Reassign Motor to new slot
I think the Octopus Pro 446 I have has an issue with the direction pin on the stepper_x (Motor0) slot. It only moves in one direction. If i Force move it FORCE_MOVE STEPPER=stepper_x DISTANCE=50 VELOCITY=50
It doesn't matter whether i move it + or - distance, it goes the same way. I bought new motors, bought new drivers, and swapped axis, it seems to be a board slot issue.
Instead of purchasing a whole new Octopus board can I just reassign it to motor 3 slot? where X1 would normally be. Where do i reassign that variable?

I am trying this:
[stepper_x]
#dir_pin: x_dir_pin # Add ! in front of pin name to reverse X stepper direction
rotation_distance: 40 # 40 for 20 tooth 2GT pulleys, 32 for 16 tooth 2GT pulleys
dir_pin: PC1
step_pin: PG4
enable_pin: PA0
[tmc5160 stepper_x]
stealthchop_threshold: 0
interpolate: False
cs_pin: PC7
Still can't get X to move but no errors!
Something like this

Did you remember to set the jumpers correctly?
I did remember the jumpers. But the ! I did not do
I’ll try that.
