Thank you so much man. I was struggeling with teachingtechs tutorial on the skr1.3 and your tutorial was way easier for me to understand. Please post more tutorials about skr motherboards. Liked and subscribed
Hi @Edward Braiman - I didnt read the directions and I'm now finding your vids.. I just smoked two of these boards; I believe (in part) to not reading the directions. Eventually I did move the jumper for the USB over but then (hind sight moment) I plugged it back in to my laptop... more magic smoke and my laptop went dark... Killed it!! Now I need to see of my laptop can be fixed.
@@EdwardBraiman sadly nope... I haven't opened it up yet but I think it may have gone past the USB 3.0 port. I may just take it to a shop, it was a pricey laptop.

@@EdwardBraiman Ed's 3D Tech Do you say that if your Pronterface requires 10mm, the x-axis calibration will move by 20? Thank you. Input 30mm with G00Z100
I'm in the middle of upgrading my Cetus3d-printer with this board and the TFT35 V3.0 display plus a Noctua fan. Had to order some PT100K thermistors (B57560G1104F000) from Mouser and are now waiting for the delivery. My TMC2208 works fine, just a little hum when the axis move.
This was indeed a very frustrating experience...Had the same problem as Ryan Schmaltz. It's a damn MICROSOFT problem. (I have Winblows 10, 64bit) I don't know why after 24 years of the existence of USB, MS still can't get it right. Tried the below solution three times, didn't work. Finally had to remove sd card from printer, put it into a different card reader, which Win 10 did not recognize, had to format it (FAT) then manually copy the bin file from the directory it was saved in by Atom. Put it into the machine and theeeeeeennnnn, Voila! finally got the Ender screen to be more than a night light. Was able to move the axis and extruder. Then connected up the Raspberry PI, which recognized the new Ender reincarnation right away. Started Octoprint and am now running a stringing test. I am amazed at how quiet this thing is now. I am running 2208's for all four steppers in UART mode. Soldering the pads was a major pain. Good thing I had 5... I destroyed the first one. Perhaps the manufacturer of them could put a micro jumper pin set there...hint-hint. I needed to combine information from at least three videos to do this, none of them did it all. Here is the other main video, this is very helpful. th-cam.com/video/GNGN2iSQ5j4/w-d-xo.html I built the rear enclosure that this guy has on thingiverse.
I know this is one of your older Vids but Im love them all.I always try to like them and use the Amazon links when I can. No one else on TH-cam are making videos like this. I love the way you make the changes in Marlin and then exhibit what the changes ACTUALLY do. Please Please keep up the good work. Could you consider doing a video on closed loop? Specifically the built in closed loop function on the SKR 1.4
thanks for the clear tutorial, would also be helpful to show what solderpads need soldering on the tmc2208 as bigtree tech dont always solder the pads to use uart mode.
I bought this from them and their V3 drivers and they are weird as they are more universal because their pins go all the way through so can be used on the V1.3 via jumper or the wire loop mess on the other controllers. Pretty cool and forward thinking.
I did exactly the same thing that you do, but my motors don´t work, only make noise. Do I need calibrate the Vref? I really don´t know whats happens, your video is very good.
Hello i have 4 question... 1. need soldering bottom pcb ? (J2) 2. TMC2208 V3 on Drive Extruder can use ? 3. STEP/DIR mode use with Drive Extruder ? 4. Different STEP/DIR mode and UART v3.0 on Drive Extruder ?
There are three modes you can use on tmc2208. I'm only addressing UART mode of stepping in the video. Soldering normally is not required unless there is a defect in manufacturing.
Other guides tell you to place a jumper on the 2nd row (under the drivers) if you want to use the UART mode. They also tell you to solde the j2's. Why don't you? I just keep getting tmc connection error and just don't know what else to do anymore. (Skr 1.3, all tmc2208 V3 drivers, TFT 24 V1.1)
The jumper caps in correct position are still required. On underside of TMC steppers there was a quality issue that myself and other early adopter's experienced with zero ohm resistor falling off. Since then it's been mostly corrected.
thanks for the first steps. My Board is up and running so far. Now I wonder, if i can attach a capacitive Levelsensor and if additional MosFets are required like on my ANET-V1-Board, which the SKR will replace soon.
Did the same on all XYZ and E but only XY working :( Driver registers: X 0xC0:0A:00:00 Y 0xC0:0C:00:00 Z 0x00:00:00:00 Bad response! E 0x00:00:00:00 Bad response! Testing X connection... OK Testing Y connection... OK Testing Z connection... Error: All LOW Testing E connection... Error: All LOW
Check the solder joints on the steppers. Sometimes this have a weak joint or check the jumpers. Also try moving steppers to see if problem moves. Try swapping E and Z first.
hi thank your your helpful videos on this mainboard. ive got some spare a4988 and drv8825s that i can use but might get some tmc2208s in the future. whats the difference between v1.2, v2 and v3? is the v3 the only one that has uart plug and play?
Edward Braiman, Hello, I am re-vamping my CR10S and using the SKR v1.3 board for this. I have a new extra set of LV8729 drivers, and hoping that they can be used, instead of having to buy different drivers. Will this be possible , or cause problems? Thanks
Hi Edward, Great explanation well presented. I have also new 1.3 board w/ 2208 v3 uart. I am planning 4 uart 2008 / X,Y,Z,E - question regards X_current 600 change from default . why? what the benefit ? is it ok to put all stepper motor current 800?.. x-axis. y-axis, z-axis, extruder? Thanks
Thank you for the video, I was going mad already. Just one thing that I still don't get a concrete answer from anywhere, what about the jumpers on the bottom side of the pcb? Did you solder those, and if you did, which one? The upper one or the lower one? (By upper I mean the one closer to the side that is written bottom)
@@EdwardBraiman yup got mine from them bundled with the mobo. But the mobo just died a few hours earlier, it turns on but the main chip became a huge resistance lol. But thanks, I will keep that in mind when ordering a new one, I had initially soldered mine like that, bottom wise, but even though the motors were working it would not home for the life of me, that's also something I have to work on.
My friend, i have MKS TMC2208 v2.0 and BTT SKR v1.3 I want to know all steps same with in this video for MKS TMC2208 v2.0. I have seen some people solder pins need I do that for my setup ?
Having a bit of trouble. Bit of a noob here to be honest. I followed you video very closely. When I uploaded the build it showed the BIN file on the SD. I unplugged the USB, waited a sec, then plugged back in. However, now my computer is saying the USB Device is not recognized. Little lost!
Got it fixed! Not sure how, but in case someone has the same issue.....? Pulled the microSD and put it in a card reader. Showed the original cursor file along with the BIN. However, the BIN was showing a size of 0. deleted the file then used Atom again to upload the build but left the microSD inserted through the card reader. New BIN showed up. Plugged it back into the board, then the USB into the machine, and BINGO. It worked. Not sure what happened the first time but we're good to go now!
If it makes you feel any better, the same issue occured for me until I realized the operating system takes a moment to recognize device again. Also, I've made the mistake of not specifying, "#define serial_1 -1" several times.
Question: why change DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT for the Z to 8000? My Ender 3 Pro was set at 400 but in the video yours was already much higher and then you changed it to 8000. When I updated the firmware with that 8000 it made my Z Axis move 10x (estimated, could have been 20X) farther than it should. It also moved quite rapidly. When I went back and reverted to the default it is slow and normal again. Just want you to know, this is a great video, I never could have installed my SKR1.3 (different video) and 2208s without you. Thank you.
I'm using the firmware default in the video, otherwise as you noticed it will cause confusion. Great catch, for people in a similar situation as you. The actual values can be dereived from the RepRep calculator on Marlins webpage. Sometimes I'm just trying to hit the main setup points and skip the finer details. I'll try and remember to say something for SKR pro v1.1. currently I'm holding back on those videos until I have several.
@@EdwardBraiman Thanks, totally new at 3D printing but I've been a computer geek since the 80's. Loving that I have a reason and motivation to pull up my old skills for a practical purpose for this toy that makes toys.
