The meticulous enunciation + 1.25x speed made this super clear and easy to understand. A lot of other videos I watched on setting up UART for TMC2208's on the SKR V1.4 and Marlin had left out many of the details which you covered in this video. Thanks.

Can't believe it was this easy... other video tutorials are overly complicated for no reason. Liked and subscribed, thanks a lot!

For those working with the TURBO version, that's the *LPC1769* (rather than the LPC1768). Took me a while to figure that one out 😅

[awkwarddinosaur]

Much easier to read the thumbnails now. I appreciate the effort.

Watch at 1.5-1.75x speed for normal talking spped 🤣

Love the tutorial!

Thank you very much for the tutorial; I too thought the resistors were missing, but when looking closely they were there. They are easy to miss.

Thanks a lot for the information! I’ve been wanting to replace the Rambo board on my Makergear M2 for a while now. This will really help.

When I purchased my V1.3 (the first one) I purchased it as a complete kit with five of these and to be honest I don't care much for the 2208 as it does have some oddness to them. I firmly believe the 2209's took care of those oddities.

Here is one oddity but I can take a 4988 and drive my Z faster than with a 2208. I don't know why considering the 2208 is supposed to handle more current than the 4988.

18:16 u didn't tell to move that red jumper down for programming, i was scared for a bit my board was faulty as it didn't do anything when i connected it to my pc

Anyways thanks for this tutorial, it helped me really much!

[MrAmity]

thank you for the always super clear articlated explanation, is a big help for me

[luminousmoonnight]

Thank you.
Would be great a tutorial for conductive Level sensor.

Thank you for very informative and in-depth content. Do you have any plans on popping in the ESP8266-01 module into there? I haven't seen anyone on Youtube do that yet. I'm waiting for my SKR 1.4 and TFT35 any day now and was hoping to program an old ESP-01s to use with the board, just out of curiosity because I usually work with OctoPrint.

Great videos - i am awaiting to find out what the closed loop jumpers do!

Hello Edward, thank you for this video. As always, it has become a very detailed tutorial and has been able to help me very well. However, I still have one question. The values for "default steps per mm" in configuration.h, do you enter them for 1/16 tel steps? Is it what is meant when it is written "simply exchange for A4988"? Thank you very much.

great vid edward any chance you can do a vid on installing tmc 2209 drivers with and without endstop switches thanks and keep up the good work

Hello there.
Question looking for some help in.
BTT TMC 2208 for BTT SKR 1.4 TURBO. I thought the TMC2208 where set in UART from factory, seemed not in my case. Is there anyother way not to have to solder the J2 part to get UART to work.

[wrxsubaru]

I'm trying to setup a SKR V1.1 with TMC 2209 V3.0 which is in UART by default. This old board has way less jumper pins so im not sure how I should do it
