How would you enable BLTouch with this setup? I keep reading things about it being busted and I've already killed several boards by accident trying to get my SKR1.4Turbo/TMC2209v1.2... So I'm at a loss and it's starting to kill me... It's all so complicated... I just wanted to fix my printer, but I everywhere I go I run into issues with this stuff.. :( The company that sold my original printer doesn't exist anymore so I can't go to them and ask now... I really need help..
Thanks for the videos, I just bought the TMC and SKR form your Amazon Affiliate Links... just bought a Clone Prusa i3 MK3 Bear, hoping everything is fine.
Another awesome video...Why did you go and get your Marlin copy from the Marlin github instead of the BTT github like you did with the SKR 1.3? Are both the repositories updated the same? Are the versions of Marlin that you can get on the BTT github already partially configured for the 1.3 and 1.4?
Great info in your vid. I was trying to understand the real benefit of setting native steps to 64 vs 16 since TMC2209 will interpolate to 256 and if native 64 is a real gain why not going all the way up to 256 native ? is torque the problem ? please try to clarify this if possible, thank you for effort.
There are various reasons why 256 might have issue as some users have said, but they a maybe related to firmware or the datasheet over claiming it's capabilities. I like to warn people in case there is an issue. Marlin firmware has been patched recently so it may work now.
Hi, thanks for the amazing video. I looked around and seems to be a shortage of TMC2209. But the few I saw, some are v1.2 others v3.0. Some are branded Bigtreetech other are Biqu or other brands. Which I can consider reliable? On a stock printer, like my CR10s, you suggest to change the stepper motors or I can keep them? Thank you
Well I've not used the 3.0 version, but it sound like a usable alternative. Just remember to check for UART. If it's missing you'll be knee deep in datasheets.
Great video, I am running into the issue that my x axis only goes one (positive) direction. SKR 1.4 turbo with btt 2209 v1.2. with bltouch (assuming here is an issue?) Testing X connection... OK Testing Y connection... OK Testing Z connection... OK Testing E connection... OK working in this since 3 days, I have no clue.
I'm probably going to have time over the holidays. Right now I'm working on a big tutorial for something else people have requested. It might be a week or two before I can start looking into the details.
i am looking forward to update my printer .. I have a DIY printer and I use ramps1.4 currently .. You had the credit for your detailed lessons on dealing with ramps1.4 for the success of my printer and it was an entry only for me but I was confused. Which version should I adopt from skr board ... You can advise me of your personal opinion because it matters to me very much and it is a source of confidence for me ... I do not have experience dealing with this board, I rely on your videos and explain it to you, so what do you think? Thank you very much.
By definition, UART is a hardware communication protocol that uses asynchronous serial communication with configurable speed. Asynchronous means there is no clock signal to synchronize the output bits from the transmitting device going to the receiving end.
Really enjoy listening to how you explain things, very easy to follow and stress free...;)
Thanks.
I've been using sensorless homing for a month now with no problems.

There is a Discord link in description many people can walk you thru SKR configuration.
Excellent tutorial. Very clear. Thank you!
You're welcome.

Let us know how it works out.
@@EdwardBraiman I will, Thank you!

Marlinfw.org should always be used because it's the most current.
Is there firmware to drive a CNC router for this board. I will use external stepper drives. Thank you for any help you can provide
Technically Marlin firmware can be used for CNC. Unfortunately I've not done a tutorial on it as my building walls are thin.
@@EdwardBraiman Thank you for your response, If you hear of one please let me know, Thanks good video
You're welcome.

Might be the board processing power also a problem? @@EdwardBraiman
Maybe, I need to read the opened or closed issues on Marlin firmware bug database to know more.

Testing X connection... OK

working in this since 3 days, I have no clue.
What happens when you first home any direction and then try and move positive from that and then negative in other direction?
Thanks for explaining so well! do you by chance if the 2209`s work with the sensorless homing with the verts marlin 2.0.x ?

@@EdwardBraiman Thank you very much Edward!! Currently setting up my geeetech a10 with the skr 1.4 Turbo :D
You're welcome.
in my marlin screen appears "tmc connection error" do you know what that means? it's a 1.4 skr turbo with tmc 2209 1.2 drivers
check jumpers under stepper drivers
@@Ecevitnl76 I have the same problem and the jumpers are correct.
Is the system powered by PSU or USB?
@@EdwardBraiman psu
Is it all of the steppers or a couple?

The most useful SKR for most is SKR 1.4. depends on your use case it should be similar to RAMPS 1.4 in many ways.
@@EdwardBraiman thank you a lot thats all what i need
You're welcome.
I am guessing the install is very similar to the MKS SGEN L? Thanks for another detailed guide!
MKS Gen L is very different. You'll need to do special wiring to use.
@@EdwardBraiman oh, right, the 8-bit is very different from the 32-bit, I wish they had more distinctive names than an s in the middle of it
Can we get a z and e install guide plz?
Can you please do tutorial on 3Dtouch for skr1.4
I'm hoping to maybe have a tutorial ready over the holiday break.
Tks
You're welcome.
u never explained what UART is
