setting up tmc2209 drivers in DEV2

JDS598 · March 2022

So I am getting ready to try DEV2 on my printer and have a question about settings for 2209 drivers. I am only using them for X and Y. In the define line for stepper motors

STEPPER_TMC2209_HW_UART(name, stepPin, dirPin, enablePin, serial, rsense, microsteps, currentMillis, stealth, hybridSpeed, slaveAddr, stallSensitivity, fclk, minEndstop, maxEndstop)

I am not sure what value to use for serial, it isn't covered in the docs. Is that the pin on the control board used to communicate with the driver. Also for the slaveAddr i assume that I would assign say X with 1 and Y with 2? is that correct?

If I am correct with both, does that mean that 2209's can be daisy chained together from the same pin? Thanks!

serial is at least for hw serial the serial id of the processor you use. On which pins these are depends on the chip used. See pinout for that board - it hopefully contains serial numbers as well. TX0/RX0 is serial 0, RX3,TX3 is serial 3.

slaveAddr is something I never used. I think they are 0 and 1, but you need to define driver for it I think. Never used it as I only had one chip for testing. That I just send the info to the driver library used.

I am using an arduino due with a ramps fd v2. It looks like D14 and D15 are TX3 and RX3, would both have to connect to the driver? And then set serial to 3 I am assuming.

What do you mean by send the info to the driver library? How do I do that?

I don't know very much at all about code so I apologize if these are simple questions, thanks for the help.

Repetier · March 2022

Yes, that would be serial 3 then.
>What do you mean by send the info to the driver library? How do I do that?
Our firmware includes a library for controlling the drivers, we did not write it on our own. There is a field for slaveAddr which gets the value. When you see in the TMC2209 datasheet you see that they also have that as address. Not sure, if your stepper board has a pin to select an address. In that case it would always be 0 and you need one serial per driver then. One of the reasons I prefer the SPI version where only a chip select pin is required and any pin would do.

So I set up the X and Y drivers for the 2209's and I am getting this error

I believe the error is from putting 3 for serial, is there something else I have to define to make it work? I tried from 0-3 for serial as that's how many tx/rx pins I have on the DUE. I also tried typing serial3 as well as d14 and 14 which is the digital pin number.

JDS598 · March 2022

So I figured out my problem with serial I think. Serial 3 needed a capitol S, after I did that the error went away. the problem I am having now is that when I try to home or move the motors the X and Y motors just kind of click and don't move while the Z motor does nothing. the way I have the serial connections to the motors is 1 wire going from serial 3(D14 on DUE) to both X and Y 2209 PDN, I am using jumpers to set slave address, Z and EX0 are on simple drivers. is that the correct way to wire them? or do I need to connect both tx3 and rx3 (D14 and D15 on DUE) to PDN with a resistor on one of the wires. I see that on some forums but I also see on rep rap forum it can be done with one wire and no resistor.

Have a look at the motion g-codes, especially M122
https://docfirmwarev2.repetier.com/GCodes/motion_gcodes#m122

It shows settings read from driver. You should first ensure communication is working and best test is to see your settings. You can test changing microsteps and see if they changed for example.

Regarding wiring serial - you know that for serial connection TX goes to RX and vice versa? In my test with one driver I did not use a resistor. Assumed stepper board would include that if required.

For Z motor check if it is blocking at startup and loose after motion. If so your need to invert the enable pin.

JDS598 · March 2022

So what you are saying is I need to connect tx3 from DUE to rx on 2209 and rx3 from DUE to tx on 2209? I think I was getting it wrong because reading about marlin it can handle uart over just one wire.

I tried m122 and microsteps do not change so I think my wiring is wrong. I will change my wiring to how I described it above if that is what you mean.

I inverted enable for z motor and it started working.

Thank you.

Repetier · March 2022

> it wrong because reading about marlin it can handle uart over just one wire.
Yes there was something. Been a few years ago I did that. You need to have special wiring with that right? Normal serial is as I wrote and that is what hardware serial uses. 2209 has single wire uart so ther eis no RX/TX at all on that chip - they get converted somehow, but I forget how. But it sounds like you already know how. It's the same library as marlin uses so same wiring I'd say.

JDS598 · March 2022

Well I've got the uart connection working, I can read state with m122 and they change when I change parameters, and i can now control X Y and Z motors. I am having trouble getting sensorless homing to work.

This is what I have setup up for endstops. I have tried inverting them with no luck. I've varied sensitivity all over the place. does sensorless homing need to be defined somewhere? Thanks again for all the help!

If anyone has a setup working with sensorless homing could you share your configuration and configuration_io files. Thanks in advance.

