[BUG] SKR V1.3 and TMC5160 v1.2 - driver error

[040medien]

Description

I'm using 5 TMC5160 V1.2 (BIGTREETECH) on my SKR v1.3.

At boot after a few seconds I get the "Driver Error PRINTER HALTED please reset" error message.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Set up board with 5 TMC5160 according to standard SPI guide (all red jumpers closed under the driver). According to the manufacturer pin 6 is now connected to ground with v1.2, so no change needed.
2. Set up marlin with the attached config
3. For testing connect a single stepper motor
4. right after booting, run M122 (output below).
5. wait a few seconds.

Expected behavior: [What you expect to happen]
Firmware working

Actual behavior: [What actually happens]
Firmware stops with "Driver error"

Additional Information

• Configs.zip
• I'm using tmcstepper library v0.5.0

Which Marlin version do you use ?
Did you try latest version ?
Did the board work before this (with other drivers) ?
Do you get a compiler error when using 4988 drivers ?

I cut clk pin

@040medien Check out bigtreetech/BIGTREETECH-TMC5160-V1.0#2

[040medien]

Tak tvixen.

I've was on the latest 2.0 bugfix as of yesterday (c7acd5c) but also tried Bigtreetech's latest Marlin 2.0 fork for the SKR with the same result.

The board runs fine with DRV8825 drivers. No compiler errors with DRV8825 or 4988.
I will try to cut the clk pin.

Thank you @vaka1983 and @extesy - it was the clk pin. You don't need to pull it to gnd anymore, but it needs to be disconnected from the board.

Hello @040medien ,
could you describe in more detail whre to disconnect from?
Thanks

[040medien]

@modwadd, you need to clip or remove this pin:

I simply heated the solder and pushed the pin up so it no longer makes connection with the board.

[modwadd]

OK Thanks.
I did it for my SKR Pro too.
Together with the switch to SW SPI it now works for me too. (no TCM error)
