    Another awesome video. Should I adjust Vref for DRV8825 I just install and go?

    If it works with minimal noise or heat, you should be fine. Otherwise you'll have to tune with multimeter and vref.

    Hello Edward, could you please make a configuration video about tmc2208 drivers? I don't know why they are not working for me..at this point I don't know if it's marlin or hardware related, they recieve current tho. I'm getting desperate..

    I'm working on tmc2208, but there are three different configurations to learn and present.

    If I power the MKS with 12/24V, is there any way for the driver to limit the voltage to the motor at 6V? Or is it all current driven and it doesn't matter? (I'm using a "6v motor" (20BYJ01-160HR))!

    You could use a TMC 5160, granted you need to read the datasheet to confirm.

    Mr. Braiman I have a spare MKS Gen L V 1.0. board and I want to use it as a 6 axis robot arm control board. There are plenty of arduino codes for stepper and servo motor controls, however I can not identify step,dır pins and as well as servo pins in the codes; since its structure is different. what should I do? manually write a g-code and use it? Or is there a way that I can use it as an arduino board? would you kindly advise me on the matter?

    MKS Gen L board is basically the same as a Arduino mega 2560 with RAMPS 1.4, just as one board. You may need to write your own code rather than Marlin firmware. But Marlin firmware is a good place to start. You can Google MKS Gen L for a pinouts diagram.
