You ever planning on upgrading to a 4K setup?

What a great series this has been. And as you keep adding too it as more drivers pop up these will the go too place for stepper driver upgrades. Thank you for sharing.

Note: As of November or earlier, there is no longer any need to solder a jumper wire between clk and gnd for the BIQU/BIGTREETECH TMC5160 V1.2. They have an internal 10k pulldown resistor to connect clk to gnd (you can verify with a multimeter). You do still need to clip or bend the clk pin to prevent the control board clock from interfering with the internal clock. Thank you for a great guide!

Perfect timing my 2209's and skr board are currently in the air. Thanks for the great content

Another great learning experience. Love the channel and what you bring to the 3D printer community.

You sir, are an AMAZING contribution to the 3d printing community and I just wanted to have you hear it directly from me. My SKR v1.3 was delivered today and I'm in the middle of setting it up. I literally have a full set of 2208's in my Amazon cart right now and am going to switch them over to the 2209's based on this video alone. I didn't choose them then due to all of the possible issues I would have to deal with in my delta machine. You have given me the confidence to order the newer drivers with full confidence. In the end, my setup is going to be MUCH more capable than it would have been if I would've clicked "checkout" earlier this evening. I have you to thank for that. **Thank You**

It is sincerely a great contribution but from someone who's just bought a stock Ender 5 brand new to 3d printing it's intimidatingAF. What on earth have I got myself into. I heartily recommend BigTreeTech put this video into a kit so I can just buy it and plug it in :-) Soldering iron you say!? Good heavens.

The amount of detail and effort going into this video is really amazing!

Your channel is my first "go-to" channel on 3D printing tech. Very thorough & clear presentation. Awesome awesome work.

Thanks a lot - I was installing 5160 to SKR 1.3 board and your "easy to setup" guide really guided me in right direction!

BIG, BIG Thanks! My Ender 3 Board messed up and without your guides i would have spend weeks to get the printer to work again. Keep on with this great work!

Very useful

Excellent video. I powered my board via USB to get the initial setup going, the problem I ran into is that m122 doesn't work, or doesn't return the right results, if you're not powering it via the 12/24v port. Banged my head on the desk for a while reading old forum posts and things before I found the solution. Everything else was great! Thanks again!

Great vid as always! Definitely picking up SKR 1.3 and TMC2209 :)

I'm always pleased for your great work, perfect. Thanks!

Nice video , i have a mks gen l and tmc 2208 instaled on my ender 3 from your videos , it works perfect , tanks for your videos , i have the 0.76 and 0.9 for e vref and it works great , all day it was on , but the stepper motor and the heated shink were cold , the motors works perfect , they have power .

Boards with removable drivers are the only way to go. Drivers can go smoke, and do. Having removable driver chips not only allows you an upgrade path, it can possibly eliminate replacing the board itself. Truly an excellent video. Nicely done.

I Got my SKR mini v2.0 motherboard a few month ago and I realised it it was working very loud I tried editing TMC driver settings but that did not work then I see my video and edited my software settings to tmc2209 as you showed and it is now very quite thank you very much. great video

Love the series! Nice content like usual, just bought the 2208 so maybe in the future i will take the 2209

Well done. Thank you for posting this information. This is very useful for setting up my new board.

Great content again. Keep up the nerdly content. It is much appreciated

Great work once again Michael, thanks

Hey, were you successful with mounting the TMC2209 on the ramps 1.4? I haven't found any guide, tutorial or anything that says that they are compatible, how did you do it?

The froggie I am is so grateful for your guides, because of your work and time you put to your KZread channel i've been able to do so much things to my printers. From this video i've been able to configure and install SKR1.3 motherboard with TMC5160's on my Alfawise U20 (=Longer3D LK1, a CR10 clone) Oh and because of you i bought an ender 3 a month ago and in few days that printer was already printing amazingly without modding much. Keep up the good work !! Wish i'd still be in australia i'd offer you some beers. I might visit your patreon page ^^

Hi Michael, your tutorials are so concise and easy, thank you for your hard work

Michael, great guide! BTW you are using BIGTREETECH TMC5160 V1.2 drivers here. BTT claims one of the key module features is that it internally pulls down the CLK pin to ground (and also has better aligned MOSFETs, 6-layer PCB for better heat dissipation, ...). In case you need to pull down the CLK pin on an older version, you can also use a trick - if you melt the CLK pin's solder on top and apply pressure on the pin from the bottom, you can push it all the way up through the board so it looks like one of the SPI pins. Now you can solder a short wire to the GND pin, like you suggest, but on the other end you can have a single pin female Dupont connector that you can attach to the modified CLK pin when you want to ground it, or disconnect the cable when you don't want it grounded. With the SKR Pro 1.1 + TMC5160 V1.1 kit that I received, they delivered the SPI loom anyway as part of the TMC modules - so I could just snip off some wires with a single pin female Dupont for the grounding job. Obviously in case I need to push back the CLK pin at a later point, I just need to heat up the pin again and push it through the PCB to its original location. On my SKR Pro 1.1 in my CR10 Mini I have extreme difficulties calibrating the stepper drivers to make the motors not overheat, not have skipped steps and have sensorless homing working.

