad I'm learning to do it. I'll be watching this video several times.
Good luck with your project!
literally just purchased this board and drivers, awesome video!
SWEET! Glad I could help.
guides like this are hard to find anymore. keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do!
as allways, great tutorials, keep up the good work
Thank you, will do!
I love this sort of video. Great job, Chris!
Whenever I get a new board I use a red Sharpie marker to draw indicator dots on each of the positive screw terminals. Saves a lot of grief when you're trying to hook all the wires up in limited space inside a printer and can't see the silkscreen.
Thank you! That is a great idea, I never seem to just do this easy stuff first, I always wait and struggle later. Someday I will learn my lesson. :)
@@ChrisRiley I suggest a silver Sharpie since the terminal blocks and board are both black, non-metallic Sharpies are very hard to see on a black surface.
I painted the +ve terminals red. A sharpie seems much easier
Me from he Future sure glad you made these Videos !!! Great info again just in time. !!! Keep up the great content Chris and Thanks.
Awesome Ron, hope these help with your build.
Great video, I recently forced a SKR V1.4 Turbo into my CR-10S Pro. I am using Vanilla Marlin 2.0.5. After a bit of googling I managed to get the BL touch probe port enabled. I am really happy with sensor less homing and the access I have to adjust firmware settings through my TFT35 V3.0 duel mode screen.
Nice! Glad it's working for you.
This info is great! I had just ordered one of these with a bltouch. I hope I can figure out how to get this setup using the bltouch.
Glad it was helpful! BLtouch coming soon.
Hacking at making my own prenter. Thanks so much for taking the time to make this series. You rock.
Thanks for watching. Good luck with your project!
love it cant wait for part 2
Thank you!
i just got the board and i been pulling out my hair, so far your video is helping...
That's great! Good luck
At around 31:30 my brain started to melt with all the pins infos. However, your video are amongst the best for explaining those kind of things. Great job Chris!
Thank you!
Best tutorial video for this board on youtube!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Chris! Outstanding video.
Thanks!
Nice - thanks for the upload!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you, thank you and thank you. This is by far the clearest and most in depth walkthrough of everything needed. Your teaching style and knowledge is excellent and have turned a Marlin newbie into a Marlin newbie 2.0. Just what I needed to get this up and running with an Anycubic Mega X which has been nothing but trouble. I finally understand how Marlin, compiling and the inner workings of my printers which will help so much with my other machines.
The only difficulty I am having is with the dual z motors and the two strings endstops which are on the machine. I'm getting away with just using one z endswitch and manually syncing each side. This is something I'll work on in the future.
Thanks again and keep up your awesome work on your channel
Next, Marlin guru! Thanks for watching
Just in Time ... Well done !!
Thanks Dan!
JTS Style Connectors For The Win!! :) Very Informational, great job!
I only say that about 300 times a day, not sure why I kept getting it wrong that day...jeez, thanks!
You already know this, but this is exactly what I need. Thanks!
Glad to hear it!
To those few people that gave Chris a thumbs down, there are two steps I can offer you. 1. squeeze your rubber ducky a couple times it will make you feel better. 2. Watch the film again, because Chris is very thorough and has done an amazing job... Thanks for the education on the BTT
LOL, thanks! They just need more duckys.
Very good explaining and propper articulation Thank you!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Absolutely love your videos, you are one of the best teachers on TH-cam when it comes to this type of thing. I have taken delivery of the SKR 1.4 board, but also a BLTouch. Any idea when you might have a vid on installing BLTouch with this board. I also have a TFT35 screen to add to the mix too, so maybe a vid on that combo would be very much appreciated? LOL
Thanks again for all of your help though, you have some serious talent, and you have my gratitude sir.
Hey Gary, thanks for watching, I am hoping to get the bltouch stuff done next week.
Great tutorial! Thank you!
You're very welcome!
This is absolutely amazing. Please part 2 then 3 and so on :)
Thanks! There will be a few I am sure.
