Thanks for the help with this, I put this board(specially the V1.1) in my ender 3 pro and I could not figure out how to configure the 2208 but this helped me a lot!

Thank you for the video. JJust a question: did you solder J2 as described in the BTT TMC2208-V3.0 instructions?

Hi there, I just noticed a possible discrepancy at 3:20, although I don't know if it's at your end or mine. The way you've marked the voltages in red matches my board (also a V1.1) except for the bottom, where mine is labelled:

Do you not need jumpers from the top of the driver to the main board?
