M906 for external drivers

[baird1fa]

Hey guys, I'm setting up a Duet2 wifi for a CNC router and I'm using external drivers so I'm wondering if I just omit the M906 command or do I need to set anything for that as there aren't any drivers to actually set the current for.

Thanks.

External drivers should have a way to set the current.

You cannot do it with M906.

@fcwilt

Right, so then just omit the M906 from the config.g correct?

Yes.

If you're not suing the internal drivers at all you can disable them entirely with M569 P# R-1 where # is the driver number.