Thanks a lot for this great tutorial! helped me a lot!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Well done Chris!
Thanks!
Great video Chris! I'm going to upgrade one of my printers to this board, not sure which one yet.
Thanks! It should be a good time.
Thank you so much, I followed someone elses tutorial and ended up with errors. Yours fixed that thank you so much!!!!!!
Glad I could help!
Thanky you very much for this tutorial. I really appreciate that. I'm updating my Prusa clone to 32-bit and I am following your videos. Again, thank you for sharing your knowledge. Cheers from the Basque Country!
Glad it helped! Eskerrik asko nire bideoak ikusteagatik!
@@ChrisRileyamazing! Now I am a huge fan hahaha
@@ChrisRiley sorry but I need to ask you this question. Do you know basque, or you just send it to google translate?
@@jongonzalezurbaneja6743 I did Google Translate. I remember hearing about your autonomous country a few years ago. Are you still apart of Spain?
@@ChrisRiley Oh, no. It is not a country in itself. It is also known as Esukadi or Euskal Herria. Maybe the word "country" confuses you, but it is like a state within Spain. It is a group of three provinces (Bizkaia, Araba and Guipuzkoa). I am from Bilbao, a city within Bizkaia and, of course, we are the best. Why? Because of our gastronomic culture. It is impossible to find a place with such food variety, trust me.
On one hand, it's great to see that the more affordable boards are stepping up their game and coming out with some nice hardware. On the other hand, having to go to this level of difficulty setting up the board for Marlin is, well, daunting.
I went through this process for my FLSun, which was mandatory since the firmware as provided by FLSun did not work. More correctly, the SD card that came with the board was faulty, and/or wasn't loaded properly at the factory. FLSun support consisted of email support, which wasn't much help at all, so I took a config file out of the Marlin source that resembled my machine (the CL-260 IIRC) and created my own firmware.
It took forever, but I got things working fairly well, and then two things happened. My Z endstop quit working on the board (something that had also happened to other FLSun owners), and Marlin rolled out a new version and broke many of my settings for my board. Enter the Maestro board.
But for someone on a tight budget, this board really does look nice. And it is a whole lot cheaper than a Duet.
And your knowledge of the Marlin firmware is encyclopedic, very impressive!
Thank you! I know it's still kind of a pain, but Marlin has some stuff in the works that should make things easier.
Great tutorial sir! Thank you very much. Have a nice day. 👍
Thanks for watching!
@@ChrisRiley 1 bucket of coffee, your tutorial and my Ender 3 Pro is upgraded. 😄👍
Thanks Chris, great video as usual. At 13:34 NEVER solder wire and place it in a screw clamp terminal. Ferules ARE the best choice.
Have to watch the pin assignment part a few time to absorb what you are saying.
Thanks Mark, during the pins file part I was starting to confuse myself.
Excellent communication skills my friend!!!
Thank you!
Thanks a lot. Perfect timing :-).
You bet, glad to help!
@@ChrisRiley Just last week received SKR 1.4 turbo and 2209 set. Best time to try it in this lockdown :-D
Excellent video
Glad you liked it!
What an amazing video. thanks!
Thank you!
Good timing. I need a new controller for my Ender 3 since the crappy SKR Mini E3 v1.2 board I had only lasted a couple of months. I hope this one lasts longer. At least if one of the stepper drivers dies I won't have to replace the whole board.
Let me know how it goes, I am curious what kind of case mods people are doing.
Thank you Chris ! Great Tutorials !
I don't like cutting pins and I didn't cut any pins on my five TMC2209 used with a SKR1.4 Turbo:
1) I just commented the two lines //E0_DIAG_PIN and //E1_DIAG_PIN (in pins_BTT_SKR_V1.4.h file), and use two filament sensors.
2) As I use a BLtouch, I changed - in the same file - Z_MIN_PIN to P0_10 and Z_STOP_PIN to P0_10 (without changing the Z_DIAG_PIN from P1_27).
yea but then you have to remember not to upgrade that as well, i hate changing any other file then the config and adv ones,
as for the bltouch, there's an entire issue going on about that, i'm using mine WITH z endstop.
