Chris, good information. Once you can connect directly to your printer and load files, monitor, etc it is very difficult to go back to using a SD card, especially the Micro - too easy to loose and break.

Hi Chris, happy to do more about the Mini. Maybe some tuning like E3d Revo micro or component cooling with other fan shroud. Current Marlin or Klipper would of course also be interesting...... I operate the Mini via Octoprint, but I still installed the WLAN update. I find it a bit annoying that you have to enter the API code in the browser every time. But otherwise cool update.

I did this upgrade back when the beta firmware came out. The most annoying part was probably pinching the power switch tabs in enough to be able to pull it out while at the same time trying not to break the plastic case it was clipped in to. The firmware upgrade itself is great, but I found wifi speeds too slow for uploads, and went back to just using the ethernet cable, which had more tolerable (still not fast) upload speeds. Being able to upload gcode to the Mini without using Octoprint and an extra Raspberry Pi is pretty sweet though. It's basic, but gets the job done, and that's enough for me. I don't need the extra bells and whistles of Octoprint for my Mini.

I know this is unrelated to the video but I was hoping you could tell me the difference between the TMC 2208 UART and the regular TMC 2208 stepper. I thought UART or Stand alone, or SPI were determined through the jumpers. Thanks
@ChrisRiley
Жыл бұрын
Most of the time, yes, that is configed with the jumpers. In stand alone the jumpers set the micro stepping and the POT sets the current. In UART or SPI, you control the micro step with gcode as well as the current.