Super Video, musstest du an den Treibern nichts mehr Löten? meine V3 Uart kamen ohne Lötstelle oder sonstwas . Kann ich diese trotzdem so einsetzen wie du es getan hast?
Ich hatte eines, das einige Probleme hatte, aber die anderen vier schienen gut zu sein. Anscheinend fehlte ein wenig Lötzinn, aber es war in Ordnung, nachdem ich es mit dem Lötkolben berührt hatte.
I have the skr 1.3 board with the tmc2208 step sticks. Upon compiling the firmware, it shows "the connection error". Please cover the fix for that. I did the solder jumper on the three little solder points only to find that it was the wrong thing to do. So, I purchased another set of the tmc2208 and did not do the solder mod. I placed the jumpers on the skr 1.3 board for uart mode. I don't really care if the uart works of not. I just want my printer to actually print. Thank you.
Well you'll need to check the datasheet for UART configuration on those steppers. It should not be that difficult. They explain which solder pads are required. Let me know how it turns out.
Thank you for all the info. I have 2 questions. first of all I did purchase 4 v3 2208 drivers. 1. if I use 2 motors on Z drive what do I set current to on that driver? 2. my old e-0 default steps is ###### do I set the same as in old software?
I would start with default setting after computing RMS and divide the connection using the technique ... th-cam.com/video/yrSSps4ZWQk/w-d-xo.html ... Start as if you're working with one motor. Let me know how it works out.
When you open your platform IO, it looks very different to the one I down loaded you have more option on the left hand side, it also does not show all the files that you’re showing, so can not open to edit anything, thanks Simon
Edward Braiman I will look into the above I know more about SKR 1.3 than I did yesterday, if the file structure was fully open I would be able to do all the work required, I think you said for the usb and power supply, you can use both at the same time, presumable you need a jumper to short out all three pins? Thanks Simon
Depends on you level of experience. As a beginner I recommend starting with drv8825. When you become more confident, then tmc2208. And when you're very experienced, then tmc2130. This is only because as a person gains knowledge they'll understand what's going on.
I just received Bigtreetech TMC2208 v3.0 drivers, and already have MKS GEN L V1.0 main board. For not I'm running them as standalone, but wondering how to properly wire them to be able to use UART in combination with this MKS board?
This videos scope is for SKR v1.3. you will need to read the manual for bigtreetech TMC 2208 as they may require changes. Also there is directions in Marlin firmware you need to follow.
As the video is wrongfully labeled TMC2209. I'm actually configuring the TMC2209 in the SKR1.3 and stepped into communication problems. Turns out it has to do with the wiring of Rx/Tx on the stepsticks. Mine had an internal 1KOhm that got inline with the TX on the SKR board, so uart signal level seemed not sufficiant and communication failed. This may be important to check for different 2209 and 2209 sticks when having no success with M122. I got it finally fixed by using an additional jumper on the SPI jumper block effectively shorten the Rx/Tx pins of my TMC2209 step sticks Reference here: github.com/bigtreetech/BIGTREETECH-SKR-V1.3/issues/59
@@EdwardBraiman a) I still have a cashed copy that labels TMC2209, guess there was a typo when uploading? b) the communication problem may not just be for 2209. 2208 and 2209 communication is rather identical. It's the problem that the pinout of the step sticks seems to be not standardised. My 2209 are FYSETC v2.1 and you recognise the variant with seperate Rx/Tx pins, the pin sequence is EN, MS1, MS2, TX, RX, CLK . There seems to be an 1kOhm between Rx and Tx pin and only the Rx connects directly to the TMC chip. This sticks obviously have an integrated Rx/Tx sepearation circuit that conflickts with the BigTree layout. This separation circuit is already on the SKR layout when you check their shematic. Otherwise you get level problems between Rx and Tx on the micro controller ports because of the added 1kOhm on the stick. So the SKR1.3 connects the UART jumper to the sticks TX pin only, but expect a single UART pin going directly to the TMC pin on the step stick and do the Rx/Tx break out with the 1kOhm in the SKR board layout. By the additional jumper I can fix this and bypass the 1kOhm on the step stick between Rx/Tx and the SKR gets access directly to the TMC chip pin. So I spare myself the modification on the step stick with solder irron and tiny surface mounted components. Just wanted to note, that you need to be carefully with step stick VARIANTS out there. That's because the step sticks aren't standardized for the Rx/Tx pinout and you may get similar problems with random 2208 sticks as well as some 2209. There is no guarantee that they do it as Bigtree expects it. I think Bigtree takes this in consideration on their step own step sticks, but when using random cheep chinese supplies you can have the same UART problem with any 2208/2209 clone sticks.
I followed this tutorial exactly with the BIGTREETECH SKR 1.3 and their drivers. I get a TMC CONNECTION ERROR on the screen. The printer works and moves fine still, but adjusting the current doesn't seem to reduce the temperature of the motors. Do you know anything that could help?
Edward Braiman It’s for a CoreXY printer and it’s the big tree skr 1.3 and big tree’s tmc2208 to control all 5 steppers (I have daul z). I’m using Marlin bug fix 2.0.x. Also, I don’t know if this is ok, but I’m ejecting the micro sd card from board and putting that in computer and then putting it back in rather than uploading through USB. Also thanks for fast reply :)
Edward Braiman Dang! I think you may be right, I got the combo from aliexpress and it was the TMC 2208 DIY x5 option instead of the TMC 2208 UART x5 option. I didn’t even realize there was multiple options. So this means I need to order new stepper drivers right?
Hey Edward, thanks for the great video's. Is there any chance that you will or can do one on TMC2209 drivers, I know the teaching Tech has done one but for some strange unknown reason I get so far and can go no further. Cheers Merlin...
Yeah, that would be awesome. I have struggles with my original BTT TMC2209 as well - Did everything as in the Video but the drivers do not register (Testing X connection... Error: All LOW). I did not try it out with the correct voltage from the power supply, only powered by USB - can this be the problem?
@@ThePixelbuilder Have you gotten any further? I seem to be in the same situation you are. BTT TMC2209 v1.2 with BTT SKR v1.3 on all steppers (X, Y, Z, E0) and when just connected to Pronterface via USB, I get the same message you show. Any other sources of help that you have found? I didn't think I had to do anything with the solder pads due to the UART jumpers on the SKR v1.3 board.
Is the PSU connected and powered when I saw low, the power was disconnect. I'm getting ready to do a video on tmc2209 UART maybe today inn SKR 1.4 and maybe tommorow on SKR 1.3.
When I put the board into program mode and connect the usb to my Raspberry Pi for, Octoprint, it takes control of my 2004 smart controller. If I choose not to run with the Pi turned on, the screen remains blank even when printer is on. Is it always necessary to switch that jumper to operate with or without the Pi? The Pi seems to timeout quickly and disconnects from the board often. Apparently I’m missing something.
@@EdwardBraiman No just running Octoprint. I actually find it easier to pull the sd and upload directly to the sd from Platform IO. Are you thinking I don't have to switch the jumper if I am not programming ? Seems like I tried running Octoprint without switching into program mode and it didn't work at all but I may be wrong.
Hi Edward thank you very much for this tutorial i have been following this and a few other while setting up my BTT SKR 1.3 with BTT TMC2208 v3 Drivers my issue i am having is that it seems to be moving twice as far as it should be any idea what could be causing this? any help is appreiciated thank you.
Check defualt axis steps per unit. The reason I added drv8825 was to show the numbers being changed. So try doubling the number for that axis. Let me know how it goes.
@@EdwardBraiman double the numbers to decrease the distance moved? I thought it would be half? I will try it as soon as I can and will get back to you. Thank you for your speedy reply.
@@EdwardBraiman okay so a little update on my firmware situation... there is nothing wrong with it! I came back to it after a day at work powered it up and all of a sudden everything was moving fine. Not sure why this is as i had done several power cycles already. Either way after following your tutorial my printer now works flawlessly so a Big Thank You!

