It can be made to work most likely, with SPI. I dont know about the ethernet though, or if the GD-407 will work.

Would Remora work with this ?

The STM32 Remora-EC500 code base would be a very close starting point. The EC500 uses a different version of the F407 so pin assignments would need to be checked.

Hi cakeslob,
I have used your repository github.com/cakeslob/Remora/tree/nucleo_staticZE .
Thanks for your implementation for Nucleo 446ZE.
I am sharing the video for the issue.
In MDI I hit 5 mm, the stepper moves slightly over 5 mm then it retracts to commanded position of 5 mm.

Hi cakeslob!

I'm finally at the wiring and controller stage of my build and so I'm picking this back up.

Still trying to use the Spider king board and big TMC5160s

I put the firmware.bin file on an SD card and popped it into the spider king. Flash led (red one on the core module) flashed on off for a while then stopped. On reboot there is lots of something going to the serial port but none of it is human readable? I used an Arduino to read the pass the serial to a terminal on my pc like you would a UART to usb adapter.

Is 115200 the correct baud rate? I'm connecting to the Rx/tx pins on the raspberry pi connector on the spider king (I remember that it doesn't use the usb ones by default)

How do I debug before trying to connect the SPI? 
​​
Cheers for your work!

hey viren, add these deadband lines to your ini and hal for each axis. you may need to adjust the values a little
