3 years ago Send $Current from a serial or WebUI console to see the values for the motor currents. The default is quite low to prevent overheating. Those drivers can go up to about 1.9A.
Set the current like this $X/Current/Run=0.9 X is the axis and 0.9 is the current in Amps
There are a lot more settings than regular Grbl. See this page.

Hello, I'm using the TMC2209 Pen Laser V2.0 board. It's running a coreXY pen plotter with pretty standard Nema 17 motors. The issue is that I'm having is that the motors stall very easily. Simply by me putting a finger on the pen, the motors will stall and lose steps.
However, when I drive the same pen Plotter but with an Arduino Uno and a cheap Chinese CNC shield running grbl 1.1, there is no stalling at all. The torque from the motors is exactly as I'd expect. No losing steps, no stalling.
I've included the boot information and hoping that it is a simple oversite on my end. Please let me know if more information is needed.
Thank you