Are you using ATOM/platformio plug-in? You may want to change to VScode as it will work better. I know some of my tutorials have ATOM, but I've changed due to support of platformio being discontinued. There is a SKR 1.4 tutorial where I explain install.
First is you system powered by a power supply and not the USB power. Second check to see the are correct TMC stepper driver in video. Third swap steppers if issue persist with other steppers to see if system issues follow. Between steps to power down system.
Hi! I bought TMC2209 (v2.0) and tried to connect in the same way as TMC2208 in this video. And does not work. On the M122 command, I get errors and zero registers. And on the LCD screen a message - "TMC Connection error". While I use them as TMC2209_STANDALONE. (((
It's called SPI, for serial peripheral interface. It's a hardware configuration with software to communicate via specified hardware address. The reason I don't go into extreme detail is to have some ask for more detail. In the case of the pins file, the pin for a specific stepper like TMC 2130 in a SPI configuration will say move the stepper this amount base of PWM (pulse width modulation). This can also be applied to other device like LCD, data transportation, ECT. Keep in mind I'm trying to teach a simple task for people to maintain interest in 3d print and learn on there own in greater detail. If I spent 45 minutes explain how packets are assembled and transfered over a wire people would become bored. If I start talking about the software protocol development and abandonment by 🍎 corporation. If you would like I can talk in great detail as I've worked on SPI for a number of years professionally? Personally, I want people like yourself to challenge me by challenging yourself to teach others with empathy and encourage learning. Thank you for explaining to me I was not detailed enough, I'll work on it while trying to keep the tutorials fun.
uh oh, followed the video and almost everything worked. The one thing that didn't work was the LCD. Tried to install the u8glib in atom and uploaded again. After pulling and putting back the USB cord, Things went dead. Now when I plug in the USB cord, the computer no longer recognizes the board. Not sure what happened but kinda stuck
It appears to support SPI for TMC2130 at least with the tests I ran. It's tied to the TMC 2130 step stick Bigtreetech produces. It may have issues using other SPI devices at same time. I had issues with it working consistently with USB jumper in 5v position.
Hi Edward do like tutorials I am making a DLP 3d printer at the moment, I have been looking at this TMC2208 and this board will it run nema23 stepper motor 2.80A?
@@EdwardBraiman I believe it can, CNC is not much different than a 3d printer. The printer lacks an analog for the spindle and all inputs and outputs need isolated, but that is not hard to do. I just got one in and will be attempting to use on a CNC router that I am building. I will let you know how that goes.
Using Visual Studio Code with PlatformIO installed. In the old marlin you could see where your board is connected on the PC. This Marlin 2 is nothing but a pain to work with. How do you know if the board is connected to PlatformIO? I get these "select" options but obviously they refer to Marlin 1.xx I followed the instructions here, same TMC2208 drivers, do a PlatformIO build and get LPC1768 Failed #error "Oops!

I've only done 1 board with Marlin2.... the board does not connect to platformio. Its the suite you use to edit & compile the firmware. Then you copy the file over to your SD card. With the printer off insert the card then power on. The firmware will "auto install" to the printer. Tim at TH3Dstudios did a good demo/walk thru of this with his EZLite board.

@@EdwardBraiman The only 4 drivers I have are the 2208s. I've tried all of them and they all present the same issue.

