    Hi,
    will this

    M906 X1000 Y1000 I55

    M906 Z1000:1000 I45;U1000

    M906 E1200 I25

    have the nominated steppers have an individual motor idle or will all just have the last I (in this case 25%) ?

    Thanks!

    (P.S. if individual motor idle is possible, could the writing be abbreviated somehow?)

      @lbtqsb From the wiki.............

      Quote......

      "RepRapFirmware does not support individual motor settings where an axis has multiple motors connected to different stepper drivers. The first parameter specified will be used for all motors on the axis. You should use identical motors on any axis that has more than one motor to avoid unexpected behaviour. Example: If you have two motors on your Z axis, physically connected to Z and E0 stepper drivers, configured with M584 Z2:3, set M906 Z200, not M906 Z200:200"

        As far as I know you can only specify one I value.

        It's easy to verify.

        Use the code you have above in your config.g file

        And then after re-boot/reset execute M906 from the DWC Console.

        On my printer I only see one I value displayed.

          @lbtqsb at present only a single idle current setting is a available. I have have it on my work list to support per-axis idle current setting.
