motor Z0 does not energize for some reason when the motor is supposed to be moving but does when it is not supposed to be moving, I try the motor on a different port and it works but not on the one it is supposed to, I changed the stepper drivers and no change so tried 5 more stepper drivers and switched them all around on the board, same result, motor works, steppers do too., so the motor when connected to the correct port does nothing except for being energized when stationary .
#one motor does not energize

It looks like your enable pin for z1 needs to be inverted with a ! Look at the other motor configuration sections for how the enable pin should look.
Z3 is also wrong and needs the enable pin inverted.
I saw that but thought I might break something by doing that and thats how it was in the cfg when I downloaded it from the Voron page but will try
tried that but no motors on Z moved so I guess its like that in the original file for a reason
No there is something else going on. Those enable pins must be inverted with a !
Could you post a few pics? One of your mcu. A close up of the STM chip and one of the whole electronics bay. There could be an issue with some pins being crossed there.
laying with the printer cfg I now have all 4 motors move down ok, 3 will raise ok but not the rear left, the cfg with the ! are not edited by me the cfg file was copied from the main Voron website and already has those in it, I changed the DIR as needed to reverse the direction but never altered them from the enable since theses are in the original although when I did then no motors moved
fixed it 🙂 needed two ! removing from 2 lines and added 2 x ! to other lines, now works only took 3 frigen days
I'm glad you got that sorted. Could you link where you got that file? That's a pretty significant mistake that we need to fix.
here is a link to the original https://github.com/VoronDesign/Voron-2/tree/Voron2.4/firmware/klipper_configurations and uploaded is my file as I had to reverse the motor direction anyway but you will see that the ! are on some pins but removed from others
Yes it's normal to add or remove a ! from the DIR pin. The ENABLE pin is always INVERTED with a !
All the Voron default configs come with a ! In front of the ENABLE pin name.
yeah I know but when I do that it stops working
oops was reading an old coment, ignore that lol
yeah but in this file a few have been removed from the original config but that works
check the original file link and you will see only two ! are used with enable pins
no idea why but it works
I have increaded the current though to 1.0 to gfive it that little bit extra umph but I am using extra fans so the heat will be no problem