Hi Edward, in earlier TMC2208 versions in combination with MKS GEN L V1.0 board the stepper direction has to be inverted. Did I understand it right that it's not necessary with Bigtreetech SRK 1.3 & TMC2208 V3 combination.
Thank you for all your video teaching me how to set up the skr1.3 I followed all step by step, but I am not able to generate the firmware.bin through atom. It said failed. I downloaded the marlin of skr1.3 from bigtreetech github. I did success once. And I try next day with same step same file. It failed. Can I ask someone send me the .cur file directly replace the current one to update? P.s I am a beginner. I might have asked stupid question.
First does a defualt folder project build okay? What I'm saying is open a fresh download that has been unzipped and click check mark in platformio inside ATOM.
If it's not working checkout the instructions on how to install ATOM with Platformio instructions on marlinfw.org. You may also need to install Git to make it work from ATOM.

what if we are mostly happy with our 3d printer and just want a slight increase in speed and quality and a major decrease in noise? that's what mostly everyone here is looking for, we're not trying to land on mars with these things
First, thanks for compiling this video, it has been very helpful! I have a question I am hoping you can help me with dealing with a failure during the build process, specifically with the xpt2046.cpp file. When I try to create a build, it gives me multiple errors dealing specifically with the xpt2046.cpp file, errors seen in this screen shot. snipboard.io/aWK1B7.jpg What could be causing this issue? Thanks for your help
Is this a fresh download? I'm unsure of the issue other than something with chip select, which is normally used in SPI. If you download a fresh copy of Marlin firmware and see it again I suggest opening a bug on Marlin firmware GitHub page.
yeah, it's a fresh download from yesterday, from a file that was last uploaded 18 days ago to the git hub site here.. github.com/bigtreetech/BIGTREETECH-SKR-V1.3/tree/master/BTT%20SKR%20V1.3/firmware/Marlin-bugfix-2.0.x/Marlin/src/feature/touch Guess I shall open a bug on the page. In the mean time, would it be possible to send the code from a working xpt2046.cpp file to paste into the file to get it going?
@@EdwardBraiman Like to do a video for the newbies,,even though I have been playing around with 3D for years so much is changing and more machines and boards around. Cheers

Thank you so much man. I was struggeling with teachingtechs tutorial on the skr1.3 and your tutorial was way easier for me to understand. Please post more tutorials about skr motherboards. Liked and subscribed
Thanks.
Hi @Edward Braiman - I didnt read the directions and I'm now finding your vids.. I just smoked two of these boards; I believe (in part) to not reading the directions. Eventually I did move the jumper for the USB over but then (hind sight moment) I plugged it back in to my laptop... more magic smoke and my laptop went dark... Killed it!! Now I need to see of my laptop can be fixed.
Does your laptop boot after? I've done that in the past as well, but it usually burns out USB port.
@@EdwardBraiman sadly nope... I haven't opened it up yet but I think it may have gone past the USB 3.0 port. I may just take it to a shop, it was a pricey laptop.

Do you say that if your Pronterface requires 10mm, the x-axis calibration will move by 20?

I'm in the middle of upgrading my Cetus3d-printer with this board and the TFT35 V3.0 display plus a Noctua fan.
Had to order some PT100K thermistors (B57560G1104F000) from Mouser and are now waiting for the delivery.
My TMC2208 works fine, just a little hum when the axis move.
Current value maybe a little high. Try moving the value down about 10% and see if the humming stops. Let me know how it works out.
@@EdwardBraiman Yea, I just set it to 500 mA in Marlin, just testing! Lots of paramerers I can play with. No magic smoke so far!
This was indeed a very frustrating experience...Had the same problem as Ryan Schmaltz. It's a damn MICROSOFT problem. (I have Winblows 10, 64bit) I don't know why after 24 years of the existence of USB, MS still can't get it right. Tried the below solution three times, didn't work. Finally had to remove sd card from printer, put it into a different card reader, which Win 10 did not recognize, had to format it (FAT) then manually copy the bin file from the directory it was saved in by Atom. Put it into the machine and theeeeeeennnnn, Voila! finally got the Ender screen to be more than a night light. Was able to move the axis and extruder. Then connected up the Raspberry PI, which recognized the new Ender reincarnation right away. Started Octoprint and am now running a stringing test. I am amazed at how quiet this thing is now. I am running 2208's for all four steppers in UART mode. Soldering the pads was a major pain. Good thing I had 5... I destroyed the first one. Perhaps the manufacturer of them could put a micro jumper pin set there...hint-hint. I needed to combine information from at least three videos to do this, none of them did it all. Here is the other main video, this is very helpful.
th-cam.com/video/GNGN2iSQ5j4/w-d-xo.html
I built the rear enclosure that this guy has on thingiverse.
I know this is one of your older Vids but Im love them all.I always try to like them and use the Amazon links when I can. No one else on TH-cam are making videos like this. I love the way you make the changes in Marlin and then exhibit what the changes ACTUALLY do. Please Please keep up the good work. Could you consider doing a video on closed loop? Specifically the built in closed loop function on the SKR 1.4
Thanks. I have a closed loop Nema17 stepper, I've just been busy with work so hopefully soon I'll have time to investigate and record a video.
All very clearly explained. Thank you

Thank you very much. Exactly what i needed to learn.

thanks for the clear tutorial, would also be helpful to show what solderpads need soldering on the tmc2208 as bigtree tech dont always solder the pads to use uart mode.
This maybe true, but I'm concerned some might not see the zero ohm resistor.
@@EdwardBraiman i only mentioned it as i ordered the 2208 from big tree which was meant to be pre-soldered for uart and came un-soldered

Merci beaucoup, tu es formidable
Vous êtes les bienvenus.
I bought this from them and their V3 drivers and they are weird as they are more universal because their pins go all the way through so can be used on the V1.3 via jumper or the wire loop mess on the other controllers. Pretty cool and forward thinking.
Yup.
Great video and well explained. Thanks a lot Edward! I just have subscribed !
You're welcome.
Great tutorials that you have!!
Many thanks for all things that you are doing...

