Hallo! Wie ghet's?


1.) If you have the TMC2208 upgrade, you have to ensure that you made the change in the firmware to reflect that.

2.) If you have already made that change, then it's related to you not being able to write the firmware file to the printer. Does it give you a specific error when you try to upload the firmware?


No, the clicking noise is not normal. If you have the LCD display make sure that your LCD wires are correct. I had to modify mine by cutting off the little lock tab on one side.

@Pritesh

thanks for you help.

The Display work after cutting the cabel like the link do you postet!


First a question about the TMC2208 Drives:

1 but 3 white boards on the 1. 3 Mainbords sockets (without Jumpers on the Mainboard. 3 Jumpers on the UART Pins.

(Stage 08 Stepping 18) is this correct?

What is whit the 2 last Sockets on the Mainboard? all Jumpers on the Mainborad? Emthy Sockets? 2 Red (A4988 Stepper Drivers) on it?


  1. i have changed the Firmware / Configuration.h file like in Stage 09 Steps 3 to10... is that are the "line numbers" are not the same in my file. (Exampel: TEMP_SENSOR_BED value to "1". on the web page Line 417. in my file line 420...)

  2. Step 4 i have the tmcstepper Version 0.7.0

  3. Step 5 i changed it so: (i have 3

#define X_DRIVER_TYPE TMC2208

#define Y_DRIVER_TYPE TMC2208

#define Z_DRIVER_TYPE TMC2208

//#define X2_DRIVER_TYPE A4988

//#define Y2_DRIVER_TYPE A4988

//#define Z2_DRIVER_TYPE A4988

//#define Z3_DRIVER_TYPE A4988

//#define Z4_DRIVER_TYPE A4988

#define E0_DRIVER_TYPE A4988

#define E1_DRIVER_TYPE A4988

//#define E2_DRIVER_TYPE A4988

//#define E3_DRIVER_TYPE A4988

//#define E4_DRIVER_TYPE A4988

//#define E5_DRIVER_TYPE A4988

//#define E6_DRIVER_TYPE A4988

//#define E7_DRIVER_TYPE A4988


if i upload the new "configuration.h file after 1 min. i get an long error message...

Wherever you don't have the TMC stepper drivers, you need to have the A4988 (red) drivers. Keep in mind that those are installed in a different orientation, as stated in the manual. Those red ones will keep all the jumpers in place on the mainboard (not UART).


It should be on line 417, not sure why yours is line 420. Maybe try re-downloading the file from Makertech.


Step 4, that's ok, tmcstepper was updated since Makertech made the build manual. I actually have version 0.7.1.


Unfortunately I cannot diagnose why you're unable to write the firmware to the board. I would try again after making sure you have the correct one downloaded from Makertech. Maybe you can find more help here as well:
