Describe your issue:
… My printer was working properly. About a week ago I installed an Orbiter v2 and an Orbiter Sensor.
When I powered up, did not see any “magic smoke”. Extruder and sensor were working fine.
Then I tried to print something. Printer would not home Z axis. Cannot Print.
Z Stepper was a little bit hotter than X or Y steppers.
Tried using different cable - no Z stepper response
Tried connecting Z stepper to different motor port on M8P - no Z stepper response.
Tried swapping Z and X cable connections - no homing at all.
What else can I do? Is it the stepper or the board bad?
For Y, i was trying sensorless homing becuase i could not get the physical Y endstoop to work. Did not try for X, and for Z read that due to the physics of may printer, Z would not be very reliable.
When I installed the Orbiter, part of the configuration required the TMC stepper to be active. The only way klipper would accept that was by enabling the UART
Well, my stupid question above could have given you the hint that it is required to have these configuration blocks for all involved TMC drivers.
Klipper uses these configuration blocks to correctly set the needed parameters, like current, stealth-chop vs. spread-cycle etc. Also, it is used to constantly monitor the driver’s status and react upon potential errors.
Set it for all your TMC drivers and see if it solves your issue.