thanks bro bro. exactly what I needed.
another very well explained video good work Edward :)
Thanks.
I did exactly the same thing that you do, but my motors don´t work, only make noise. Do I need calibrate the Vref? I really don´t know whats happens, your video is very good.
Can you post you configuration files for configuration.h and configuration_adv.h in Discord and I'll take a look?
Hello i have 4 question...
1. need soldering bottom pcb ? (J2)
2. TMC2208 V3 on Drive Extruder can use ?
3. STEP/DIR mode use with Drive Extruder ?
4. Different STEP/DIR mode and UART v3.0 on Drive Extruder ?
There are three modes you can use on tmc2208. I'm only addressing UART mode of stepping in the video. Soldering normally is not required unless there is a defect in manufacturing.
Best
GOOD JOB, very good
Thanks.
Other guides tell you to place a jumper on the 2nd row (under the drivers) if you want to use the UART mode. They also tell you to solde the j2's.
Why don't you?
I just keep getting tmc connection error and just don't know what else to do anymore.
(Skr 1.3, all tmc2208 V3 drivers, TFT 24 V1.1)
The jumper caps in correct position are still required. On underside of TMC steppers there was a quality issue that myself and other early adopter's experienced with zero ohm resistor falling off. Since then it's been mostly corrected.
thanks for the first steps. My Board is up and running so far. Now I wonder, if i can attach a capacitive Levelsensor and if additional MosFets are required like on my ANET-V1-Board, which the SKR will replace soon.
I avoid mosfets only because I don't use the heat on my heatbed.
Did the same on all XYZ and E but only XY working :(
Driver registers:
X 0xC0:0A:00:00
Y 0xC0:0C:00:00
Z 0x00:00:00:00 Bad response!
E 0x00:00:00:00 Bad response!
Testing X connection... OK
Testing Y connection... OK
Testing Z connection... Error: All LOW
Testing E connection... Error: All LOW
Check the solder joints on the steppers. Sometimes this have a weak joint or check the jumpers. Also try moving steppers to see if problem moves. Try swapping E and Z first.
hi thank your your helpful videos on this mainboard. ive got some spare a4988 and drv8825s that i can use but might get some tmc2208s in the future. whats the difference between v1.2, v2 and v3? is the v3 the only one that has uart plug and play?
V3 is the earliest to work with.
Edward Braiman, Hello, I am re-vamping my CR10S and using the SKR v1.3 board for this. I have a new extra set of LV8729 drivers, and hoping that they can be used, instead of having to buy different drivers. Will this be possible , or cause problems? Thanks
The board should support it
Hi Edward, Great explanation well presented. I have also new 1.3 board w/ 2208 v3 uart. I am planning 4 uart 2008 / X,Y,Z,E - question regards X_current 600 change from default . why? what the benefit ? is it ok to put all stepper motor current 800?.. x-axis. y-axis, z-axis, extruder? Thanks
Well you should use the datasheet and equation in the firmware to start, but for testing it's okay.
Maybe I missed it: Why are you using a DRV8825 for your Z-Axis?
It's for contrast. I'm trying to show people where to adjust steps, so they know later for the TMC.
Thank you for the video, I was going mad already. Just one thing that I still don't get a concrete answer from anywhere, what about the jumpers on the bottom side of the pcb? Did you solder those, and if you did, which one? The upper one or the lower one? (By upper I mean the one closer to the side that is written bottom)
They should be soldered on bottom if you purchase from bigtreetech, but you can inspect with a camera zoom to check.
@@EdwardBraiman yup got mine from them bundled with the mobo. But the mobo just died a few hours earlier, it turns on but the main chip became a huge resistance lol. But thanks, I will keep that in mind when ordering a new one, I had initially soldered mine like that, bottom wise, but even though the motors were working it would not home for the life of me, that's also something I have to work on.
Sorry, to hear about your motherboard. Do you know what caused the issue?
My friend, i have MKS TMC2208 v2.0 and BTT SKR v1.3 I want to know all steps same with in this video for MKS TMC2208 v2.0. I have seen some people solder pins need I do that for my setup ?
Avoid soldering pins.
Having a bit of trouble. Bit of a noob here to be honest. I followed you video very closely. When I uploaded the build it showed the BIN file on the SD. I unplugged the USB, waited a sec, then plugged back in. However, now my computer is saying the USB Device is not recognized. Little lost!
Got it fixed! Not sure how, but in case someone has the same issue.....?
Pulled the microSD and put it in a card reader. Showed the original cursor file along with the BIN. However, the BIN was showing a size of 0. deleted the file then used Atom again to upload the build but left the microSD inserted through the card reader. New BIN showed up. Plugged it back into the board, then the USB into the machine, and BINGO. It worked. Not sure what happened the first time but we're good to go now!
If it makes you feel any better, the same issue occured for me until I realized the operating system takes a moment to recognize device again. Also, I've made the mistake of not specifying, "#define serial_1 -1" several times.
Well, I appreciate the video. It helped this NOOB. Now I just have to get my ABL set up, everything wired, and I should be good to go!
What happened to how to turn on interpolate? You said you would show how to turn it on. I guess you forgot,
It's on advanced tab changing number 16 to 32 or 64 or 128 or 256.
Question: why change DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT for the Z to 8000? My Ender 3 Pro was set at 400 but in the video yours was already much higher and then you changed it to 8000. When I updated the firmware with that 8000 it made my Z Axis move 10x (estimated, could have been 20X) farther than it should. It also moved quite rapidly. When I went back and reverted to the default it is slow and normal again. Just want you to know, this is a great video, I never could have installed my SKR1.3 (different video) and 2208s without you. Thank you.
I'm using the firmware default in the video, otherwise as you noticed it will cause confusion. Great catch, for people in a similar situation as you. The actual values can be dereived from the RepRep calculator on Marlins webpage. Sometimes I'm just trying to hit the main setup points and skip the finer details. I'll try and remember to say something for SKR pro v1.1. currently I'm holding back on those videos until I have several.
