Retrieve and Set Stealthchop for TMC Drivers[Request]:

[skl111]

What would you like implemented?

It would be great if M569 was integrated so you can see the Stealthchop mode Status and back it up before you flash firmware so you could restore that config.

[cp2004]

Does this data show up in an M503 command? Currently, pretty much everything that is included with this plugin is parsed out of that command and I would like to avoid a sending a whole list of commands if I can.

If you can post the full M503 response that would be great so I can have a copy to test against, but I will also say I have not got any time to add this for the coming 2 months, but after that I may be able to look at it.

Yes it does. m569 near the bottom

[cp2004]

Just to follow up on why this has not been added - the driver modes are defined a bit differently to almost every other EEPROM command.

S1: Set StealthChop mode S0: Set SpreadCycle mode

This can be set for the different axes individually or multiple in one go, which is more difficult to fit in to the common data structure/definitions every other command follows. Additionally, in the M503 response it doesn't actually include the E configuration (perhaps because it is spreadcycle and the others are stealthchop) which makes it hard for this plugin to work out whether to show E values or not (Also applies to a printer that might have multiple tools, multiple Z axis steppers, etc.)

If I find time (there are other plugins higher up the TODO list), I may have a look to see if there is a way around this but I can't say if I will be able to add this.

[skl111]

Yep, your correct in that when its SpreadCycle it doesn't show. They correspond that with the S0 having it set to off and the S1 having it set to on for the other motors.

I understand there are other updates above this task, and I can continue to work around not having this feature.
