Basic Information:
MCU / Printerboard:MKS Skipr
The markings on the board are confusing. On one side the motor order is X, Y, Z1, E0, Z2… and on the other it is X, Y, Z1, Z2, E0. Which one is correct? I have two motors for Z.
Hello @roptics !
Connection plans show this:
There are two Z1: Z1-Motor1 and Z1-Motor2 these two are running (obviously) in parallel.
If you want to control Z with two independent steppers you should use Z1 and Z2 (orZ3 or Z4)
Take care of this: Klipper counts Z, Z1, Z2, Z3
Hello. The board or pin diagram shows two different orders for the drives which is what is leading to my confusion. I’m new to this so maybe there is some convention that I’m just not familiar with.
Don’t mix up the sockets for the drivers and the motor connectors.
What counts is at the end the correct assignment in the Klipper config.
This is not Z1 and Z2, this is Z1-Motor1 and Z1-Motor2
Thank you this was very helpful. My next thing to diagnose is the red lights on the BED and the VIN location.
