My comment was that this is an external driver (driver model is GENERIC), rather than one of the models we use, and therefore only Step and Dir pins are used to signal the driver, while microstepping

I think you understood me wrong, or maybe I wrote not clear enough. The DM556 driver can easily work with 64 and 128 microsteps. As I should set a number of microsteps for the GoTo lower than for the

According to its manual, the DM566 is capable of 1/128 microsteps when you use the DIP switches In the spreadsheet you can configure it to either 1/128 or for 1/64 (we can provide input if you attach

Thank you for your reply. There is no rush, I can work with the MKS. At this point the DM556 drivers are the best solution for my mount. I tried the TMC5160 with a lower current, but the motors become

I would be surprised if a TMC5160 behaved differently in an S6 vs. any other board that supports it.

#mount #mks

The _VQUIET mode is discouraged because lots of people had issues with it. Probably what is happening is that it is reducing the current enough from your excessively high settings, to make it back to

Hi, Thank you guys for your responses. I was very stubborn yesterday and tried to pass through different topics related with the TMC drivers, even some of them explicitly said "it's not your case...".

#mount #mks

We don't know whose stepper drivers you're using but you are very close to the maximum limit of step stick TMC5160 current, 3.0 amps. It suggests that your drivers may be overheating and shutting down

That mount is impressive. One you are done, please let us know, since it will go on to the showcase page. One possible workaround is to replace the MKS with a FYSETC S6 3D printer board. They are know

Hi, I am an ATM enthusiast, recently I finished building of my 70+ kg EQ fork mount for my 10" Newtonian telescope from a scratch: https://stargazerslounge.com/topic/356572-my-homemade-eq-fork-mount/?

Hi thank you very much for those configs. I had Serial C to OFF. So once I chnaged it to 9600 wifi modul started to work nicely also on MKS. You saved me :) Once again - thanks! R

Which version of the ESP8266 board manager are you using? I am using 2.4.2 which is said to be stable, and seems what others have used with the MKS. Could you post a picture of your wiring of the WeMo

Hi, yes I'm quite sure that we did all right according to documentation. We tried to use both AUX-1/Exp1 slots on MKS. On Fysetc and Arduino with RAMPS it works very nicely. Problem is somewhere in th

Just to verify...did you change the Config.h file to indicate the MKS Gen L. See code line below: #define PINMAP MksGenL2 // OFF, Choose from: MiniPCB, MiniPCB2, MaxPCB, MaxPCB2, STM32Blue, <-Req'd //

Is the Wemos TX/RX connected to the AUX-1 or the EXP-1 slots? I understand the TX/RX channels in the AUX-1 slot do not work or work intermittently, so the EXP-1 slot needs to be used. See pinmap below

Hi all, we tried to use Wemos D1 for wifi. First we connected it into Arduino Mega and RAMP board. Works fine. Then we tried to use Fyset S6 v2 board and it was also good. Works fine no troubles. But

Otto, Thanks for sharing. Your conversion is in the showcase now. Yes, we need a table somewhere on what specific x driver goes with y board, as it is not obvious. In the meantime, users can either lo

You can use a hub but it's not usually required with this new driver set.
