motors too hot: probably don't have num smart drivers set right in board.txt, uart pins not correct, etc.
#Burning motors regardless of current setting and wiring. Solved:Failed to Configure Rsense

m122 would help troubleshoot ye

what does the motor current report itself as? before the motors get hot and after?
seems like it isn't a missing driver, assuming you have 5 drivers
you have 5 and not 6 drivers, right?
drivers always "work fine" if they aren't detected as uart drivers
but they cannot be configured
so they will run at whatever default current is configured on the board, often too high
drivers will always work on step/dir/en & vmot
check M906 and make sure they always report the right value
exotic stirrup
can you post your config?
ruby sparrow
if driver 0 isn't detected, it will still work to drive the motor, but you can't configure it, so microsteps, current, etc. are all unknown/default

stepper.DriverType = {tmcspiauto, tmcspiauto, tmcspiauto, tmcuartauto, tmcuartauto, tmcuartauto, stepdir, stepdir, stepdir, stepdir, stepdir, stepdir, stepdir, stepdir} seems you mistakenly set driver0 to spi when it should be uart
ruby sparrow
I thought you said you have 6 drivers
exotic stirrup
ruby sparrow
ok, then port 6 is also not detected
ruby sparrow
@arctic field you have port6 set to stepdir
so if X is on port6, it is unconfigured
but I assume not, since 1 and 2 should be the 5160s
anyway, fix 6 as well whileyou're at it
exotic stirrup
all he needs to do is change the number of smart drivers to 7 not 6
ruby sparrow
and do the sensor resistor thing jay says
exotic stirrup
i've added a note to cover it on the wiki (as we don't currently)
exotic stirrup
the external ones definitely work with the correct sense resistor as i use 4 of them on my vzbot
what motors are they?
what current are you setting the 2804's at?

GG @arctic field, you just advanced to level 4!
