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.

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.
