Octopus Max EZ v1.0 - EZ2209 Sensorless homing

[@detlefeppers1848]

Hi Ed, first I have to say a big thank you to you for your brilliant video tutorials, I learned so much that I can't believe it would have been possible to learn it differently and so quickly, thank you very much. Inspired by your tutorials, I experimented with BTT SKR Pro V1.2 and the JMC IHSV57 servos I used for the X and Y axes. I connected it with an adapter that is plugged directly into the chip socket for the motor driver. The lines En, DIR, Pulse are led out of them. In the beginning it didn't work, but when I set the setting for the X and Y motor driver to TB6560 in Marlin it worked. I'm so excited about the result that I've switched all my 3D printers to these servos, including my Twotrees Sapphire, because these things are just silent, nothing, you just don't hear anything. In addition, I can adjust the super fine with the Windows software from JMC. Now the question arises, will there be adapters for the new slots for the motor drivers that are used on the new boards like Manta and octopus and will the settings for TB6560 and TB6600 in Marlin be retained so that I can operate my servos with these boards? Is there a chance that you will make a tutorial on the subject? Thank you so much.

The New Steppers are rolling out Slowly. I have a New Stepper, but had to wait most the summer for heat to drop to record to avoid fan causing sound issue. Hoping to start recording this Friday Night some interesting Stuff.

This is very helpful, thank you. But I noticed, when you plug in the motor power? You don’t show where it’s coming from. Do you just have separate wires attached to their own screw terminals on the PSU? Some people seem to connect a 2nd wire into the main and then loop a short red, and short black, over to the motor connections. I’m new to wiring and not sure why I see boards wired up differently…doubling up or piggy-backing instead of their own PSU to board connection. Also, many people use spade or ring connectors….and I find the ferrules so much easier to crimp. Do your ferrule connectors stay in securely? Sorry for all the questions!

[@EdwardBraiman]

It's connected to one PSU of 24 volts. Normally I have spade connectors, but was working with a terminal block for ferrule connector previously. The board can use two different PSU, but I personally avoid due to ground plane issues.

Thank you for the tutorial Ed, I've been watching lots of your tutorials lately and I could say you've helped me figure out most things with setups. I have a question about where those power supply cables are connected to. I have the same Octopus Max EZ control board, BTT pad 7 with Drok power supply. I was able to power the Octopus Max EZ using a USB cable earlier.

Hello Ed thanks for the videos they so nice. But i have 1 big question i want to buy a new board but i can't figure out which one . I have a Voron v2.4 with klipper and a fystec spider v3.0 board. i thinking of buying a bigtreetech m8p or a Octopus max you tried both of them which do you think is the best for a voron v2.4 with klipper?

[@EdwardBraiman]

M8P if you're using Klipper.
