TMC5160T PRO with AdafruitFeather M0 -> Stepper is not moving

[StefanMeGit]

Hi, i try to play around with a NEMA34 and the BIGTREETECH TMC5160T Pro board. It looks like i hooked up evrything correctly but i still cant get the motor spinning. I cant turn the shaft of the motor, but it will never move from program.

BOARD: BIGTREETECH TMC5160T Pro

Is there any hint u can give me?

It looks like the SPI connection is just fine. The config works exexpt the motor isnt spinning...

Found a TMC device.
IC version: 0x30 (TMC5160).

Global status: 0x5
Driver status: 0x80080000

Start power stage tuning ? 
y/n (Default: n):
Starting operation with lowest current setting possible.

You should monitor one of the bridge outputs (motor coil connections) using a scope.
Let's choose the MOSFET gate driver current. This should be the lowest setting giving slopes < 100ns
Current DRVSTRENGTH value: 2. Press +/- to increase / decrease or d when done.+/-/d):

Output on the test program, stepper is not moving:

Hello, You're talking about TMC5160T PRO but sent a link for TMC5160T PLUS, which one is it ?

Anyway, these lines should give some good hints :

Global status: 0x5 Driver status: 0x80080000

According to the TMC5160 datasheet (that you definitely need to know a little bit to use this board) : GSTAT = 0x5 => charge pump undervoltage

So it looks like the charge pump undervoltage should be investigated : how is the board powered, is the voltage high enough, the power supply strong enough ?

I strongly suggest that you run the "Config wizard" example and follow the instructions in order to define the correct parameters for your driver board and motor, there are a lot of parameters and I tried to make it a bit more user friendly with this code.

Looking at the TMC5160T PLUS schematic it seems that you need to provide an external 24V supply as well as the 8-60V motor supply and the VIO voltage. Is it the case ?

[StefanMeGit]

Yes its the case. I provided VIO, 24 and 24V for the motor.

The Problem was the SPI/STANDALONE/UART mode jumper. The shematics are simply wrong.

For SPI u need to have to bridge the bottom two pins. The picture shows it wrong...
