I do not understand what is Discord and how do I view it?
I might also say I think you are the best I have seen on Youtube explaining how to set up the GTR_V1 and M5. BigTree should be ashamed of the way they do not explain the way you do, there are no information on how to setup their own GTR_V1 or M5. I guess that is what YouTube is for having people like you explain how to use their product, they should pay you for that.
Thank you for all your help so far.

Thank you @Ed's 3d Tech for your very useful tutorials - great job! BTW I wonder if you've noticed that the fan headers on M5 are mounted backwards? I've just almost burned one fan because of that...

Hi Edward :) another excellent tutorial!

I noticed on my M5 that there's 12v VIN(VCC) jumper on the bottom right. Assuming it's got a buck/step down converter for those fans. Is there a similar set of jumpers on the GTR that I'm missing? Or, are Fan1-Fan3 on the GTR always run at PSU voltage in, while Fan1-Fan5 on the M5 are switchable between 12v/24v?

Quite an odd question Ed but I brought a mini E3 V2 and It works fine, The problem is when I plug it into the computer via USB cura doesn’t pick the board up and I get an alarm sound from the board.. Is there anyway I can fix this?

This is great and all, but how do you get the fans to work properly WITH OUT the M5 extension!? I can’t get them to work and there is literally nothing about it in the manual or that I can find online. Your video is the closest thing and even that doesn’t apply to the GTR itself unless I had the M5 board :(... plz help!

To be clear I can get the fans to work in pronterface like in your tutorial. However the don’t work when printing, I have to manually turn them on or off during every print.

Have a new GTR V1 and I'm getting an error of' could not find "package.json" manifest files in package. Any ideas?

Hi Edward thank you for the tutorial;) but fairly talking do not understand why somebody would need so many (11) motors ;)

I am using the GTR_V1 and the M5 with TMC2209 on my Mostly Printed CNC (MPCNC) from V1 engineering, and would like to use all 11 drivers I need help finding just where you connect the switches on both GTR_V1 and M5. And I am trying to use the Sensorless homing I can use the Dual Steppers / Dual Endstops X, X1 and Y, Y1 but cannot use the Z, and Z1 for Sensorless homing. I am having problems using the Zmin and Zmax homing. Can you help with this?
