        You could try picking up the step and direction signals from the connector for the 2-driver daughter board. The signal levels are 3.3V.

          Hello, if I don’t use the onboard TMC2224, but use STEP and DIR on the board to connect 5 external drives, what should I do?
          Thank you

            the duet maestro does not support the 2209.
            only the 2224.

            And the 2208, which is the same as the 2224 with a different pinout. It may be possible to get TMC2209 drivers working too, but stall detection would not be available.

              The maximum number of STEP and DIR signal pairs you can pick up is 2.

                If this is the case with an external drive module, how do I set it up?

                  You will need to common the grounds too.

                  We've never tried using external drivers with the Duet Maestro, but if it works at all, I don't think it will need any setting up apart from the usual steps/mm with M92.

                      what do you mean by that? you want to replace the internal drivers?

                          you want to desolder the onboard drivers?

                          at that stage it might be easier to get a skr board and run the lpc port of rrf on it

                                    why would you want to use a drv8825 instead of a tmc driver?

                                      @Veti I want to use a big drive to drive a big motor, not just DRV8825

                                          The price of DUET3 is beyond my ability.
                                          I like DUET2MAESTRO very much, but TMC2224 is not what I want, I want more flexible drive support

                                            it makes no sense to buy a maestro and replace the drivers.

                                            one of these ports with the port makes more sense.