Repetier · March 2022

You have defined silent for motors. In silent mode sensorless homing does not work. Also did you add a cable from diag1 to the pin for end stop? Then in addition you need a minimum speed for the sensorless homing to trigger. This depends on motor used and how good it causes back emf on stall.

JDS598 · March 2022

I tried defining false for stealth and had no change. I have wires going from diag1 to the endstop for each driver. How do I set a minimum speed for it to trigger? Is that with this define

#define TMC2130_TCOOLTHRS_X 1048575

I saw that in another discussion on here. I would assume if is that I would have to change TMC2130 to TMC2209.

Repetier · March 2022

TMC2130_TCOOLTHRS_X is not used in our sources, no idea where you got that from. Maybe it was a setting in V1 firmware that only supports that driver.

There is no setting for minimum speed. Homing speed must just be fast enough to work. 10-20mm/s should do fine.

There is a parameter stallguard sensitivity that defines the required motor response to trigger.

I checked the sources in stepper.cpp

// Called before homing starts. Can be used e.g. to disable silent mode

// or otherwise prepare for endstop detection.

template <class stepCls, class dirCls, class enableCls, uint32_t fclk>

void TMCStepper2209Driver<stepCls, dirCls, enableCls, fclk>::beforeHoming() {

}

template <class stepCls, class dirCls, class enableCls, uint32_t fclk>

void TMCStepper2209Driver<stepCls, dirCls, enableCls, fclk>::afterHoming() {

}

would be responsible to enable/disable it. As you see in 2209 it is empty.
While for tmc2130 where I tested it with I have this code

// Called before homing starts. Can be used e.g. to disable silent mode

// or otherwise prepare for endstop detection.

template <class stepCls, class dirCls, class enableCls, uint32_t fclk>

void TMCStepper2130Driver<stepCls, dirCls, enableCls, fclk>::beforeHoming() {

if (hasStallguard()) {

driver->TCOOLTHRS(0xFFFFF);

driver->en_pwm_mode(false);

driver->diag1_stall(true);

}

template <class stepCls, class dirCls, class enableCls, uint32_t fclk>

void TMCStepper2130Driver<stepCls, dirCls, enableCls, fclk>::afterHoming() {

if (hasStallguard()) {

driver->TCOOLTHRS(0);

driver->en_pwm_mode(stealthChop);

driver->diag1_stall(false);

}

I think that is the main reason it does not work. Can you try copying the code from 2130 to 2209 and see if it compiles. Especially the driver->diag1_stall(true); is resposible in 2130 that it gets enabled.

As you see it is only enabled for homing and nothing else.

Repetier · March 2022

Sorry changing code will not work. Have checke dit and functions simply do not exists. Would need to read the datasheets etc to figure out how to do that exactly but I have no test hardware to verify anyway and for which I currently have no time. So at the current time it will not work sensorless also I think the chip can do.

If you have some programming skills you might try to figure it out. It is just these 2 function that need to be modified to enable and disable the mode. The question is which driver functions to call.

JDS598 · March 2022

I can understand not having time, I do appreciate the help you have given me.I have very little experience with code other then very basic. If I am understanding you correctly basically what happens just before homing and just after homing needs to be put in stepper.cpp, Is that right?

JDS598 · March 2022

I found this in marlin firmware tmc_util.cpp It seems like the same sort of set up where it enables and disables stallguard for homing. I included what they are using for tmc2130 to show that it is more or less the same as repetier has in stepper.cpp. To me it looks like the 2209 is staying in stealthchop for homing.

bool tmc_enable_stallguard(TMC2130Stepper &st) {

const bool stealthchop_was_enabled = st.en_pwm_mode();

st.TCOOLTHRS(0xFFFFF);

st.en_pwm_mode(false);

st.diag1_stall(true);

return stealthchop_was_enabled;

}

void tmc_disable_stallguard(TMC2130Stepper &st, const bool restore_stealth) {

st.TCOOLTHRS(0);

st.en_pwm_mode(restore_stealth);

st.diag1_stall(false);

}

bool tmc_enable_stallguard(TMC2209Stepper &st) {

const bool stealthchop_was_enabled = !st.en_spreadCycle();

st.TCOOLTHRS(0xFFFFF);

st.en_spreadCycle(false);

return stealthchop_was_enabled;

}

void tmc_disable_stallguard(TMC2209Stepper &st, const bool restore_stealth) {

st.en_spreadCycle(!restore_stealth);

st.TCOOLTHRS(0);

I tried putting this into stepper.cpp to the best of my ability. I keep getting an error on compiling in HAL.h that says '__disable_irq' was not declared in this scope. I'm not sure what this means. Here is how I wrote it out

