      the duex 5 is cool because the led and fan controlling are very useful for me !

        i ve read that is possible to get out of function the tmc driver on the duex 5 ? maybe is this a possibility for my construction ! if i understand for right i have to clean up a 0 ohm resistance? wich part is it on the duex 5 ? maybe you can help me ?

          As I understand there is a new version of the duex underway without the drivers. May be an idea to wait for this to come.

            thanks twigz

            i know about the duex 0, but the issue is, that the engine has to run in the next 2 weeks for a big project !
            i want to built an nice controlling system without loose cables and connectors !
            if the duet need 2 stepper tmc, probably i can use 3 dir/en/puls pins from the 50 pin header and the other 2 from the conn lcd that i all 5 external connectors from the duet heater extansion ! than the duex 5 work as an duex 2 in combination with the heater extansion ?

              How many external stepper drivers do you need? With a DueX2 you can still use 3 on the external stepper breakout board.

              How big are the motors you need to drive? The Duet can drive some Nema23 motors directly.

                the printer is a 1,5 cubic m printer with nema 34 engines and i need 4 of them( double z one big on x and one for y ) ! in an other conversation i read that you told one guy to clean up the 0 ohm resistor on duex 5 to make it like the duex 2 ! my question is, wich resistor is it on the duex 5 and can i set all 5 out of function !

                  its a combined cnc mill printer setup, thats why i use nema 34.

                    You would also need to remove the 3 unused TMC2660 chips, otherwise they will interfere with the readings from the others.

                      Sounds like a job for Duet 3! We were driving Nema 34 motors from the prototype at the TCT show last year. But it's not in production yet.

                        i know that you do a good job on this site, maybe i will change the controlling system if its avalable!
                        wich part number is the resistor on the board and should i clean up the transistors too ?
                        does the firmware need the other two tmc chips ?

                          can i send a 5v signal to the endstop pins on the 50 pin header ?

                            What you could do is use logic gates to split the step/dir signal and feed them into multiple seperate motor drivers. This would fix your need for drivers as well as open up some slots.
                            A guy on another thread did this but didn't really go into detail how Soni figured it out myself.
                            I'll do the same once I'm at the stage of wiring

                              No, use a small signal diode in series with it, anode to the endstop input, cathode to your endstop device. Depending on your endstop device, it may need to be a Schottky diode.
