#error "TMC2208 or TMC2209 on Z2 requires Z2_HARDWARE_SERIAL or Z2_SERIAL_(RX|TX)_PIN.

I am getting this error configuring 3 z steppers w 2208's any insight would be great.

2208's are fine on X & Y

Any documentation on 3 z stepper configurations?

for TMC2208 is uart mode you need in your pins_AZTEEG_X3_PRO.h file

#ifndef Z_SERIAL_TX_PIN
    #define Z_SERIAL_TX_PIN  -1
  #endif
  #ifndef Z_SERIAL_RX_PIN
    #define Z_SERIAL_RX_PIN  -1
  #endif
  #ifndef Z2_SERIAL_TX_PIN
    #define Z2_SERIAL_TX_PIN -1
  #endif
  #ifndef Z2_SERIAL_RX_PIN
    #define Z2_SERIAL_RX_PIN -1
  #endif
  #ifndef Z3_SERIAL_TX_PIN
    #define Z3_SERIAL_TX_PIN -1
  #endif
  #ifndef Z3_SERIAL_RX_PIN
    #define Z3_SERIAL_RX_PIN -1
  #endif

replacing the -1 with the pins you are using.