@@EdwardBraiman Thanks, totally new at 3D printing but I've been a computer geek since the 80's. Loving that I have a reason and motivation to pull up my old skills for a practical purpose for this toy that makes toys.
You don't have to solder on the back of the driver to enable the UART?
Originally yes, but they fix most of their quality control issues, so it's not recommended anymore.
They had an issue with zero ohm resistor falling off at least in my case.
Super Video, musstest du an den Treibern nichts mehr Löten? meine V3 Uart kamen ohne Lötstelle oder sonstwas . Kann ich diese trotzdem so einsetzen wie du es getan hast?
Ich hatte eines, das einige Probleme hatte, aber die anderen vier schienen gut zu sein. Anscheinend fehlte ein wenig Lötzinn, aber es war in Ordnung, nachdem ich es mit dem Lötkolben berührt hatte.
I have the skr 1.3 board with the tmc2208 step sticks.
Upon compiling the firmware, it shows "the connection error".
Please cover the fix for that.
I did the solder jumper on the three little solder points only to find that it was the wrong thing to do. So, I purchased another set of the tmc2208 and did not do the solder mod. I placed the jumpers on the skr 1.3 board for uart mode. I don't really care if the uart works of not. I just want my printer to actually print.
Thank you.
I do not have the Big tree Tech drivers.
Well you'll need to check the datasheet for UART configuration on those steppers. It should not be that difficult. They explain which solder pads are required. Let me know how it turns out.
Thank you for all the info. I have 2 questions. first of all I did purchase 4 v3 2208 drivers. 1. if I use 2 motors on Z drive what do I set current to on that driver? 2. my old e-0 default steps is ###### do I set the same as in old software?
I would start with default setting after computing RMS and divide the connection using the technique ... th-cam.com/video/yrSSps4ZWQk/w-d-xo.html ... Start as if you're working with one motor. Let me know how it works out.
@@EdwardBraiman All working good at default settings. Sure is quiet with 32 bit board and 2208 drivers.
When you open your platform IO, it looks very different to the one I down loaded you have more option on the left hand side, it also does not show all the files that you’re showing, so can not open to edit anything, thanks Simon
It maybe related to me switching to VScode from ATOM with Platformio plug-in.
Edward Braiman I will look into the above I know more about SKR 1.3 than I did yesterday, if the file structure was fully open I would be able to do all the work required, I think you said for the usb and power supply, you can use both at the same time, presumable you need a jumper to short out all three pins? Thanks Simon
The jumper is only for two pins.
Driver for Extruder which best choice ? TMC2130 TMC2208 or DRV8825 ? for skr v1.3
Depends on you level of experience. As a beginner I recommend starting with drv8825. When you become more confident, then tmc2208. And when you're very experienced, then tmc2130. This is only because as a person gains knowledge they'll understand what's going on.
I just received Bigtreetech TMC2208 v3.0 drivers, and already have MKS GEN L V1.0 main board. For not I'm running them as standalone, but wondering how to properly wire them to be able to use UART in combination with this MKS board?
This videos scope is for SKR v1.3. you will need to read the manual for bigtreetech TMC 2208 as they may require changes. Also there is directions in Marlin firmware you need to follow.
Do the pins on the top of the 2208 need to be moved to the bottom like the others?
Should be as pictured in the video.
As the video is wrongfully labeled TMC2209.
I'm actually configuring the TMC2209 in the SKR1.3 and stepped into communication problems.
Turns out it has to do with the wiring of Rx/Tx on the stepsticks.
Mine had an internal 1KOhm that got inline with the TX on the SKR board, so uart signal level seemed not sufficiant and communication failed.
This may be important to check for different 2209 and 2209 sticks when having no success with M122.
I got it finally fixed by using an additional jumper on the SPI jumper block effectively shorten the Rx/Tx pins of my TMC2209 step sticks
Reference here: github.com/bigtreetech/BIGTREETECH-SKR-V1.3/issues/59
Not sure I understand, the video is for tmc2208. Could clarify?
Okay I think I understand you're saying to do TMC 2209 you'll need to add a jumper. Good to know.
@@EdwardBraiman
a) I still have a cashed copy that labels TMC2209, guess there was a typo when uploading?
b) the communication problem may not just be for 2209. 2208 and 2209 communication is rather identical. It's the problem that the pinout of the step sticks seems to be not standardised.
My 2209 are FYSETC v2.1 and you recognise the variant with seperate Rx/Tx pins, the pin sequence is EN, MS1, MS2, TX, RX, CLK . There seems to be an 1kOhm between Rx and Tx pin and only the Rx connects directly to the TMC chip.
This sticks obviously have an integrated Rx/Tx sepearation circuit that conflickts with the BigTree layout. This separation circuit is already on the SKR layout when you check their shematic. Otherwise you get level problems between Rx and Tx on the micro controller ports because of the added 1kOhm on the stick.
So the SKR1.3 connects the UART jumper to the sticks TX pin only, but expect a single UART pin going directly to the TMC pin on the step stick and do the Rx/Tx break out with the 1kOhm in the SKR board layout.
By the additional jumper I can fix this and bypass the 1kOhm on the step stick between Rx/Tx and the SKR gets access directly to the TMC chip pin. So I spare myself the modification on the step stick with solder irron and tiny surface mounted components.
Just wanted to note, that you need to be carefully with step stick VARIANTS out there.
That's because the step sticks aren't standardized for the Rx/Tx pinout and you may get similar problems with random 2208 sticks as well as some 2209. There is no guarantee that they do it as Bigtree expects it.
I think Bigtree takes this in consideration on their step own step sticks, but when using random cheep chinese supplies you can have the same UART problem with any 2208/2209 clone sticks.
@@EdwardBraiman He's referring to the title of the video. You wrote "SKR 1.3 - TMC2209 UART v3.0" instead of "SKR 1.3 - TMC2208 UART v3.0"
@@simonhersche6720 Yeah.
Don’t you also need to solder together the pads under the 2208 drivers for UART?
Not anymore, they should be in place when you order the steppers.
@@EdwardBraiman thx and good to know. I ordered my board and steppers a while ago and it was a real pain to solder the pads together
Just remember most the time this should not be required. Also soldering can add danger of stepper failure.

