This is an offshoot of getting the homing working on my custom CoreXY printer. As I was working on and testing the macros I kept forgetting that with a CoreXY, you need to change both the A and B steppers with the same values ( @Sineos pointed this out to me at least once). This was a pain when you…

Ah. Well you can’t use jinja2 in the main config sections like that. But if you’re using the gcode macros to override the current settings anyway, it probably doesn’t matter what you put in the config sections.

That macro should work. What error(s) are you getting? You can simplify things slightly like this. The “set global” directive in the GLOBAL macro is just to replace the M115 so that it doesn’t print the firmware version to console whenever the globals are instantiated. I don’t think the capitalizat…

Sorry, I guess I wasn’t specific enough in regards to my problems. The problem is in getting "xy_run_current to be loaded into the [tmc2209 stepper_x] statement. Here are some of the permutations I’ve tried (commented out): [tmc2209 stepper_x] ### {% set run_current = printer["gcode_macro glo…

Oh. Yeah you can’t do that. But I think you could accomplish the same thing like this: [tmc2209 stepper_x] uart_pin: PC4 run_current: 0.8 hold_current: 0.6 sense_resistor: 0.110 stealthchop_threshold: 999999 driver_SGTHRS: 60 diag_pin: PG6 [gcode_macro GLOBAL] variable_xy_home_current:0.7 gc…

Not quite what I want to do - the issue is that there’s also the [tmc2209 stepper_y] statement - I wanted to have one location where I set all the current settings (and there are six of them; four for run_current and two for hold_current) all in one place. @koconnor and @Sineos any ideas or this is…

Hmmm… I think you’re right. Every print will execute “G28” before starting the print and that will leave the printer at what ever current setting I want it to. You’re a genius! Thanx!