I'm reprap fan since... well when Mendel90 was a new construction. I can say that until now I have not seen many yt channels as helpful as yours is.

Finally..you are the best! Thanks

Could you make an explanation of the encoder that is possible to use on the TMC 5160? Would this make it a closed loop stepper?

Nice easy to follow guide.

Hey Michael, Finally got the MKS 1.3 installed on the #Borg, and my 2209 (v1.2) drivers should arrive in a couple of days. I would have had a much tougher time if it hadn't been for your videos. Thank you.

The timing is perfect! I just came to your channel to check the stepper direction settings as I'm setting up my SKR 1.3 with 2209's and I see this instead!

Would love to see an SKR 1.4 / 1.4 Turbo and TMC 2209 video from you now that those are out. I and a lot of others out there are struggling it seems with getting them to work.

Im looking to upgrade my stepper drivers, so I have been watching many videos comparing them. One thing that is not mentioned much on anyone's videos is regarding the differences between UART, IC2, or SPI interface modes. Is there any benefit using a stepper driver that supports SPI over drivers that are strictly UART. Anyone know how these various interface modes effect 3d printing?

Learned how to uncomment from this video!! NOWHERE online was I able to find an article telling me how to uncomment something !

Hi Michael, which drivers would you recommend for upgrading a CR10s Pro with an SKR V1.3 board? Also looking at a Nimble direct remote extruded upgrade.

I followed your guide for tmc2209, but i am using klipper (It needs only one wire for Uart communication). Anyway i have cut the 2 pins but i still have issues with the communication. It says unable to read stepper register

Hey Mike. For the lowrider CNC and tmc 5160, do I need to solder the cable connecting pins from corner "top" to the other side?

Thank you so much for these videos!! This is my first foray into 3d printing so modding them is new as well. I don't know if this would be the proper place to ask a question but I'm going to give it a shot... I've updated to the SKR E3 DIP V1.0 with the TMC5160's. Thanks to you it pretty much went flawlessly thanks to this video. The only gremlin I've run into is that the Z Stepper is not very quiet at all. All other axis steppers are SILENT! I've double checked the code to be sure I did enable Stealthchop and it was. So for the heck of it I commented it out and reflashed the card but pretty much the same noise. Tried the Google and have not been able to find anything similar to this issue documented anywhere. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!!

Thank you for this video. Are you planning to make a video about skr mini e3 soon?

The steps used for SPI for TMC5160 can also be used directly on TMC2130 v1.2 SPI drivers for SKR 1.3 board?

I'm using an Ender 3 + SKR 1.3 + TMC2209 in UART mode. I keep getting "Unknown command" when I try an M122. I'm *not* on USB power, but am using 24v. M119 worked so I know communications are good. Great videos, they've enabled me to try things I never would have on my own!

Also, this may be related and help anyone answer. I'm using Big-TreeTech TMC2209 v1.2 drivers, and the SKR 1.3. Is there anything I need to solder, bend, or cut on these drivers to enable UART???

Once again thanks for the info, I just have a question since a just found in my country 2130 or 2208 as I like the idea of sensorless homing im looking at the 2130, im planing to do this in a CR10S the original board finally die after thousand of hrs of printing, I guess 1.2A its more than enough for the CR mine is already silent so I guess stealthchop1 will be an improvement anyway vs the meltzy, im an octoprint addict, so between 2208 and 2130 i guess its ok if I go for 2130.

Great video!!! I have a Ender3 (stock) looking to add auto bed leveling. I think I have to upgrade the Control card. I see you have a number of cards. What is the best Control cards you would use?

I love your guides to 3d printing! Your configuration tool is an absolute gem! I recently upgraded my sapphire pro to 2209ers. (from 2208). When using them in UART thy skip steps like crazy :-(. Motor current is on the high end (850)

Hey Michael, is it possible to share config files? I can't find mistake in my config and want to compare it.

Hi, great video! Are those setting also valid for SKR PRO v1.1 with TMC2209? Thanks

Love your tutorials. Make possible for average Joe to fine tune 3d printers in their current state. Hope you can get your hands on Anycubic Predator, with that brilliant extruder placement. I'm trying to upgrade mine with Bond BMG + e3d v6 + SKR PRO 1.1 TCM5160+ esp01s

Hi Michael, great video as usual. I followed all your steps to install SKR V1.3 with TMC 2209 drivers on my Ender 5. Unfortunately for me all my motors are now way too louder than they were with the Ender 5 silent board. Am I missing something here. I'd really appreciate your help on this.

