Marlin Firmware for ramps 1.4 using TB6600

Marlin Firmware for ramps 1.4 using TB6600
February 17, 2019 06:20AM
I'm using TB6600 for 3D printing machine: Dual X. But, I have some problem with TB6600 driver and Marlin Firmware. My error is shown in the picture. Can you help me fix this?

Marlin 1.1.9 and Above support TB6600 simply by adding enabling the line and changing the default to your choose of TB6600

* Options: A4988, A5984, DRV8825, LV8729, L6470, TB6560, TB6600, TMC2100,
* TMC2130, TMC2130_STANDALONE, TMC2208, TMC2208_STANDALONE,
* TMC26X, TMC26X_STANDALONE, TMC2660, TMC2660_STANDALONE,
* TMC5130, TMC5130_STANDALONE

#define X_DRIVER_TYPE A4988

Further Explain the Problem you are having with the TB6600 Steppers

Do they turn, are they shaking back and forth, do they have holding torque ect......

everything is good ,but the shifting in y & x axises after complete each layer not rondom
and i print with 10% from its speed
and taut the belt very well
and the mechanical system is so good

Try connecting your X dual stepper motors in series.

I'm sorry how I can do that

To connect 2 steppers in series:

Take the 4 wires on your control board, they are A+ A- B- B+

Control board A+ goes to motor 1 A+
Motor 1 A- goes to motor 2 A+
Motor 2 A- goes to control board A-
Control Board B- goes to motor 1 B-
Motor 1 B+ goes to motor 2 B-
Motor 2 B+ goes to control board B+

In this way, the amount of current driven by your stepper drivers goes through both motors. The effective resistance is doubled, so you need more voltage to do it, but stepper drivers are current limited. As long as you have enough voltage at your PSU, it will work fine.

RAMPS 1.4 boards generally have 2 Z driver outputs, which are in parallel, so you need to drive double the current in order to drive 2 motors. If you set them up to drive 800mA, then each motor gets (about) 400mA

Duet Wifi boards have 2 Z drive connections, too, but they are in series (As described above) so they need jumpers to short the second motor or else the one motor doesn't work. If you tell it to drive the motor at 800mA, then both motors will get 800mA.