Thanks! I hate cutting the pins too, very nice work around. I am going to tackle the BLtouch soon as well.
I didn't change/cut anything and it still works, don't know why. I am running stallguard on X and Y , Bltouch is connected to Z endstop header( didn't want to go to the computer to build again so I tried it..)
@@ChrisRiley you can buy pin extenders, cut those and plase them between board anc driver
@@mironfs1 Great idea.
Thank you so much for making this video. You may not have installed it in an Ender 3 or and Ender 3V2 (I really wish someone did an Ender 3V2 video) but This had enough information that I should be able to successfully do the install on my Ender.
Thanks again!!
Glad I could help
Thanks for this video!
🙂
These SKR 1.4 vids helped me so much. I just replaced my GT2560 with BTT stuff. The connectors on the board are JST-XH. I tried duponts on the Z-Stop. I found them too sloppy, or 'my dupont' connections were too sloppy, and kept falling off the pins.
Great, yeah, the duponts aren't a great long term solusion.
I got my SKR 1.4 Turbo 3 days ago, first thing I managed to do was to smoke the 10A Fuse
I then stole a spare one from my car and it worked xD
I also only bent the Pins on my 2209s, since I don't want to remove anything
LOL, nice! Yeah, I hate snipping those pins.
Hopefully this video actually gets this going I got the lcd and the turbo board for my ender 3 and been having lot trouble with the firmware
Jabber. That is what’s holding me back. I don’t want to upgrade my Ender3 pro until I fully understand how to make firmware tweaks
@@bruceyoung1343 yea I followed his video and it wouldn't compile at the end idk where I went wrong I need to set my homing settings but also my bed won't heat .keeps giving me error ...idk part my problem could also be that lcd screen idk
If it won't compile you can send me the errors and I can point you in the right direction.
@@ChrisRiley I keep getting unknown motherboard value in configuration.h
Nice video! A few days late to save me from the end stop fun. I just went through trying to get someone's end stops working with this exact setup, before I had my own, and wasted quite a bit of time helping him before finding the instruction manual and seeing the pin removal. /facepalm. You can also just bend that diag pin out of the way, if you think you might want to use it later, but yeah, I like clipping it. Great info man.
Thank you! I am glad you found it, even if I was a bit late. ;)
Hey Chris - this is a great video. Thanks for the amazing content. Curious if you would put together a tutorial on converting a 1.4 board to 24V? I am kinda stumped on how to elegantly drive a PWM 12v part cooling fan and other accessories...
Interesting thought. Probably swapping the fans would be about the same money as running converters.
I have been struggling for the past 3 days trying to get Marlin configured correctly, I just finally got it to work last night.
I am running a coreXY machine and Next I want to figure out how to run 2 stepper drivers to run the 2 Motors. The reason why I want to run it this way is because Marlin has an option to level the bed from side to side (Z_STEPPER_AUTO_ALIGN). My setup is 400mm x 400mm x 400mm.
Cool, yep, that is pretty easy, in configuration_adv.h, there is an option already setup for that. You just uncomment it and it will use your E1 driver for the second Z by default.
Hey Chris great you got round to doing this setup on the skr 1.4/turbo..I smoked about 3 of the 1.4...lol..I also had the tmc2209 and although I got things to work like stalgard..I could not get the bltouch to work..and now I see why..I think.. like you pointed out you need to clip the pin on the z ..this was never really made clear in the documention..I hope you will maybe cover the setup of the bltouch ,using the dedicated pins on the board..it seems a lot of people could not get it to work and just tried using the z min end stop pin...again great work Chris..so glade your on this!!..I now will order myself a new skr turbo and try again!.
Dongletree henley - Hello Dongletree, yeah there is some confusion about the BLTouch wiring. Tripods Garage has a video that was released last week using the dedicated pins on the Skr 1.4 Turbo. Thanks
Glad it was helpful, I do intend to go over the bltouch setup as well.
very helpful, thanks a lot.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks
@@ChrisRiley I just bought my board :)
Thanks al lot man!
