TMC 2208 v3.0 on the Gt2560 v4.0 pdn/uart?

Post by RileyDylan » Tue Dec 29, 2020 5:10 pm

Hello guys I hope someone could maybe help me with setting up the 2208 drivers version 3.0 from bigtreetech I`ve looked all over the place but do not know where to connect the Pdn/UART cables onto the Gt2560 V4.0 Board I got with the Geeetech A-10 printer I`ve tried to contact Geeetech but they just seem to ignore all my questions....

so from my understanding I just have to connect a single cable to the board for each driver I'm planning on using 3 drivers for the x y z axis so 3 cables would need to plug into the gt2560 board but I can`t find any good pinout schematics or just any useful information on where they should be connecting too.

Also i`m using Vert's 2.0 bugfix firmware which works great on the printer with the standard drivers

The GT2560 V4.0 board does not have native UART support.

Apparently it is possible to have UART support for TMC2209 drivers with some soldering and firmware edits. See linked tutorial here https://forum.makerforums.info/t/tmc220 ... 3?u=nedman
