2.2 Stepper Driver Installation and Configuration

The motherboard supports up to 8 stepper drivers with 9 total outputs. Ensure proper installation and configuration of your stepper drivers.

Figure 2.2: Illustration of the 8 stepper driver slots and jumper configurations for Normal STEP/DIR, UART, and SPI modes. Note that for A4988 or DRV8825 drivers in Normal STEP/DIR mode, RST and SLP pins must be connected with a jumper.

Important Note for TMC2209 Drivers: TMC Motor drivers can be used in SPI or UART mode by simply adjusting the onboard jumpers beneath each motor driver. Additionally, you can connect or disconnect the TMC DIAG pin using an onboard jumper, allowing you to use hard endstops or sensorless homing without cutting any pins.

2.3 Fan Voltage Тандоо

The Octopus V1.1 board allows individual selection of the voltage rail for each of its 6 PWM fans and 2 always-on fans. You can choose between Vin, 12V, or 5V to power your fans.

Figure 2.3: Jumper settings for selecting fan voltage (5V, 12V, Vin). Ensure correct jumper placement to avoid damage.

Caution: If you short the jumpers in any way other than the shown connections, you will likely cause damage to the motherboard.

2.4 Кеңейтүү интерфейстери

The board provides extensive interfaces for DIY projects and advanced functionalities:

• USB-C interface for online printing.
• CAN Bus support for future expansion.
• Thermistor input protection.
• 4 Hotend heaters.
• 6 Endstop switches.
• 2 Fil-DET (filament detection) interfaces.
• Reserved WIFI interface and PT100 thermistor interface (optional).

3.1 Stepper Driver Working Modes (TMC2209)

The TMC2209 stepper drivers support two primary working modes: STEP/DIR and UART.

3.1.1 STEP/DIR Mode

In STEP/DIR mode, the microstep resolution is configured via MS1 and MS2 pins. Refer to the table below for microstep settings.

Figure 3.1: Pinout diagram for TMC2209 V1.3 in STEP/DIR mode and a table detailing microstep resolution based on MS1/MS2 configuration.

3.1.2 UART Mode

For UART mode, the 5th pin of the TMC2209 driver is used as the UART pin. If the driver is factory default, the resistance needs to be removed and welded to the specified pads to enable UART communication.

3.2 Firmware Compatibility

The BIGTREETECH Octopus V1.1 Control Board supports running both Klipper and Marlin firmware, providing flexibility for various 3D printing setups and preferences.

4.1 Stepper Driver Handling

Figure 4.1: TMC2209 V1.3 driver modules. Important notes regarding installation and heat dissipation are provided below.

• Driver Insertion: When inserting the driver into the motherboard, always pay attention to the direction of the drive. It cannot be inserted in reverse, as this will burn the driver.
• Жылуулук таркатылышы: Ensure good heat dissipation (using a heat sink and fan) before operating the driver. This prevents the driver from malfunctioning due to overheating. The TMC2209 module has a large area heat dissipation pad to help reduce temperature during operation.

5.2 Жалпы сактык чаралары

• Always ensure correct polarity and connection of all components before powering on the board.
• Avoid shorting any pins or jumpers incorrectly, as this can lead to permanent damage to the motherboard.
• If experiencing unexpected behavior, first check all wiring and jumper settings against the manual's diagrams.
• Ensure your firmware is correctly configured for the Octopus V1.1 board and your specific setup.
