Marlin Firmware for ramps 1.4 using TB6600 external drivers needed
July 31, 2017 02:18AM
I am in need of some help getting marlin firmware to work with TB6600 drivers.

I can not for the life of me get the drivers to turn the motors at all. I've tried every version of firmware and modified all of them. I have a feeling that the pulses are off for the driver. It the current marlin code 1.1.x doesn't have a way in the configuration fill to change this. I've also tried enabling the Yoshi a drivers with out any luck.

My tired brain also may have fried the driver. I accidentally hooked the +5 pins all up instead of the -5 pins for 5v power. The ramps board works with a standard 4498 driver just fine so the board is in good shape. I might have fried the driver?

When I power the drivers the motor just locks up. So it's engaging the phases. Weird?

Anyone have any luck with TB6600 and marlin 1.1.x?

Did you see this:

[github.com]

// For Inverting Stepper Enable Pins (Active Low) use 0, Non Inverting (Active High) use 1
// :{0:'Low',1:'High'}
#define X_ENABLE_ON 1
#define Y_ENABLE_ON 1
#define Z_ENABLE_ON 1

and

in Configuration_adv.h:
// By default pololu step drivers require an active high signal. However, some high power drivers require an active low signal as step.
#define INVERT_X_STEP_PIN true
#define INVERT_Y_STEP_PIN true
#define INVERT_Z_STEP_PIN true

Thanks for the suggestion.

I missed the Configuration_adv.h changes. Ill try this out tonight and see what I come up with.

Thanks,

Hmmm... well I changed those settings in marlin and nothing is happening. Weird. Motor is still just locked up when the power is on.

Does the stepper driver signal need to have its pulse changed?

Im also getting an unusual error message when I try to move x axis in Repetier.

Any other insight would be greatly appreciated.

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? confused smiley

I have the same problem and resolve with:

#define INVERT_X_STEP_PIN true
#define INVERT_Y_STEP_PIN true

Este es el fallo que tengo, se desplaza el eje y , tengo ramps y tb6600 en todos los ejes, pero solo me falla el Y también es el eje que mueve más peso y tengo dos nenas 17
