Different Stepper Motor Wiring Configuration

Okay so i just setup RatOS, everithing works well, nothing burned down powering the board up. I setup printer.cfg and all temp sensors are working. I'm using a BTT Manta M8P and i wired all the stepper motors differently not acording to the RatOS wiring diagram, so i would have shorter cables and cleaner wiring for my exact setup. Looking back, it was a mistake, and i just created a problem, but the wires are already cut to size so there is no going back... How and Where do I change the pinout of the stepper drivers/motors so it works like it was supposted to?...

How and Where do I change the pinout of the stepper drivers/motors so it works like it was supposted to

as always, the USER OVERRIDES section something like

[stepper_x]
step_pin: <PIN NAME>
dir_pin: <PIN NAME>
enable_pin: !<PIN NAME>

[stepper_y]
step_pin: <PIN NAME>
dir_pin: <PIN NAME>
enable_pin: !<PIN NAME>

[stepper_z]
step_pin: <PIN NAME>
dir_pin: <PIN NAME>
enable_pin: !<PIN NAME>

[stepper_z1]
step_pin: <PIN NAME>
dir_pin: <PIN NAME>
enable_pin: !<PIN NAME>

[stepper_z2]
step_pin: <PIN NAME>
dir_pin: <PIN NAME>
enable_pin: !<PIN NAME>

[extruder]
step_pin: <PIN NAME>
dir_pin: !<PIN NAME>
enable_pin: !<PIN NAME>

[stepper_x]
step_pin: <PIN NAME>
dir_pin: <PIN NAME>
enable_pin: !<PIN NAME>

[stepper_y]
step_pin: <PIN NAME>
dir_pin: <PIN NAME>
enable_pin: !<PIN NAME>

[stepper_z]
step_pin: <PIN NAME>
dir_pin: <PIN NAME>
enable_pin: !<PIN NAME>

[stepper_z1]
step_pin: <PIN NAME>
dir_pin: <PIN NAME>
enable_pin: !<PIN NAME>

[stepper_z2]
step_pin: <PIN NAME>
dir_pin: <PIN NAME>
enable_pin: !<PIN NAME>

[extruder]
step_pin: <PIN NAME>
dir_pin: !<PIN NAME>
enable_pin: !<PIN NAME>

where you replace <PIN NAME> with the name of the pin from the pinout diagram

yes good thank you

fluffy•10mo ago

what went wrong did what you told me to do @blacksmithforlife

fluffy•10mo ago

problem with this i think

blacksmithforlife•10mo ago

DO NOT EDIT THAT upload your printer.cfg please

fluffy•10mo ago

right here it is

fluffy•10mo ago

printer.cfg

blacksmithforlife•10mo ago

this doesn't look at all like the ratos template...

fluffy•10mo ago

it is just deleted some parts of the #text i won't use but that didn't create the issue i haven't messed with anything else

ok. you have 2 options: 1) instead of using the direct pin names, use the aliases defined in RatOS/boards/btt-manta-m8p-11/config.cfg 2) copy RatOS/boards/btt-manta-m8p-11/config.cfg to the same directory that your printer.cfg is at, edit it to remove the stepper aliases and then import it using [include myMantaConfig.cfg]

fluffy•10mo ago

its my first time working with klipper so i don't really know what i'm doing... how can i use the aliases in the RatOS/boards/btt-manta-m8p-11/config.cfg? can you show me an example please? nor do i understand the second option do you mean delete everything after this [board_pins manta_m8p_tmc2209] up to this [mcu]? or just uart pins?