Also thanks for fast reply :)
Are they TMC 2208 UART Steppers? Can you tell me about your settings in Marlin firmware?
Edward Braiman Dang! I think you may be right, I got the combo from aliexpress and it was the TMC 2208 DIY x5 option instead of the TMC 2208 UART x5 option. I didn’t even realize there was multiple options. So this means I need to order new stepper drivers right?
Well unless you can modify yours to work the same.

If I choose not to run with the Pi turned on, the screen remains blank even when printer is on. Is it always necessary to switch that jumper to operate with or without the Pi?
The Pi seems to timeout quickly and disconnects from the board often. Apparently I’m missing something.
Are you programming board from Raspberry pi?
@@EdwardBraiman No just running Octoprint. I actually find it easier to pull the sd and upload directly to the sd from Platform IO.

@@EdwardBraiman I'll be waiting for Your video! Thanks!
Beloved Edward, can you please tell us what this spying mod is and what it is usefull for? how do you set the board to spying?
It's called SPI, for serial peripheral interface. It's a hardware configuration with software to communicate via specified hardware address. The reason I don't go into extreme detail is to have some ask for more detail. In the case of the pins file, the pin for a specific stepper like TMC 2130 in a SPI configuration will say move the stepper this amount base of PWM (pulse width modulation). This can also be applied to other device like LCD, data transportation, ECT. Keep in mind I'm trying to teach a simple task for people to maintain interest in 3d print and learn on there own in greater detail. If I spent 45 minutes explain how packets are assembled and transfered over a wire people would become bored. If I start talking about the software protocol development and abandonment by 🍎 corporation. If you would like I can talk in great detail as I've worked on SPI for a number of years professionally? Personally, I want people like yourself to challenge me by challenging yourself to teach others with empathy and encourage learning. Thank you for explaining to me I was not detailed enough, I'll work on it while trying to keep the tutorials fun.
Sorry I water down the tutorial as a way to keep most interested in learning how the printers function. I want to make it look easy to learn.
uh oh, followed the video and almost everything worked. The one thing that didn't work was the LCD. Tried to install the u8glib in atom and uploaded again. After pulling and putting back the USB cord, Things went dead. Now when I plug in the USB cord, the computer no longer recognizes the board. Not sure what happened but kinda stuck
Alright, copied a firmware.bin directly to disc and restarted and it came up.
Platformio will handle files for LCD.
another thing ,it seems dose not support the spi mode of tmc2301
It appears to support SPI for TMC2130 at least with the tests I ran. It's tied to the TMC 2130 step stick Bigtreetech produces. It may have issues using other SPI devices at same time. I had issues with it working consistently with USB jumper in 5v position.
Thanks so much for the lecture. I did what you said, but I get a TMC CONNECTION ERROR error on the screen. Can you help me?
Are you using the hardware in the video?

skr v1.3 and TMC2208 v3 diy. Need to join the pins? How can I do it? Thanks
You'll need to solder the pads on the bottom per your diy datasheet with a zero ohm resistor.
Thank you so much 😊 i will try this
You're welcome.
Hi Edward do like tutorials I am making a DLP 3d printer at the moment, I have been looking at this TMC2208 and this board will it run nema23 stepper motor 2.80A?
It may check the datasheet in the summary below video under documents.
This might be a better option. www.trinamic.com/products/integrated-circuits/details/tmc5160/
@@EdwardBraiman Hi do you know if the TMC5160 compatible with SKR v1.3 printer board, I've looked at spec, step driver is not listed?
Can this board be setup to drive a CNC machine with external (Gecko) drives?
The board can do CNC as for machine types unsure, but anything is possible.
@@EdwardBraiman I believe it can, CNC is not much different than a 3d printer. The printer lacks an analog for the spindle and all inputs and outputs need isolated, but that is not hard to do. I just got one in and will be attempting to use on a CNC router that I am building. I will let you know how that goes.
Using Visual Studio Code with PlatformIO installed.
In the old marlin you could see where your board is connected on the PC. This Marlin 2 is nothing but a pain to work with. How do you know if the board is connected to PlatformIO? I get these "select" options but obviously they refer to Marlin 1.xx
I followed the instructions here, same TMC2208 drivers, do a PlatformIO build and get LPC1768 Failed

I've only done 1 board with Marlin2.... the board does not connect to platformio. Its the suite you use to edit & compile the firmware. Then you copy the file over to your SD card. With the printer off insert the card then power on. The firmware will "auto install" to the printer. Tim at TH3Dstudios did a good demo/walk thru of this with his EZLite board.
Watch "TF drive Marlin firmware loading"... on this channel
Whops, the title says tmc2209
But still a great video
Bigtreetech finally processed my order for tmc2209, today. I've been trying to aquire for months.
Oh my, lucky you!
Third try is a charm.
Thanks for the video although when I do this, I get a "TMC CONNECTION ERROR" error. I've connected the pdn and uart pins but I still get the error. What could the problem be?
Which brand of stepper driver do you have?
@@EdwardBraiman Bigtreetech 2208 v3.0 for all steppers
Does it say UART? Try swapping steppers, one or more might be missing soldered resistor.
@@EdwardBraiman The only 4 drivers I have are the 2208s. I've tried all of them and they all present the same issue.
I was also wondering if I would have to solder 2 of the J2 pads together ( imgur.com/a/rrYrgOk ) since on bigtreetech's video of the 2208s, they say that they will need to be soldered together for UART mode ( th-cam.com/video/k3Uc1F5jgVQ/w-d-xo.html ) although some people do claim that that is false.
@@anon44129 if you are still using 12v. It will do that. IE using usb on laptop.. It should work on 24v
Hi Edward, in earlier TMC2208 versions in combination with MKS GEN L V1.0 board the stepper direction has to be inverted. Did I understand it right that it's not necessary with Bigtreetech SRK 1.3 & TMC2208 V3 combination.
It maybe nessary depends on you configuration. If you're upgrading and direction changes yes. If you building initially then you may plan for it.
@@EdwardBraiman thnx Edward
@@EdwardBraiman is my assumption correct, for the UART use (with SRK v1.3 or v1.4 boards) Vref Max on TMC2208 doesn't have to be set per potentiometer
Yes.
@@EdwardBraiman thnx
Do you have a video for the SKR mini and instructions for the Ender 3?
Soon.
@@EdwardBraiman Thanks
You're welcome.
Thank you for all your video teaching me how to set up the skr1.3
I followed all step by step, but I am not able to generate the firmware.bin through atom. It said failed. I downloaded the marlin of skr1.3 from bigtreetech github. I did success once. And I try next day with same step same file. It failed.
Can I ask someone send me the .cur file directly replace the current one to update?
P.s I am a beginner. I might have asked stupid question.
First does a defualt folder project build okay? What I'm saying is open a fresh download that has been unzipped and click check mark in platformio inside ATOM.
If it's not working checkout the instructions on how to install ATOM with Platformio instructions on marlinfw.org. You may also need to install Git to make it work from ATOM.
but i get a TMC conenction error on the lcd why?
Check if you see the same issue in Pronterface. It may have a setup issue.
@@EdwardBraiman i sthere a specific command? because it shows no errors , infacet i can move them usign the graphcal command, but its rought and i am sure its wrong
@@EdwardBraiman i just fixed it :D , it was 50-50 chance risk but it worked , you have to solder pads at the bottom , omg it felt like surgery any way thanks man :D
I have the exact same setup and did exactly the same as you did in the firmware.
I tried it with 2 x SKR 1.3 and 2 x Bigtreetech tmc2208 V2.1 and 4 x Bigtreetech tmc2208 V3
M122 will always give me this nonsense:
X 0x00:00:00:00 Bad response!
Testing X connection... Error: All LOW
This is for all drivers on all boards all sockets, so I assume it's a software issue. And yes, I soldered the uart pads on the v2.1 drivers. The V3 came as uart ready and have an smd resistor (as it seems) already soldered in place.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I am about to lose my mind! :)
Forget about it, I just solved it! It needs to be connected to a decent powersupply, as the 5V USB connection does't seem to suffice. After hours of tinkering it now works :)
Good to know. I had many problems trying to get the tutorial as usable as possible. Thanks for the update. I'll be doing SPI tonight and it was difficult to make as clear as possible. I'm planning to explain RMS in another tutorial, just needed to find a way to explain for as many people as possible. Trying to explain precalculus and calculas in an understandable way is a challenge.
i have the same error im using 12V5A power supply what are yours?
12v 30a power supply.
@@EdwardBraiman Thanks for your reply! Yup, that was indeed the issue. I tried to run the command from USB as a power source. Once connected to my power supply, it worked just fine :)
hello I have the tmc2209 1.1 drivers and if I give the command M122 pronterface it gives me an error command unknown according to how come?
Unfortunately I have not yet been able to get a tmc2209 to test, but I'm guessing something is not configured correctly in the hardware.
@@EdwardBraiman I'm having the identical problem. Everything else works though, I can send commands through pronterface.
Check configuration_adv.h sounds like it's not enabled.
@@EdwardBraiman hi, i solved it with bigtreetech assistance.
thanks
@@marcoborghetti2062 You just committed the worst internet sin possible, the "never mind, I found the solution" response. CAN YOU ELABORATE????
When I go to Save and build it gives me an error saying platformio is not recognized as an internal or external command..do I need to give it permissions somehow? I missed something.
Is this the first time with platformio build? I just starting seeing issues with mine today. Check and see if link to Git is missing?
@@EdwardBraiman This is the first time for me.. Where do I find this link to git? Sorry for the noob questions.. I cannot find "platformio.exe" or anything similar on my PC.
@@EdwardBraiman I may have missed something, but followed it to the letter.. I installed PlatformIO IDE from the packages in Atom. Do I need to install python or something maybe?

