I recently got 2 TMC 2130 drivers for my printer, and after following Tom’s guide on how to install them, I am getting no movement at all out of the driver. I hooked up my laptop for the console output, and I am getting a “short to ground” and “overheating” error on my driver, however, the driver is most certainly overheating, and I followed a guide on how to get rid of the short to ground error, only to have it still occurring after a few move commands(with no actual movement occurring). Does anyone know what to do? (these are genuine from filastruder btw) Any help would be greatly appreciated!
These are the original drivers… Filastruder is the US reseller for these drivers from Trinamic
I may do that in the future, however, I think that the community has more experience with these drivers specifically in terms of usage with 3D printing. Trinamic may be great for providing me with generic support, however, I think this is an issue that specifically links to 3d printing.
What current do you have them at?
800, as set in marlin
Did you put the necessary pin definitions in the correct file? Marlin was reporting overtemp warnings when I tried to set them up. In my case, the problem was that I had tried to put the pin definitions in configuration.h rather than modifying the appropriate pin definition files. Turns, out, you can’t do it that way.
I did modify the pins.h file for the cs pin as it was recommended by other forums in order to get rid of the error, however that has not fixed the issue. The other pins were left to default and plugged in as per Tom’s guide
Try the latest build. Issues with the TMC drivers have recently been fixed. Ensure that SDI on the drivers wires up to the MOSI. And SDO to MISO. I had that mixed up initially… Also ensure that you are powering them using your PSU and not only with the USB. It will report overtemp and shortage due to the Register reading of 000000
I have the latest Marlin, 1.1.8, and I double checked the wiring. I am running on PSU. Still no luck.
I did everything according to Tom’s guide… I’m not at all experienced in electrical engineering of any kind, all I know is that I have a ramps 1.4, and everything is wired up as per the guide.
Can you send photos of your wiring harness as well as your drivers? Upload a link to both of your config files.
Try Marlin 1.x bugfix on github
Sure, I will send the wiring as soon as possible, as for the config: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1nGefAzx_lrZzUxKW-uyPr2mzU3WSnfyZ?usp=sharing
This has my entire marlin.
That is the genuine marlin strait from githib… I haven’t touched that section of code.
I still have not actually… I’m thinking of contacting filastruder at this point