Thanks for the video! Cannot find the answer to this one: Is ok to mix driver types on the same SKR board? Can Marlin 2 handle it easily?

Thanks for the great guide! I'm hoping for a little guidance. I installed the skr mainboard and the tmc5160 on my CR10s clone and the extruder is dead silent but all other axis are normal volume. Adjusting the current does nothing and all drivers are functioning properly otherwise. No overheating, no missing steps, stealthchop mode is enable and I put the hybrid threshold very high to ensure the motors were in stealthchop mode. Any advice? I'm thinking that it may be the fact that I'm running a 12v power supply.

Hi! Thanks for great video! I bought a fysetc2209 with the btt 1.3, what changes has to be done compare to btt2209?

With the big bed printer like the S5, do you think it could be worth replacing the Y stepper with something much larger, and fitting a 5160 to a SKR V1.3. Also for the dual Z, would there be a benefit to fitting a 2209 so I can run more current?

With the new drivers allowing sensorless homing, would it be in theory possible to have sensorless bed levelling as well? Where you have the nozzle touch the bed instead of a sensor for probing, and then doing a mesh level the same way?

I'm wondering if I want to use the 5160s with my MPCNC?. since I saw you have built one as well I would really love to see the performance of those bigger chips when, making chips...

Great stuff mate I used the config file you provided in one of your other videos changed the steppers from A4988's to 2209's. One thing of note was that Atom would not successfully compile the file until I placed the files in the PlatformIO projects folder. It wasn't happy with it in a folder of my own choosing. It couldn't find the files even though they were there. Copy and paste and success. Not sure why but maybe this will help some one else who may be stuck on compiling

I'm not sure how to work out correct vref settings for the 2209. Is it the same formula for the 2208. Love your detailed video's.

On my Ender 3 I changed from TMC2208 to (1) TMC2209. The 2208 were dying in my case (2/5). I guess because of temperature. In stealchop these drivers can get really hot. I bought 4 TMC2209 from Watterott and installed only one on the Y axis. And I installed a Fan in the top lid of my ender 3 back-case. So far no driver died. In spreadcycle my 2208 are causing a whining noise in the motors, when they not move. I guess it is because of the holding current. The 2209 feature CoolStep where they can tune the current with the currentsensors for stallguard. These drivers don't whine with the same settings in spreadcylce. The TMC2209 are really worth the extra. Thanks for this video and how to setup the sensorless homing. I haven't given it a shot because there were a lot of comments on github/marlinfw that this is tricky to setup.

Love the channel. I was wondering if you could do a tutorial with the skr 1.3 and using sensorless homing for the zmax to align the x gantry with the printer like the prussia printers do?

Currently setting up an Ender 5 Plus with a SKR 1.4 and 2209. The stepper motors should be the same as the Ender 3 right? If so, can I use the volatges you set for the 2209's in UART setup for the E5+ as well?

Hi Michael, I was wondering if you or anyone could give me a clue on setting up the Vref on my TMC2209 V2.1's for my Ender 5? I cannot find any documentation on either the TMC2209 v2.1's, or the Ender 5 motors which are NOT the same as the Ender 3 motors. The I-rms on these drivers is higher than those on the 2208's for which there is a plethora of information. I watched your video on the Ender 3 with the 2208's, but I do not understand where you came up with the 1.41 numerator for the calculation unless it was derived from the I-ms of the 2208's which is not the same as the 2209's. Please help if you have the time. Thanks

Great video as always. I ran into an issue and I'm hoping someone can provide some assistance. I recently replaced my Anet A8 with an Ender 3 Pro. I installed the SKR V1.3 and the 2209s from BTT. However when I apply power to the board the power light on the SKR 1.3 turns on bright then dims and turns off. I know the board is getting power as the Case fan is still going. I thought it was a bad board so I switched out to another SKR 1.3 same thing. I didn't want to believe that I had two bad boards so I installed some DRV8825s I had and everything works. Bad drivers maybe?

thank you is working you are a real hero

Hey Michael, another great video that I have been eagerly waiting for. I'm planning to install the SKR 1.3 with 2209 drivers on the Borg. Not sure when yet as I have recently started a new job.

Version 3 from BTT/BIQU is UART ready.

I bought an SKR v1.3 after watching your video and was amazed to find 2-3V of ripple! on the 5V switching power supply even though the 24V input had only 120mV of ripple going in. They do seem to have put some thought into the filter network on the 3.3V supply (not that it helps much with right around 1V of ripple), but there's no such network on the 5V supply. Just curious if this is typical, or if my board is just defective--have you tried putting an oscilloscope on yours?

In the tmc2209 is any soldering underneath the driver required to enable uart/spi mode?
