Burned up the stepper driver #9 on my Duex5

[cdl1701yahoo.com]

So, yeah, totally my fault as I had the connector offset by one pin since I was not using the locking type and instead using the DuPont type. This is a good reason to use the locking type as you can't put them on wrong, lesson learned.

So now I am getting a continuous Warning: high temperature reported by driver(s) 9 even though I have changed my config to use driver 8 and commented out the M569 line for driver 9. I am thinking I would like to try to replace the driver but the only ones I am finding are on Digikey (TMC2660-PA-T
) and says it has a 26 week lead time!! Is there anywhere else I can get these and is that the correct driver?

Yes, TMC2660s are in short supply right now, we have just enough supply to meet our production targets. Here in the UK, Farnell is showing them as available to backorder for dispatch in September, https://uk.farnell.com/trinamic/tmc2660-pa/motor-driver-stepper-qfp-44/dp/2822176, so not as bad as 26 weeks.

Also, is there a way to get it to stop sending the warning about high temp?

You can disable the driver and its monitoring using parameter R-1 in the M569 command for that driver.

@dc42 Thanks for the help Dc42. The reporting has stopped but the driver is still really hot to the touch so I am going to add a fan to blow across the drivers for now until I can get some replacements.

you might as well remove it now, the others will work fine without it as the communication for the 2660 is in parallell with SPI
