How do you make UART mode work on an Arduino? (Not 3D printer) The TMC2209 V2.0 from Makerbase does not read/write on UART pin (PDN_UART). Why is it connected to 0 ohm resistor R8? I have a 1k ohms resistor between TX/RX as per the datasheet.
Hello, in the configuration file, you need to set the subdivision value of the driver to 64 subdivision, and then set the Number of microsteps of each axis to 64 in the advanced settings. #define X_MICROSTEPS 64 // Number of microsteps #define Y_MICROSTEPS 64 #define Z_MICROSTEPS 64
i just want to change the x and y i remove the jumpers only from x and y does the rest leave as correct? and I don't want to activate the sensors so I remove all jumpers from -x, -y, -z, + x + y correct? if I change only the x and y will I already be getting the correct benefit?
Is the jumper configuration with all three jumpers under the driver in place correct for the MKS Gen L V1.0? Also, what would the firmware adjustments be for the MKS Gen L V1.0? Thanks for your help.
Good evening. It's me again. May the sound be because a misconfiguration on current consumption? I have 5 nema 17 ones, two on z axis, one on x, one on y and one on extruder. The only one which is silent, is the couple on Z axis... seems that the current set is responsible. Any idea? Thanks in advance.
@@makerbaseteam4217 Hello! it is 1.7A, the uppper limit of the driver (safe limit). Already tested and still noisy. I`m thinking in elliminate al jumpers, and configure as 1/8, but, if works, will tell me that 2209 isn´t good, at least for a MKS Gen_L V1.0
Hi I have the Tevo Tornado which use a 24v power supply, my question is what should I set the define value for "CHOPPER_TIMING" ? I currently have it set to "CHOPPER_DEFAULT_12V" but I've seen this in one of your video set to "CHOPPER_DEFAULT_24V" but nothing is explained.
hello, i want to ask one more question i can install only the driver on the x and y axis and even then i will have improvement in noise / resolution or i need to install the z axis and e0 (extruder)
Good evening. I'm having troubles configuring my MKs Gen_L V1.0 mother to use with TMC2209 drivers. I got 4 MKS 2209 V2.0 drivers, and set them up as video indicates (first leaving 3 jumpers on, then disconnecting the right one under each driver). Then modify voltages for 1v X axis, 1.2v Y axis, 1V Z axis, and 1.2 E1 axis (Extruder). Then , calibrate steps/mm on each axis usigno the formula indicated on manual (360/1.8)* 16 / X. I have 2 ACME screws each one for X and Y axis, with 8mm lead each one, and 2 acme screws for Z axis, with 2mm lead each one, working together., so, the set was (400, 400, 1600, 94) on each driver (X, Y, Z, E1). When defined the name of the driver (TMC22090), system took the reference as an UART enabling order, which is wrong, cause this mother model has no UART connection. Then changed it back to the original A4988, but still works wrong. The symptom is a loud noise on X and Y axes, with lost of steps, meaning that bed and hotend misses their positions, making impossible to use the printer. Would you kindly help me to define which other changes must I do on config files? Thanks in advance.
@@makerbaseteam4217 Thank you for your fast response! i did, replaced it in firmware with A4988, as a generic one, and eliminated the "TMC driver has no connection" in the display. But still can't make it work properly... the noise is the same, (I used 1/16 divisions), and used the first message setup. Is there another modification that I have to do in configuration.h, or configuration_adv.h? Or maybe another file?
@@makerbaseteam4217 No, i bought it completely new, from the same provider where i bought the printer. 4988 is slightly noisy, buth this one sounds like it gives to the motor much more pulses that it can hadle...
Nice video. Just got board and drivers from your store. Got updated MKS Gen_L 2.1 and TMC2209 v2.0.To use sensorless homing i neet change pin "drive ic power" to 3.3v?

I am using MKS TMC2209 V2.0 and mks gen l v 2.1. nema 17 motors available. The x and e0 engines are getting incredibly hot. vref I set it to 1.25v, I set 0.8v for all of them. I have not been able to find what I did wrong. Can you help me ?
Hello, can the motor rotate? If the motor can rotate and the temperature is high, then the driving voltage needs to be lowered. What is the rated current of your motor? The driving current needs to be lower than the rated current of the motor. Does your TMC2209 use normal mode or uart mode?
The TMC2209 V1.0 of mks are not compatible with the socket of a SGEN_L since the diag is in another part of the driver. You have to solder and bend the pin to make it fit poorly. A very big failure on its part since it sells these drivers as compatible with sensorless homing and also does not explain it in the video !! I had to find out for myself!
They are basically the same. The factory current has a little error. The final current still needs to be set according to the rated current of your motor.

Can you prepare a tutorial for TMC2209 driver use with arduino uno (not for 3d printing). How can i adjust vref or microstepping via uart?
Normal mode can be used, the peak current is equal to Vref (for example: Vref=0.8V, therefore, the peak current is equal to 0.8A)
