Why is there no Guide how to use this? #190

Now what? Just running AUTOTUNE_TMC STEPPER=stepper_x in the Console does nothing - No Movements, no Reports, nothing like what you'd experience when doing a Resonance Calibration... Not even an Error Message.

What are we supposed to be looking for? Would someone please give an explanation how to operate this to someone with ZERO knowledge how to operate this?

Same Here !

Did you add your steppers to the printer.cfg?

i.e. like mine...

[autotune_tmc stepper_x] motor: ldo-42sth48-2004mah voltage: 48

[autotune_tmc stepper_x1] motor: ldo-42sth48-2004mah voltage: 48

[autotune_tmc stepper_y] motor: ldo-42sth48-2004mah voltage: 48

[autotune_tmc stepper_y1] motor: ldo-42sth48-2004mah voltage: 48

[autotune_tmc stepper_z] motor: ldo-42sth60-2004ac voltage: 24

[autotune_tmc stepper_z1] motor: ldo-42sth60-2004ac voltage: 24

[autotune_tmc stepper_z2] motor: ldo-42sth60-2004ac voltage: 24

[autotune_tmc extruder] motor: ldo-36sth20-1004ahg voltage: 24

Well yea, to some degree ( since there is no Example Guide ): Screenshot 2024-08-10 111727

What are we supposed to do after entering all the Edits into the printer.cfg?

Xplode85 commented 1 month ago

After you do the edits there isn't really anything else to do except notice the different sounds from your steppers. There is no real active autotuning, it's just setting stepper driver parameters based on the stepper motors you have added in printer.cfg

This has worked succesfully for me and all my printers got quieter, stepper drivers did get a little hotter thou so i got a temperature warning.

Thanks for the Clarification.

Unfortunately, it didn't seem to do a lot ( if anything? 🤔 ) for me even when adding the remainder Configuration possibilities to it... Sound didn't change when switching from Auto ( Performance for X/Y ) to Silent. Ah well... 😑
