I should mention I have the Octopus Pro (429) with the TMC5160 V1.3

Thank you for the fantastic video. It helped me a lot! Lots of likes going your way!

BTW i was wondering if you managed to get SPI sensor less homing to work on this setup.
I'm on this same set up and I've not had much luck by enabling #define SPI_ENDSTOPS . I wondered if I'm missing anything..
Sensitivity is set to 0.

Hi friend, may I know why I have to set 16 for x microstep when my axis per unit is 80?

[soloreclipse]

I'm planning on getting some of those drivers where did you get yours ?

[FBTheresaFazline]

Hi, may I know why my output not showing like your in the terminal when the motor is moving? It just showing Test X Connection…. OK

I wish this were klipper BTT really f'ed me on documentation

[Test-dvjl]

So I followed the instructions to the letter and I can get the x axis to move but no apparent sensorless homing the extruder carriage just hits the endstop and the motor grinds.. No idea where to go from here.

Good day! I reviewed all your videos with the Sensorless_Homing setting. I can't configure my octopus pro 1.0 board (STM32F429ZGT6) with TMC5160 driver (v 1.2).

I followed this video but have tiny layer shifts in a random direction after each layer with this setup. No such issues with identical hardware on the SKR mini E3 V3, leading me to conclude that it is related to the octopus board and 5160 driver setup. Do you know what might cause this issue?

Can you do a video like this but for klipper?

[FBTheresaFazline]

May i know the value that u use for default max acceleration?