// Called before homing starts. Can be used e.g. to disable silent mode

// or otherwise prepare for endstop detection.

template <class stepCls, class dirCls, class enableCls, uint32_t fclk>

void TMCStepper2209Driver<stepCls, dirCls, enableCls, fclk>::beforeHoming() {

if (hasStallguard()) {

driver->TCOOLTHRS(0xfffff);

driver->en_spreadCycle(false);

return stealthchop_was_enabled;

}

void TMCStepper2209Driver<stepCls, dirCls, enableCls, fclk>::afterHoming() {

if (hasStallguard()) {

driver->en_spreadcycle(!restore_stealth);

driver->TCOOLTHRS(0);

}

Repetier · March 2022

Great, marlin sources help here. Adjusted corrected stepper.cpp part would look like this then:

// Called before homing starts. Can be used e.g. to disable silent mode

// or otherwise prepare for endstop detection.

template <class stepCls, class dirCls, class enableCls, uint32_t fclk>

void TMCStepper2209Driver<stepCls, dirCls, enableCls, fclk>::beforeHoming() {

if (hasStallguard()) {

driver->TCOOLTHRS(0xFFFFF);

driver->en_spreadCycle(false);

}

template <class stepCls, class dirCls, class enableCls, uint32_t fclk>

void TMCStepper2209Driver<stepCls, dirCls, enableCls, fclk>::afterHoming() {

if (hasStallguard()) {

driver->en_spreadcycle(stealthChop);

driver->TCOOLTHRS(0);

}

You used restore_stealth which does not exists. I wonder why they do not need to enable diag1 here to report it, but maybe it does always anyway. Would explain why that function does not exist and why also marlin only calls it for tmc2130 and not 2209.

__disable_irq is normally regular part of it. Please copy full error report for that error if it still exists with my code version. That function is used for due at many places so normally works and is present.

JDS598 · March 2022

It works!!! I can confirm that the code you gave me enables sensorless homing with tmc2209 drivers, and its working with them on both X and Y. I don't know if you want to put this in the code without testing yourself but it is working for me. Thanks so much for the help! For anyone who my be reading this in the future when you are defining tmc2209 in configuration_io.h, for serial you need to write SerialX( X being which serial port on your board you are using for UART). Slave address does work so you can control up to 4 drivers from one serial port. To do this make a "Y" wire that connects both TX and RX lines together, put a 1k ohm resistor on the TX wire before the "Y", after the "Y" connect it to the PDN pin on each TMC2209 driver board. The slave address is from 0-3, to configure each drivers slave address use ms1 and ms2 on the control board. Nothing on either is slave 0, ms1 jumper on is slave 1, ms2 jumper is slave 2, both ms1 and ms2 jumper is slave 3. If its not put in the code you will have to put this in stepper.cpp. It is near the bottom, just search TMCStepper2209 and look for the part that matches this. The driver-> parts will be missing, put the values below in and it will work.

// Called before homing starts. Can be used e.g. to disable silent mode

// or otherwise prepare for endstop detection.

template <class stepCls, class dirCls, class enableCls, uint32_t fclk>

void TMCStepper2209Driver<stepCls, dirCls, enableCls, fclk>::beforeHoming() {

if (hasStallguard()) {

driver->en_spreadCycle(false);

}

}

Awesome, thanks again for taking the time to help. If you would like, when I get my printer config complete and tested I would be willing to send you the configuration.h and configuration_io.h files to use as a sample system for a corexy with DUE and ramps fdv2. Let me know.

Repetier · March 2022

Sounds good to have some more samples, also keeping them up to date with changes is an other thing. But better then nothing in any case and I have a sample with sensorless homing and TMC2209.

JDS598 · March 2022

So one more question. Is there a way to add a delay between each axis homing? I am finding that with the way sensorless homing works there needs to be a delay between when x finishes homing and y starts to home to give the drivers a second to stop sending a homing signal. This is probably only for a corexy because both motors stall at the same time when homing one axis. Probably only needs to be 1 sec delay between x and y homing.

Repetier · March 2022

Good point. You must at least go back after last trigger so it is never triggered - a mm or 2 should suffice. The back move has test disabled I think, but when switching to y the x motor must have untriggered as you describe.

Since I don't have a system with sensorless homing I never had the problem so not implemented, but easy to add.
In file MotionLevel1.cpp the function

bool Motion1::simpleHome(fast8_t axis) {

is responsible for homing a single axis.

A delay of 300ms can be added by

HAL::delayMilliseconds(300);

Now question is where. There is a mode called safe homing which also requires that sensors untrigger after moving back. Here you would also get same problem. So I think the delay should correctly be added after every back move in that function.

