Hi all, so several weeks back I successfully built Marlin firmware when I installed MakerbaseTMC 2209 v2 drivers on my Tevo Tornado and everything was working fine.

Well a few days I decided to use the latest Firmware, now I am seeing errors.
Using gcode M122, I see:

Recv: Testing X connection... Error: All LOW
Recv: Testing Y connection... Error: All LOW
Recv: Testing Z connection... Error: All LOW
Recv: Testing E connection... Error: All LOW

I haven't changed anything on my printer, I've checked my file diff several times with my Configuration files and I don't see anything off. I've re-watched the YouTube setup video by Makerbase to make sure I didn't fat finger anything.

Has anyone reported the same? Can anyone help.

Here is my configuration file: [github.com]

The motherboard I am using is MSK Gen L V1.0
TMC2209 Driver v2.0 made by Makerbase

#define MOTHERBOARD BOARD_MKS_BASE
// #define MOTHERBOARD BOARD_MKS_GEN_L

Why is BOARD_MKS_GEN_L commented out?

Where is the original configuration file? for comparison?

dammit, it put me in a different topic lol, sorry about that

The original is BOARD_MKS_BASE
I tired the other but didn't correct the error so I left it commented out.

The original Tevo Tornado firmware is here: [github.com]
the latest Marlin firmware is here: [github.com]

@pacos526 the ender pro 3 is not Tevo Tornado, nor do they use the same motherboard, if you're going to hi-jack this thread it's going to cause more confusion.

So I think I made this mistake in the past and don't recall what I did to fix it, but MKS GEN-L V1.0 does not support UART, I need to disable this in the firmware, how do I do this?

The markerbase videos are horrible which doesn't help my situation.

I think my solution is to comment out the drivers, otherwise I believe this put the firmware into UART mode, which is not supported by my motherboard and thus is reporting an error.

// #define X_DRIVER_TYPE TMC2209
// #define Y_DRIVER_TYPE TMC2209
// #define Z_DRIVER_TYPE TMC2209
// #define E0_DRIVER_TYPE TMC2209

If someone knows better please advice.

it doesn't support it as plug in play.

but you can wire it to support uart, with some soldering and connecting uart pins to aux2

sorry about that, how do I delete my comments? I'm new to this forum

No worries, I suggest you do a search first in the forum for answers and only create a post asking for help if you don't find a solution.
Make sure to put all the info, like if you just purchased the 3d printer and try to build a new firmware for it,
or did you purchase a new board (make, model, version) same for the TMC2209 driver chips (make, model, version).
Where you got the original configuration files or what you changed yourself.

Here is an example search you can try ("TMC2209 connection error"): [reprap.org]

Maybe look through these results see if anything helps.
