Describe your issue:
My Voron previously worked perfectly with 2209s, I decided to upgrade my AB steppers soon and starting with replacing the drivers. After setting the appropriate jumpers and installing the 5160s, I am now getting an Unable to write tmc spi stepper x in Globalscaler error. I have the jumpers in place according to my mcu instructions for those drivers. Also using config settings they recommend for those drivers.
I have not actually replaced the steppers yet, still using the old ones which are Voron BOM. From what I can tell it isnt a wiring or stepper issue but a config issue.
You are correct. I am planning on upgrading the AB motors so I just replaced the appropriate drivers to 5160s. I tried to explain this as best I could, please advise how I can reword it to help. Really appreciate anyone willing to assist and dont want to be confusing.
I have seen others do this, and consulted the documentation but there wasnt any information that I could find to solve my problem.
I would have definitely done that from the first post if the instructions on here didnt basically tell you not to put the config here but to use the klippy log.
Here is the current config, youll notice the 2209 commented out, which were the working settings before switching.
I use Moonraker and it regulary has me update Klipper. I did have an issue a couple months back that many Voron users had with an update. It basically caused my mcu to disappear and some issues with adxl.
The workaround was I believe was using the version you are mentioning which fixed that issue. Id have to look back on the specifics.
I did that, and it just changes the error to stepper y. And back to stepper x if I swap them. It prints good with both 2209 so i think the board is fine.
