Bigtreetech SKR V1.4 (Turbo) comprehensive guide

[@VeydinZain]

I have an Ender 3 Pro and replaced with BTT SKR 1.4 Turbo along with the original 12864 LCD Control Screen (came with printer). After doing everything Michael mentioned in this VERY HELPFUL video, I ran into ONE ISSUE. When scrolling down to print off the SD card I would only see "Attach Media". ... After many hours and taking out whatever hair I have left, I noticed under "configuration_adv.h" that the #define SDCARD_CONNECTION was set to LCD (#define SDCARD_CONNECTION LCD). Obviously there is no SD card slot on LCD. You'll need to change it to #define SDCARD_CONNECTION ONBOARD . Flashed the Firmware and finally I see the "Print from Media"! Hope this helps others with the same or similar setup.

[@carbuns]

I just received mine today and started with the struggle...best timing Michael!! Your channel is by far the best in the 3D printing upgrades department (specially ender family) and the quality of your explanations

[@crateer]

Literally just bought a SKR 1.4 Turbo 2 days ago, this video comes more than perfect! Thank You!

[@hmelodesign]

In order to use bltouch proprietary connection in skr 1.4 board, you must change the pins port in pins_BTT_SKR_V1_4.h file. From: #define Z_STOP_PIN P1_27 To: #define Z_STOP_PIN P0_10 Great content teaching tech, keep going!

[@bafxyz]

Thanks man, it fixed it for me

[@joanS12]

You do not need to enable #define_BLtouch in configuration.h?

[@KeKoolKat]

So I've watched this guide multiple times start to finish and it's amazingly thorough. With that being said my ender 3 has been out of commission for about 2 months since I did this upgrade. I followed everything to the T and haven't gotten a successful print since the upgrade. Things I changed are SKR v1.4 Turbo, BLTouch, and Hero Me Gen 5. The issues keeping me from getting a successful print is as follows. When I try to home, the X axis will move slightly then home the Y and Z normally. I tinkered with the sensorless homing sensitivity but the issue is let's say at 55 it moves ever so slightly and stops as if it's homed and at 54 it crashes into the endstop makes a horrible sound until I power off the printer. There are times it doesn't do this so then I move on to bed leveling with the BLTouch, for the most part it levels the 9 points on the bed fine but sometimes when I get to this step it probes off the bed as if the offsets are off but trust me, they aren't. I've gone through the marlin rebuild process about 10 times now, each time starting from scratch and patiently ensuring all the settings are exact and perfect. Another issue is if I make it passed the bed leveling stage and attempt a print the printer acts as if its not leveled and prints like a whole 10mm off the bed and no amount of Z Offset seems to help with this. I've even gone to the extent of disassembling the entire printer and reassembling to make sure everything is square and not built unevenly. I pretty much gave up about a month ago after spending literally 10 hours straight debugging/tinkering/rebuilding marlin, and yes I mean literally my adhd had me in hyper focus mode and did break focus until i noticed how thirsty I was. It's just such a grab bag of issues that I don't know where to start or what would cause what issue. Like the issues I mentioned intermittent like I can have it to where the sensorless homing sensitivity is good enough to where the X will crash but stop after that which is annoying but hey atleast it's moving right? Then i get to leveling and it'll probe off the bed so I have to restart and now the sensorless homing isn't working? but the bed leveling is? makes no sense. I'm not trying to bash your video just really really want some help so I can actually print things again.

[@nathanwilliams2986]

Look at the video about 13:40 minutes if you are using TMC 2209 you need to clip the pin if you are still using the endstops. If you want sensorless homing then remove the endstop and do not clip the pin.

[@gibbnal]

Thank you for doing such in-depth guides. Tonight I upgraded my CR-10s to the SKR 1.4 with 2208 drivers and it went just fine. But it’s very easy to skip something and waste tons of time figuring out the mistake. My advice for noobs like me is to watch, listen and re-watch. Excellent content. Keep up the great work. 👍

[@vannialeonardo6403]

I'm trying to do it on a CR-10s but it is not loading up, it turns on but does nothing.. any idea what I might of missed?

[@raybang9891]

Hi! Are you using Legacy mode or UART mode for your 2208? Because it seems UART mode for 2208 requires soldering, but it's not mentioned in the video,can you confirm? Thanks

[@johnhoeppner1569]

Great video! Very concise and enough detail to get the BTT board setup without a lot of hassle. Getting the BTT V1.4 board to work from scratch isn't a cake walk due to very poor documentation but thankfully there is this video and a lot of info from the community. To make BLTouch work requires that the file "pins_BTT_SKR_V1_4.h (or pins_BTT_V1_4_TURBO.h if you have the TURBO version) be modified as follows: #define Z_STOP_PIN P0_10 //(not P1_27). Similarly in Configuration.h you need to modify this line: #define Z_MIN_PROBE_PIN P0_10 // Bigtreetech 1.4 bltouch Z top pin. The line #define Z_MIN_PROBE_USES_Z_MIN_ENDSTOP_PIN should also be enabled. Getting the board to work with a PT100 temp sensor was a real adventure. It is possible to do this without nasty hardware tweaks but it requires you to create a new THERMISTOR_xx.h file. Just my 2 cents on their Wifi module: don't bother. It's too primitive and buggy. If you need to un-tether your printer go with Octoprint.

