#Unable to read tmc uart stepper register GCONF

Building a 2.4 350 first time. Started motion testing & configuring sensorless homing but,

I am getting: Unable to read tmc uart 'stepper_(axis)' register GCONF

Upon running DUMP_TMC STEPPER=stepper(axis)

on y, z, z1, z2, z3 except x

I have octopus v1.1 | tmc2209 | nema17s
I have verified the uart jumpers, tried swapping drivers, tried swapping motor ports between x/y - error remains same.

I read it could be a power issue, so currently my wiring is:
24v + - to 2 wagos which connect to motor power & power of btt octo
24v + - to usb adaptor board of sb2209 usb
24v - to a wago which shares rpi usbc - & 5v v-
24v + unconnected screw
5v + to rpi usbc
Hope the wiring explanation is understandable. Photo is also attached.

I have verified the dc output of both PSU's: 24v is giving exactly 24v & 5v is giving 5.01v

I do not even know how to begin to diagnose, klippy log is also attached.

I am happy to provide any more details if needed.

I just discovered that all my pins are wrong except x

The octopus isn't a stm32f407...

Huh. I didn't even realize that version existed

#

But okay

#

If all your pins are wrong, what config file did you start from?

#

You also have uart_address lines in your config, which isn't normal for the octopus

Now it's gotten to the point that it gives you something that actually loads. And that's far more terrifying

#

What if it comes up with something that defaults to turning on all the heaters full power?

#

Wreck your hotend before your printer ever even moves...

#

Anyway. I'd really encourage you to start with the config we provide (github or docs.vorondesign.com) unless there's one from a kitmaker

Fixed all axes except z1 - getting the same error. Not marking resolved yet. Sharing updated cfg

#

I didn't check your actual pins, but your notes say z1 is in m3

isnt the highlited section motor2_2 and above it duplicate driver 2?

slender rock
#

there is a duplicate OUTPUT on a single driver

#

so 2_1 and 2_2 (ports) both connect back to the M2 driver slot, and then the next slot is M3

I see, I was following this image

So I am not supposed to skip the driver slot (tmc2209)?
I have to skip only the port?

Nppe it didnt .. I didnt even realise it has drivers.. I thought its bare 🤦‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️

#

Thanks I ll test tomorrow and most probably mark it solved

slender rock
#
