Update for everyone still having problems. After debugging with @peep we found out that the ZIP file that you get from the firmware configuration tool for version 1.0.1 doesn't include the Trinamic code. So please switch to development when using t…

Add me (alex.somesan@gmail.com) on Skype or Google Hangouts and let's try to fix it.
-
@peep can you post your configuration.h? How did you wire the SPI lines? Soldered? Jumper wires?
-
@stefanokolos First of all, sorry for the late reply. Thanks to @Repetier for pointing out this issue to me. I will try to go very carefully over all the details you provided, but right away something stand out: The current version of the firmware…

Hi @mattrws! I have a working Prusa style printer with BLTouch on it. Here is the Configuration.h known to work with this printer: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexsomesan/Repetier-Firmware/ramps-tmc2130/src/ArduinoAVR/Repetier/Configuration.…

If they are buzzing the motor they should not be blown. Sometimes when playing around with a lot of settings changes I noticed that they "lose their head" somehow. A power-off / power-on of the board should fix that. I am still trying to figure out …

@niocio01 and @PioniSensei 3000mA seems way to high and should not be necessary for a normal 3D printer. These drivers will move the motors reliably with just 300 mA on a well constructed printer. I have repeatedly printed with 500mA. However…

Guys, BLTouch is working fine in Repetier. Just follow the instructions that luke321 posted here. I use it both for homing and bed-leveling every day. Please post descriptive explanations of what is going on in your case so we can debug. We may be …

@nightdemonx Thanks for posting the picture of your setup. Would it be too much to ask for another pic with the fan out of the way. I can't really see the wiring well enough in your current picture.
-
@nightdemonx Forgot to ask which board are you using?
-
@nightdemonx I’m also having some issues building the latest developement branch. I’ll figure out what’s wrong and send you a working config. Some baseline checks: for CoreXY steps-per-mm and feedrates should be the same on X an Y (if you have the …

Rossini said: Very very nice. What if you have e.g. two z-axis? Do you mean two z-motors each with it's own driver or two motors on the same driver? The first case isn't covered yet because it would clutter the code - there's no standa…
-
@xebbmw I like the idea of a shield for Due that can support these "smart" drivers natively. One thing that would really be nice if it would also support other variants in Trinamic's range, the UART based TMC22xx series. I was thinking how to achie…
-
@xebbmw It can accept as many or little drivers as you need. See my demo video with the RAMPS - I'm only using one TMC2130 on that board, on X. The way you "enable" a driver in Configuration.h is by adding a line for it's CS pin. For example, the…
-
I confirmed that it works on AVR too. Sensorless homing included! Here's the demo video: I'll update the PR shortly with the AVR version. After that I need to cleanup the configuration.h parameters a bit an we should be good for now. I'll try to…
-
@xebbmw Yes, you have to wire a dedicated CS wire to each CS pin of each stepstick. What RADDS pin you tie them to is up to your choice, as long as the pin is not taken by anything else. A good choice is the extension header on the side of the RADDS…

Here is a video of the sensorless homing process in action on my CoreXY platform.

@boelle I run both 12V and 24v. 24v does quiet down the motors a bit. You can run most 12V parts (heaters, fans) off 24v if you run them with PWM instead of always-on power. I routinely run hot-beds designed for 12V at 24v by using PID temp control …
-
@niocio01 I’m planning to test on AVR + RAMPS soon. I am missing the drivers - waiting for them to arrive from AliExpress. The Watterott ones I have are “wired” for the RADDS. As soon as I get them I’ll test on AVR. I still don’t have a delta…
-
@3didd I have changes to add basic support for TMC2130. See the other thread that Repetier pointed to.
-
Hi everyone. Thanks for being patient. I've got something working to share I've opened a GitHub pull request with changes to enable basic TMC2130 functionality. You can see it here: https://github.com/repetier/Repetier-Firmware/pull/724 This work…
-
@ElMariachi That is definitely the direction I want us to go in. I also want all the Trinamic goodies inside Repetier. On my working printer I have Marlin right now and even though the core firmware works ok, I like the integration of the Repetie…

Repetier said: Just as a side node since it will not help for now - in firmware 2.0 I plan to add the concept of stepper driver classes, so it would get quite easy then to add things like spi configuration of steppers. The current design make…
-
@jgude I'm betting on StallGuard working for end-stops because I have no end-stops in my printer other than a BLTouch z-probe. In fact, with RADDS, two of the SPI CS signals for the drivers are routed to the X and Y endstop headers and hog those p…
-
I'm developing against a RADDS + Due. I've just ordered a RAMPS clone on AliExpress and I'll try to test against that too once it arrives. Are you guys using the original Watterott stepsticks or chinese replicas?
-
I‘m working on it I already have a prototype running which can configure the basics such as current, microstepping, step interpolation. I can feed a gcode file and the printer moves correctly (and quietly) with TMC2130s. The board I…

I’ve gotten the basic configuration of TMC2130 via SPI working on a RADDS + Due board. I wired the SPI up with jumper wires on the back of the RADDS. The motors are moving and I can set coil current and microsteps as well as toggle stealthchop and …
