hello guys,
im building a corexy printer and using the azteeg x5 mini v3 as the controllerboard and 42BYGHM809 0,9 degree motors.
and i would like to be the tmc2100 to be the stepper driver but i can’t get them to work properly. When the motors are not moving they twitch. you cant see them moving but you can feel it making tiny movements. Also when i try to move after a few movements they stop and the printer tells me to reset. I think this might be because the rev voltage on the stepper driver is wrong and they overheat.
On the github of the tmc2100 is has a note at the faq about settings the voltage on the stepper
Note: On some stepper motor drivers the maximum current (e.g. A4988) is set via Vref and on others the RMS current (e.g. TMC2100).
so the rms current of the motor is 1.7A so i have to put ref v on the stepper driver to 1.7 right?
I also left the cfg2 pin out on the stepper driver and put a jumper on m3 on the board to put it to 1/16th steps and under here is my configfile
