Hello, Forget all that mess. I got the stepper(s) tested and the coils match up but the red and green wires for the first coil need to be switched for the TMC2100 drivers that are on the Replicape. Although, they, the people behind the Replicape, are leaning on updated boards, one fellow said he would still support the Replicape.
... I am guessing that this will only last so long of a period before they get swamped w/ new customers and have to support only their board and not the Cape. Who knows, really? Seth P.S. I do appreciate support at times but all the etiquette lessons need to stop. I prefer discussions on subjects. I mean this idea holds true; everything is not up front. Anyway, thank you.