So for first test you should add it here

// Move back for retest

if (ok) {

endstopMode = EndstopMode::DISABLED;

eStop.resetHistory();

dest[axis] = -homeDir[axis] * homeRetestDistance[axis];

Motion1::axesTriggered = 0;

moveRelativeByOfficial(dest, homingFeedrate[axis], false);

waitForEndOfMoves();

HAL::delayMilliseconds(300); // <---------------------------------------

// retest

The second one is

endstopMode = EndstopMode::DISABLED;

setHardwareEndstopsAttached(false, &eStop);

if (ok) {

moveRelativeByOfficial(dest, homingFeedrate[axis], false); // also adds toolOffset!

waitForEndOfMoves();
HAL::delayMilliseconds(300); // <---------------------------------------

#ifdef DEBUG_MOVES

reportPosition(PSTR("simpleHome C"), true);

#endif

}

Adding simple delay is not best solution, but good for a test now. Please report if it helps and I add a perfect solution to pull. But as long as delay does not get too high it is no real problem. Only temperature management does not work during delay so delays up to 1s should be no problem at all. The improved solution will then get a config option and delay with update.

The second is the one that adds a delay between each axis homing so that works but I can't get the x axis to back off when it finishes homing before y starts to home. I think that is keeping the motor in a stall state and triggering the y endstop immediately.

The backof distance is defined in configuration.h

#define ENDSTOP_X_BACK_ON_HOME 0.5
but may also come from older upload in eeprom, so check that as well or reset to config value
M502
M500

For moving the release move end stop test gets disabled in simpleHome:

endstopMode = EndstopMode::DISABLED;

setHardwareEndstopsAttached(false, &eStop);

if (ok) {

moveRelativeByOfficial(dest, homingFeedrate[axis], false); // also adds toolOffset!

waitForEndOfMoves();

So I hope reason is that the back distance was just too low.

Wow I feel dumb, I was changing back on home in vscode not realizing it wasn't updating in the eeprom. so that was an easy fix. The delay in the second example seems to help somewhat but its spotty. I tried up to a 2500ms delay and it was hit or miss if the stall would untrigger. I have been looking around the internet and it seems like marlin and klipper are disabling the second check of each endstop. From what they say with the sensorless homing you cant get any more accurate than the first test because it stalls to the closest full step of the motor. So is there a way to eliminate the second check of each endstop?

Repetier · March 2022

Disabling second check is not possible in current version. For next update I have added a mod in simpleHome

// Move back for retest

if (ok) {

into

// Move back for retest

if (ok && homeRetestDistance[axis] > 0) {

Then setting rehome distance to 0 disables second check. But I do not think that solves the issue. The back move does not test end stop but when switching to y and the diag pin is still triggered it will stop y move directly. Guess that is what you see?

You might try sending
M111 S70
before homing. This enables end stop debugging so you get a list of state changes when pin changes. Should help to see if and when the sensor gets untriggered. Saw also some threads where it was a problem that the sensor did not untrigger.

In datasheet I read for diag pin

DIAG 11 DO Diagnostic and StallGuard output. Hi level upon stall detection or driver error. Reset error condition by ENN=high.

ENN is motor enabled signal. So as a test with above single test homing run
G28 X0
M84
G28 Y0
M84

And see if that works. With end stop debugging the signal should change the moment power gets disabled. A bit awkward to reset signal by disabling motor as that might move motor as well.

"Then setting rehome distance to 0 disables second check. But I do not think that solves the issue. The back move does not test end stop but when switching to y and the diag pin is still triggered it will stop y move directly. Guess that is what you see?"

Yes. When testing g28, I have a meter connected to endstop and it seems that the diag pin goes low between the first and second check but stays high after the second check which stops the y move directly.

I will try m111 s70 when I get home to see if that is truly the case. I will also try
G28 X0
M84
G28 Y0
M84

> and it seems that the diag pin goes low between the first and second check but stays high after the second
That would contradict that it stays high until enable gets disabled. But if that is the case it would be good and moving back same distance the second time should then also disable it. It might require a number of steps to disable the signal, so something to test as well.

Trying g28 x0 m84 g28 y0 m84 didn't seem to stop the issue. The homing would still stop sometimes when Y started to home.

I think I figured it out. The RETEST_REDUCTION_FACTOR needs to be set to 1 for both X and Y to keep the same speed for the second test. it seems that stallguard sensitivity is pretty finicky with the set speed for homing. When the homing speed changed on the second test it would technically need a different stall value. Setting that correctly and setting BACK_ON_HOME to at least 10 have given me perfect homing every time I have tried so far. I am not sure why the reduction factor was affecting when X stops and Y starts but it has made the issue go away, at least in the testing I have done so far.