Happy to help!
Thank for the tutorial. I tried to go klipper but I just couldn't get it work so I went back to Marlin.
More Klipper to come. Hang in there!
Great video!
Thank you!
Hey Chris, I talked to you about the tmc2209 issue and I finally resolved it. The line in the firmware in conf_adv.h (software enable) mine was defined for this but even though it's for Uart mode, the drivers have dedicated pins and this should be uncommented. It was quite vexing but I got there with some help from the GitHub forum. Thanks for your help.
I am glad you found it, thanks for the update.
Second CR10s was completed in a "full" day. BLTouch would not work in the "end stop" port for it on the 1.4 Board... So I changed my Marlin Code as per the 1.3 Board and plugged it into the Z Endstop pin and it was fine.
That's great, thanks for telling us!
I’m about to get one of these to replace my stock Anet board. We use Marlin, and I really wanted to know if this ran Marlin, and how hard it was to setup Marlin.
Thanks for these videos. I think I can run Marlin with your help!
Awesome, yes, this should get you most of the way there for your ANET.
#define SOFT_ENDSTOPS_MENU_ITEM is a feature I enable on my machines, very handy so you can turn off soft endstops in the Motion menu. Good for doing maintenance or setting your Z offset without having access to a terminal. I have an SKR 1.4 turbo I'm going to install on my Taz 5 as a part oi a little wiring revamp as well.. been having some issues lately with the X stepper motor wires getting hot, banging my head against the wall troubleshooting filament constantly grinding on my aero, really hot stepper drivers as well as other odd motor behavior.... figured its time for an upgrade anyway. thanks for the vid!
Great point James, thanks for the comment, good luck with your build!
Do I understand this correctly? Everytime you want to send a command to the printer you have to open the case and move the jumper if you were using mains?
No, you can still talk to the board USB with the jumper switch, USB just won't power up the board.
@Chrid Riley Hi Chris, thanks for your great videos. Now i've to decide for the Creality Silentboard 1.1.5 or the SKR mini E3 for my two Ender 5's.
I run all Software under Linux (FreeCAD, Cura and PlatformIO) and it works great. Which of the two Boards you would recommend for my Ender 5's?
I like the SKR boards because they have a better processor, you can use 2209's and they are cheaper.
YOU!!!
are my hero!
Awesome!
@@ChrisRiley sadly I did watch this video too late and bought the "ERYONE tmx2209 v3.0"
I managed to compile without errors, but the "skr1.4 turbo" gives me "TMC connection error"
Do you have any experience with "UART soldering mods"?
I want to build a "laser" and shoot at the eryone drivers, XD
@@goddamnmaddog2024 Check this part out. th-cam.com/video/duNHOPlh2Pg/w-d-xo.html
@@ChrisRiley XD, they work fine! The skr has to be connected to a PSU to get the tmc to work like they should, XD.
I'm just installing an skr v1.4 turbo board but with the TMC 2208 drivers which came with it. Are the settings the same as for the TMC2209 please. You have great videos and very informative keep up the good work.
Yes, should be the same for 2208's just make the change in the Marlin config.
This is a great video, but where can I find those connectors you used for the power wiring? I am not using the right search term I guess?
These are them. www.amazon.com/Ferrule-Crimping-Tool-Kit-0-08-10mm%C2%B2/dp/B07K17VDF2/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=ferrels+wire&qid=1594264654&sr=8-2
good guide. thanks. i know nothing about this topic. this will help a lot. my board just arrrived today. Is it possible to swap the 2x Z-axis drivers so i can have dual x-axis drivers instead?
