Good tutorial, but at this time you should use the TMC2209s, they can handle higher currents or the same current without overheating, I use them without a cooling fan and they work very well, many improvements, including sensorless homing
@@samjanssens1509 Yes you do, but not all TMC2209 are the same, there a various brands and versions... Key is to check which pin is used for sensorless homing and how the serial communication is wired
I think the information about the missing resistor is the problem at 2:20min. On my driver is there nothing so I have to connect this pads. could you define the resistor amount because the documentation shown nothing. thx for your help
I know the chipset is the same as for the board they are mounted on unsure. I'm still waiting on mine to arrive from MakerBase they're sending me sample boards to examine.
Thanks for this video. I’m also getting the TMC connection error. MKS SGEN L 1.0 and 5 TMC2208. Don’t you need to add 2 pin headers on each driver ? You did it on the 2209’s when you swaped them for these 2208’s.
I fixed my TMC error by soldering the 2 small pads togethers on the back of the drivers. Then you dont have to select “stand alone” mode in the Marlin code.
Edward Braiman thank a lot for your tutorial, I am putting together my print and I get the 1.4 turbo board, I want to know if it can work with 3 independent axis BL, I find that only 5 axis on the board, Can I add Step motor expansion board?
@@EdwardBraiman Thank you very much, while the jumpers I saw that you removed from all axes, it is necessary or I can only remove from the x and y axis
I installed 3 TMC2208. When booting, there is an error message: "TMC Connection Error". But the printer still working fine... Tarantula Pro MKS SGEN L v1.0 Marlin 2.0.7.2
It happened to me too. On configuration.h insted of tmc2208, i wrote 2208 standalone and it fixed it... Dont know if it is the right way but it fixed...
thanks for the insight. I am in the process of doing a brain swap on my old ctc replicator dual thats now a single extruder and powered by the mks Sgen_L with 2130 spi drivers and your video`s have helped out a bit. thx again
i have the mks gen 1.4 and using the e1 stepper where since all aux two pins are used do i use the other uart jumpers

Sounds interesting.
is the procedure the same ? i have 2209's with the 2 extra pins, do i still need the jumpers ?
@@samjanssens1509 Yes you do, but not all TMC2209 are the same, there a various brands and versions... Key is to check which pin is used for sensorless homing and how the serial communication is wired
Where did you bse your DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT on? It seems way higher than my firmware was on :)
It's based on reprap calculator.
@@EdwardBraiman which one? :). As in. Where do I find it?
@@victoroos This will vary with modern steppers like TMC ... blog.prusa3d.com/calculator_3416/
have the same driver and board and followed your instruction but get "tmc connection error" on screen
I think the information about the missing resistor is the problem at 2:20min. On my driver is there nothing so I have to connect this pads. could you define the resistor amount because the documentation shown nothing. thx for your help
Hi , do you know if theres a difference between btt 2008 and mks 2208 ? in time, your videos are really helpful

TMC2208_STANDALONE you have to
No sure I understand stand alone.

@@jvejvad yes right same here
Hi! where did you put the pin header for the tm2208 standalone ?
Edward Braiman thank a lot for your tutorial, I am putting together my print and I get the 1.4 turbo board, I want to know if it can work with 3 independent axis BL, I find that only 5 axis on the board, Can I add Step motor expansion board?
In theory, yes.
But it's in my SKR 1.4 playlist.
@@EdwardBraiman I was looking on your video to followup, I just finish your video of firmware update in my new 1.4
it is worth switching the z axis and extruder or it makes no difference
In my opinion it may not help.
@@EdwardBraiman Thank you very much, while the jumpers I saw that you removed from all axes, it is necessary or I can only remove from the x and y axis
X and y are required per video instructions.
I installed 3 TMC2208.
When booting, there is an error message: "TMC Connection Error".
But the printer still working fine...
Tarantula Pro
MKS SGEN L v1.0
Marlin 2.0.7.2
Was the power off and where did you see the error on the TFT or LCD or a connection in serial?
What's connected to MKS sGEN l v1?
It happened to me too. On configuration.h insted of tmc2208, i wrote 2208 standalone and it fixed it... Dont know if it is the right way but it fixed...
Which manufacturer of TMC are you using?