Hi. Did you make an Tutorial for the TMC 2209? Or what must i change? Are you German? :) Thx
I worked on the TMC 2209, but the results might have Marlin issues. Most the week I've been trying to explain to Marlin the issues with BLtouch. Might need to spend weekend digging thru firmware versions to explain issue to them. My last name sounds like Bremen in German, but it's very middleeastern, it translates to decendant of Abraham in Hebrew.
@@EdwardBraiman thx for the Answer. Many uses the skr 1.3 with the tmc2209 without issues. But no one with the Sidewinder X1. And thx for the Ancestor Lesson :)
Lovely 👍will u make with skr and tmc2209, tmc5160
I'm thinking about it.
@@EdwardBraiman would love to see you doing the skr v1.3 with tmc2209
Another great tutorial on the SKR V1.3, thanks. One question, you mentioned in the video that the drivers came already prepared for UART mode. How can you tell? I bought a Kit from Amazon (SKR v1.3, TMC2208 and TFT35) which are supposed to be in UART but I am not sure how to tell if they are: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WH6P9RC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The UART is in the development environment from Platformio. Just remembered to load VScode and not ATOM. ATOM is no longer supported with Platformio.
Edward Braiman thanks
You're welcome.
UART vs SPI which better ?
There different, but similar. I like them both.
Can i instal firmware useing only usb card?
I've not tried to, but should be possible.
Need an update, please. Thanks.
I'd update, but not sure board is sold anymore.
I have tmc2208 v1.2 uart from fysetc and it came with SetpStick Protector..
Any difference...?
Benneficts...? Or not needed..?
Unfortunately Bigtreetech added a resistor I think which seems to lock people into there products. Granted I've not verified this personally.
@@EdwardBraiman you think that the tmc that I have won't work with this board?
You may need to add a resistor via the top of the stepper. The note in Marlin firmware may apply in this case.
@@EdwardBraiman For what i see. Yes i have so solder 2 spots under the board to make it work in uart mode...
Let us know if it works.
Do you have maybe firmware for Ender 5 with skr1.3 and tmc2208 v3 ? I am trying to flash firmware and set up everything but it is a lot for my skills ha ha

@@EdwardBraiman I have LPC1768 failed error all the time. Can you help me with this ?
Three things come to mind, configuration.h motherboard, serial port. Platformio.ini, Default environment is LPC1768. Also try doing a fresh unzipped build with default configuration. Also make sure your computer is connected to internet while building/compiling to pull need files. Hope this helps

If you're seeing what you think is a Marlin firmware error, you might want to open a bug on Marlin Git page.
DRV2588 is the most silent.
The drv8825, was tuned before video.
i keep getting an error for LPC1768
If you're using platformio, do you have Git loaded? What's the error message?
All it say is environment LPC1796 faild
1768
I got it I unplugged the bored and redid everything make sure I did it right
this board is not good, it has not enought io pin,. when you want do some advance change,you will get in trouble with it,
It's not a perfect board, but it's progress toward a better 32 bit design.
what if we are mostly happy with our 3d printer and just want a slight increase in speed and quality and a major decrease in noise? that's what mostly everyone here is looking for, we're not trying to land on mars with these things
Well I think the moon lander in 1969 had an 11 bit processor, so it's almost three times better.
First, thanks for compiling this video, it has been very helpful! I have a question I am hoping you can help me with dealing with a failure during the build process, specifically with the xpt2046.cpp file. When I try to create a build, it gives me multiple errors dealing specifically with the xpt2046.cpp file, errors seen in this screen shot. snipboard.io/aWK1B7.jpg What could be causing this issue? Thanks for your help
Is this a fresh download? I'm unsure of the issue other than something with chip select, which is normally used in SPI. If you download a fresh copy of Marlin firmware and see it again I suggest opening a bug on Marlin firmware GitHub page.
yeah, it's a fresh download from yesterday, from a file that was last uploaded 18 days ago to the git hub site here..
github.com/bigtreetech/BIGTREETECH-SKR-V1.3/tree/master/BTT%20SKR%20V1.3/firmware/Marlin-bugfix-2.0.x/Marlin/src/feature/touch
Guess I shall open a bug on the page. In the mean time, would it be possible to send the code from a working xpt2046.cpp file to paste into the file to get it going?
Checkout Marlin firmware www.marlinfw.org and see if the same. nice catch.
yup, the same. Guess I shall have to wait on this fix
Is there an existing issue/bug already opened? If not you'll look like a hero for opening one.
U art on You Tube means??
It's UART it's protocol to describe wiring and communication.
