It'll automatically set a safe low current if omitted, I'd expect the motors to still work though. That said, still needs to be corrected.

I.e. say you call the S6 pins P1,P2,P3,P4. These are all ok... P1 to B1 P2 to B2 P3 to A1 P4 to A2 or... P1 to B2 P2 to B1 P3 to A1 P4 to A2 or... P1 to A2 P2 to A1 P3 to B2 P4 to B1 or... P1 to A1 P2

The motor current should be set as follows AFAIK (likely to be a good match for 1.7A rated motors)... #define AXIS1_DRIVER_IRUN 1000 // OFF, n, (mA.) Current during tracking, appropriate for stepper/d

Shunts seem right. Probably the 5160's CLK pin state is ok? No info. that the drivers in question are in the correct sockets. No info. on exactly what the stepper driver section of Config.h looks like

That may very well be the case, the Wiki advice is generic.

No. Probably you really should be using the beta branch, not the master. The master isn't well tested at the moment. Probably AXIS1_STEPS_PER_WORMROT should be 0 (the default.) Definitely just saying

That's a nice bit of information to see, wasn't really sure that was the case.

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