AWD TMC 5160 issue

Ive built the mechanical aspect of the AWD setup and am now currently trying to program it it RatOS, ive made it as far as the printer recognizing the 4 motors but when ever i ask it to move i get this issue. here is the start of the conversation. https://discord.com/channels/582187371529764864/1111323236895051776/1122892139576168561

these are my configs

printer.cfg

Steppers5160.cfg

PollePro•2y ago

i put my stepper settings into my printer.cfg have u tryed that?

Mr.RobotOP•2y ago

i have an include at the bottom of my printer.cfg your saying add all of it in not as an include

This means klipper can't communicate with your drivers. Make sure all jumpers are set correctly (power jumper and SPI jumpers). Delete this:

Mr.RobotOP•2y ago

all of them are set to 48v and the jumpers are set to SPI i deleted that section

PollePro•2y ago

can u take some pics of the board and drivers? 🙂

miklschmidt•2y ago

yep that looks good Hmm

PollePro•2y ago

Have u tryed switching your stepper drivers? Perhaps a faulty one?

miklschmidt•2y ago

Try swapping drivers around and see if the problem moves Also make sure the 48V PSU is on kekw

kekw

a green light in the motor power LED so i assume that part is fine

miklschmidt•2y ago

Oh and remove this jumper

No description

Mr.RobotOP•2y ago

i even double checked it 48V is good to go i sawapped the driver pulled the jumper

PollePro•2y ago

same error after swapping?

Mr.RobotOP•2y ago

yep

PollePro•2y ago

same stepper?

Mr.RobotOP•2y ago

yep stepper_y1 each time

PollePro•2y ago

it was stepper_x first?

Mr.RobotOP•2y ago

yes at the beginging now it y1

PollePro•2y ago

Could be a stepper driver is dead check the back of it for "Holes" 🙂

Mr.RobotOP•2y ago

lmfao

PollePro•2y ago

I had a dead stepper driver i was boxing with for a long time before i found out 🙂

miklschmidt•2y ago

Then the CS pin is prolly wrong

PollePro•2y ago

If u can wait for toomorrow u can have my printer.cfg 🙂

miklschmidt•2y ago

@mr.robot7392 yeah you're off by one

Mr.RobotOP•2y ago

this

do you always know what to do Thank you yes thats it @miklschmidt you sir are a god damn saint

miklschmidt•2y ago

Some times it takes me a while 😂

Mr.RobotOP•2y ago

but youve saved my ass once again thank you very much

miklschmidt•2y ago

You're welcome 🙂

Mr.RobotOP•2y ago

ok moving onto PId tunning thank you is there anything else i should do before i move forward??

miklschmidt•2y ago

Don't think so, follow the guide if in doubt 🙂

PollePro•2y ago

make sure your motors run the right way 😛

Mr.RobotOP•2y ago

i think i have a few more things to work out up and left arrow keys move the motors towardss the rear right and right and down arrow keys do the opposite

PollePro•2y ago

Yea, Thats also were i got too 😛

Mr.RobotOP•2y ago

@miklschmidt got anything for this one lol

miklschmidt•2y ago

invert the dir pins of X and Y. 5160's have inverted movement. Oh and when i say X and Y, i mean both X and X1 and Y and Y1

PollePro•2y ago

So put ! where there is non and remove ! where they are?

Mr.RobotOP•2y ago

all 5160 's have inverted movement

miklschmidt•2y ago

indeed

PollePro•2y ago

Will have to do that aswell then 😛

If there's a ! remove it, if there's none add it you want

Oh @mr.robot7392 you want to check your [stepper_x1] and [stepper_y1] pins those are also off by one

Mr.RobotOP•2y ago

thats commented out

miklschmidt•2y ago

Not in the one i have, can you post your current stepper configuration?

It isn't You need to fix those

Mr.RobotOP•2y ago

oh the dir pin i thought you meant the cs pin im sorry

miklschmidt•2y ago

No all of them. step, dir and enable They're all wrong it's the wrong pins See this message i'm replying to

miklschmidt•2y ago

@mr.robot7392 once you've fixed those and added ! in front of the dir_pins it should work. If the movement is still weird refer to this:

Mr.RobotOP•2y ago

ok i got them all moving the right direction so they all move in the correct direction but when i move left to right there is horrible sound and stutter forwards backwards no problem

miklschmidt•2y ago

If they were fighting eachother i'd assume it would make noise on Y moves too.. Could be that you just need to sync the pulleys. In any case, the AWD motors might need to spin the opposite way of the original ones, depending on how you're doing AWD.

Mr.RobotOP•2y ago

I got it all sorted the belts needed tensioning there was too much slack and it was skipping over the front motors

miklschmidt•2y ago

Ah ok Great 👍
