In the configurator. Not on any file. Configurator takes care of all the details for you 5160 ONLY work on spi. The don’t have uart

You will need to include any motors in the config. After everything done, add the new motors config in the bottom of printer.cfg and it will override. But make sure you are inside the margins both of the driver and the motor. Motor should not be an issue but drivers can limit the current used. If @miklschmidt finds it ok I can include the motors in the config

no need, just use the generic stepper and ignore the current warning