Sure, it's in configuration_adv.h
//#define X_DUAL_STEPPER_DRIVERS
#if ENABLED(X_DUAL_STEPPER_DRIVERS)
#define INVERT_X2_VS_X_DIR true // Set 'true' if X motors should rotate in opposite directions
//#define X_DUAL_ENDSTOPS
#if ENABLED(X_DUAL_ENDSTOPS)
#define X2_USE_ENDSTOP _XMAX_
#define X2_ENDSTOP_ADJUSTMENT 0
#endif

Good stuff here, Chris. My BTT SKR 1.4 Turbo w/ TMC2209's are on their way. I'm installing it in an older Omni3D Architect 1.1 that utilizes optical endstops. Would you recommend using sensorless homing, or use the existing endstops? Also, the printer came with an RAMPS 1.4 board....any further tips on transferring connections from the old RAMPS board to this new one (ie: hotend fans, cooling fans, etc.)?
I would probably start with the endstops to just confirm everything is working before moving to sensorless homing, it can be flaky. RAMPS you probably had dupont connectors, you will have JST on the SKR, you can either remove the plug shrouds from the board or make an adapter.
Hi Chris
Thank you so much for your awesome videos, they help me so much! I have one question though:
What do I do if I have clipped off a pin on my TMC2130 stepper driver (diag pins or the pins for the SPI connection) and now want to use these on an SKR 1.4? I had to clip them off because I used them previously on a RAMPS but now I'd like to use them on my new board, if possible without soldering new pins to the bottom of the drivers. Is it possible to do some wiring as it is done on the ramps and what do I have to do with the jumpers then?
On a 1.4 check this out. github.com/bigtreetech/BIGTREETECH-SKR-V1.3/blob/master/BTT%20SKR%20V1.4/Hardware/BTT%20SKR%20V1.4PIN.pdf
You can use the CLS pins below the driver with some jumper to the top of the driver. Also the diag pin you can run it over to the min endstop pin for sensorless homing.
good day chris, these videos are great. thanks so much for making them. i have a couple of questions though regarding the firmware install. im using the BTT SKR 1.4 Turbo for a MPCNC Lowrider, and im running into errors that are not adding up. do i need an extruder called out in the firmware even though im not using it? and if so, what are the temps supposed to be? because i dont physically have them. is there a way to "fool" the firmware? thanks again for the videos. keep up the great work.
So I think there is a way to run without an extruder, but I can't remember how to do that. The easiest way to is tell it to use a dummy thermistor, change this to 998, this will make it read 25c all the time. #define TEMP_SENSOR_0 998
I was about to buy the SKR, but I got instead the MKS SGEN L + 5x TMC2209 for €22.
There's really no excuse anymore not to go 32bit + Trinamic now. A Ramps board + Arduino Mega + Allegro drivers costs more.
You are 100% correct, I think 32 is here to stay. ;)
hey Chris thanks for that great 2 part video but please can you help me what screen do i choose for a tev tornado
I am pretty sure that is the reprap discount full graphics display.
@@ChrisRiley thanks man im having so much trouble with this tornado i hate it!!!! I cant get the screen to load
Chris, As always a fantastically informative tutorial. Thank you for the time and effort you clearly put in to making these.
I was having trouble purchasing the BTT tmc2209's and went with Eryone 2209's. I understand that the Vref and diag pins on these boards are transposed although I can find very little documentation to confirm this. Can these pins be transposed for the SKR1.4 in marlin firmware or am I going to need to get creative with the soldering iron? Again many thanks for the content.
Thanks Wayne, I am really not sure the differences in those 2 boards, but, it is worth a try. I would just plug them in and see what works, as long as you have the direction and ground pins in the right place, you shouldn't hurt anything.
@@ChrisRiley I can confirm that the ERYONE Tmc2209's DO have the diag and Vref pins transposed compared to the BTT 2209's To get sensorless homing to work with the SKR1.4 you need to snip the bottom pin off and use the header on the top of the 2209 to connect with a jumper to the SKR end stop pin for the axis in question. Hope this helps anybody who was confused as I was.
@@WayneNewtonuk Thanks for the update.
