Extra stepper motor don't move

  #define NUM_MOTOR_DRIVERS 0

  // #define MOTOR_DRIVER_x StepperDriver<int stepPin, int dirPin, int enablePin,bool invertDir, bool invertEnable>(float stepsPerMM,float speed)

  #define MOTOR_DRIVER_1(var) StepperDriver<E1_STEP_PIN, E1_DIR_PIN, E1_ENABLE_PIN, false, false> var(100.0f,5.0f)

  
  

  Some motors need invertEnable true.

  Also in brackets you need to separate with , not with . as you did. Last thing is speed. This all works without acceleration so only slow speeds are supposed to work, not speeds like 100mm/s. That will give you only a humming motor and loose all steps.

  Thank you for your reply but with #define NUM_MOTOR_DRIVERS 0
  I get Unknown command: G201
  So I tested with #define NUM_MOTOR_DRIVERS 1
  and invertEnable true and false, the engine still does not move; + (
  
  "#define NUM_MOTOR_DRIVERS 1
  // #define MOTOR_DRIVER_x StepperDriver <int Steppin, dirPin int, int enablePin, invertDir bool, bool invertEnable> (float stepsPerMM, float speed)
  #define MOTOR_DRIVER_1 (var) StepperDriver <59,64,63, false, false> var (100.0f, 5.0f) "
  
  I use G201 P0 X10 to test with Repetier-Host V1.6.2
  
  Thank you

  Sure, NUM_MOTOR_DRIVERS 1 is correct. I had it on first enter and forum destroyed it and on recopy I forgot to correct.

  
  

  Just had a look into code and M201 does NOT enable/disable motors. You do this with

  G204 P<motorId> S<0/1>     - Enable/disable motor
  

  So run first

  G204 P0 S1

  then it should move.

  I tested "G204 P0 S1" and "G204 P0 S0" with "G201 P0 X10" still nothing!
  
  I'll test by adding a third extruder.
  
  Good Sunday

  Hello,
  this is it works!
  by creating a third extruder.
  I added in pin.h
  
  "#define ORIG_E2_STEP_PIN 63
  #define ORIG_E2_DIR_PIN 64
  #define ORIG_E2_ENABLE_PIN 59
  ....
  #define E2_PINS ORIG_E2_STEP_PIN, ORIG_E2_DIR_PIN, ORIG_E2_ENABLE_PIN, "
  and changed the configuration EEPROM.

  // #define MOTOR_DRIVER_x StepperDriver <int Steppin, dirPin int, int enablePin, invertDir bool, boolinvertEnable> (float stepsPerMM, float speed)
  #define MOTOR_DRIVER_1 (var) StepperDriver <63,64,59, false, false> var (100.0f, 5.0f) "

  
  

  would then be the correct solution. You have toggled order for step and enable pin!

  The final version is:
  
  #define MOTOR DRIVER v1 (var) Stepper Driver <63,64,59, false, false> var (200.0f, 1.0f)
  
  because 200.0f  for one revolution and 5.0 is too fast.
  
  Thank you