Chris, what a wonderful Tutorial. Thank you for this. My question:
is there a way to leave and activate the stock endstops , not use sensorless homin g, without having to cut off the diag pin?
Thank you
Unfortunately not that I know of. I know it's a bummer to clip the pins. You could get around it with some tricky edits in the pins file.
I did bend mine slightly outwards, and made sure nothing is touching
Hi Chris, Thanks for another great lesson. I am retrofitting a Maker Gear printer that has a 24v power supply. I haven't been able to find out what the DC IN is supposed to be. Would you please let me know what input voltage is recommended? Never mind, I found the input power specs for the SKR 1.4, 12-24 VDC.
Yep, 12 or 24v work just fine.
Hi there, great videos, btw. what is the difference between TMC 2209 drivers in 'cube' and the one already build in for example in SKR mini e3 (also TMC 2209)? Thanks in advance for clarification.
There is no difference, they are the same chip.
Hi Chris, very informative videos, and super cool step-by-step stuff, I do have one question, I did all the upgrade for it, but it doesn’t show to print from my SD card in any of the menus, did I miss something in the firmware? Or I cannot print for the sad card, sorry I am new at this.. thanks for any recommendations, thank, keep it up, good work!
Thanks! You probably just missed the option. Look for this. #define SDSUPPORT
Chris Riley , hope your going well, yea, I tried that and it didn’t work, I am going to do the whole process all over again and hopefully it works, I’ll keep you posted! Thanks for all your help and the quick reply,
HI Chris,
Could you make a video on the SKR PRO V1.1 or the GTR V1.0 along with the close loop device S42B V1.0 which seems to be very promising boards!
I am still waiting on some close loop boards. We will see what I can do.
And I thought my MKS Config was involved. I needed 3 diff creator videos and a bit of head scratching to get 1.1.x working back in spring '19. Never could get sensorless to work on 2.x so I jumped to Klipper.
Yeah, there is a bit to do for sure.
I just found out that you can use both sensorless homing and mechanical switches as the same time. Sensorless homing uses high signal for stall detection, so if you wire your endstop accordingly, (that is using pulling high when triggered) you can use them both. There is a github discussion where it is stated, that when the driver is pulling to 0 and the endstop is pulling to hight there is still enough tolarence for the driver (the drivers pullup current is 40u, and the safe minimum for the pin is 2mA -quoted from the discussion)
👍🙂
Hi Chris. Most needed video and very timely so thank you. Not sure if you will use the btt tft35 v3 screen, but if you do than please look into an issue. The marlin mode of the screen uses the latest configuration that has been uploaded by the user but the touch screen mode uses to all the default (factory) settings. The bed size, temp settings and everything. Not sure if I'm missing something.
I do use that screen but haven't noticed that, but it makes since. The touch is just a controller. I will take a look at mine and see what I can come up with.
Thank you Chris
Hi Chris. When are you posting part 2. Im struggling with hotend fan controls. Connected to HE1 changed in Configuration Advance E0 to P2_04 but still keeps running.
@@deadsimpleali5540 I will be out very soon.
Have you guys had any problems with the V1.4T not working with E3D thermistor cartridges?
I had the thermistor type configured properly in Marlin, had it plugged into the default pinheader (TH0, pin 0.24) and it was only reading 713C (this is with only the power supply and thermistor connected to the board, so the hotend heater element wasn't just going nuts). Still read 713C with the thermistor unplugged. Confirmed with a multimeter that the pins weren't shorted and tested with 3 E3D thermistors. Hell, I even assigned 0.23 and 0.25 to the E0 thermistor, and it still read crazy high temperatures. I returned the board for a replacement, and I'm hoping that board was just a lemon with some weird stuff going on. This was all on the newest non-bugfix branch of Marlin off of the github.
Yeah, sounds like something was up with that board, mine seem to play with that thermistor fine.
Hi Chris, with the skr 2 released, will you make a new video to compare the 1.4 t and the 2? I was about to order the 1.4 but I'll probably get the 2 instead
Yes, I will have that video coming up.