[@joanS12]

thanks for the info. You do not need to enable #define_BLtouch in configuration.h?

[@Lozoot2]

I was an early adopter of the 1.3, back before there was hardly any documentation - I'm absolutely amazed at not only how quickly this board became a staple in the 3D printing community, but also how awesome BTT has been with fixes, improvements and features that their customers can actually benefit from! It's nice when companies listen to feedback :D

[@ScottLahteine]

The "Auto Build Marlin" extension makes it much quicker to build and upload Marlin. Install it in Visual Studio Code using the "Extensions Marketplace" tab on the left side. Just search for "marlin" and it will appear. The Marlin logo will then show up as a new button on the left side of the window. Currently ABM just provides a simple interface to do build, upload, and clean, but it will be gaining more configuration tools over time.

[@davidebastanzetti1362]

hi, while it builds marlin, the motherboard should be connected to the computer or not?

[@tunerok]

This is awesome, I have my turbo version with TMC2209 drivers ordered and will be here the 23 and this will come in SUPER handy to help me get my Ender 3 Pro setup. Thanks a ton for doing this U rock! Be safe in these trying times and keep up the awesome job you do for the community!

[@bruceyoung1343]

Question did you clip the diag pin? And did you clip only one OR 3. (X,Y, and Z axis’s)?

[@cabelmcelderry5966]

Ok feel dumb as I don't know what I am missing but about 10:35 you say, "click the tick/check mark to compile" I don't have a tick in the status bar of VScode and can't find the option to compile anywhere? What am I missing? I have it installed on a Mac, I installed extensions it suggested but not familiar so I am lost. Thanks for the help.

[@chrismurphy2484]

For anyone reading this, you need to install some VSCode extensions, including Auto Build Marlin and Platform IO, this will then provide the checkmark

[@HotboiEngineering]

Looking forward to the Closed Loop Stepper video, i've always wanted that Prusa style step loss protection.

[@esk8builder693]

Extraordinary as always Michael. Looking forward to future BTT videos. Interested in the closed loop steppers and ups module.

[@munkpuppy]

I got this board just over a week ago, and I absolutely love it compared to the SKR Mini S3 I was using prior. There's a lot more options and connectivity, and it stores settings without any messing around! I actually went through 2 SKR Mini E3 boards, and both had the X-axis driver burn out in less than a day. I bought the SKR 1.4Turbo because if another driver blew, I could just replace it instead of the whole board. Thankfully, I haven't had any drivers die since! But to be safe, I have installed a remix of the AIO enclosure that has direct cooling to the drivers, and used thermal epoxy to affix the heatsinks, in order to get the best heat transfer. Thanks for all of your work so far, you've been my greatest resource since I started printing almost a month ago!

[@oriongaby]

I feel you, my SKR Mini X axis driver died a couple days ago and I'm now back on the noisy stock board so I can get some prints out. I swore to never buy another board with integrated drivers.

[@munkpuppy]

@@oriongaby my sentiments exactly. I thought maybe I had just gotten a bad board, but an identical failure told me I should try swappable drivers. The 1.4 was exactly what I needed, I just wish this video had come out a week earlier!

[@oriongaby]

@@munkpuppy I think there's something related to the board design that is causing problems with the X axis driver. If you search on the internet you will find other people that have had the same problem. My board died randomly, I was fixing a loose screw in the Y gantry and had to remove the screen and printed drawers that were under the bed, when I plugged the screen back in and turned on the printer the error message was on the screen.

[@munkpuppy]

@@oriongaby mine failed under similar circumstances; both times I turned off the printer to make an adjustment, and the next time I turned it on, the x-axis is dead. Good to know it's not just me!

Excellent video ... The mainboard on my Creality CR10 v2 recently stopped working and I purchased the BTT SRK v1.4 Turbo with TMC2209 v1.3 as a replacement. It's been a straight-forward swap so far and The Marlin setup (V2.1.1) has gone smoothly also.

[@robdavidowitz6428]

Absolutely AWESOME and outstanding instructional video. As a complete novice, this upgrade seems quite daunting for me but after watching this video and related link video, I feel confident to go out and buy the bits and pieces and cracking on with this installation. I might get to eat my words but I somehow doubt it, given your extremely detailed step by step. BEST instruction video I have seem in a very long time Good on you Boet👌👍

One of the best things (YOU) and mnfctrs could do right now is address the older machines and revamping them w new boards and drivers and changing from 12 to 24 volts.. updating software etc. would/could be a REALLY cool video as so many of us have older machines. I originally got this board a few yrs back, then got out of printing due to life changes, back in it and having/wanting to update things. Thanks a bunch and take care! Also.. a video on newest CAD to use and all would be epic also

I just got my BTT SKR 1.4 Turbo with TMC2209 steppers. I plan to install this on a CR10S V1 along with my BLtouch, and direct drive Hemera. The current system is working great, although I feel the need(want) to get a 32bit board. I guess if you mess up you can squeeze the little duck it comes with, that should make you feel better. Thanks for the guides, I'll be going over them multiple times!

Right on time, my SKR V1.4 (Turbo) arrived Monday and the TFT35 got here last week so really stoked to do this upgrade. Was scouring for info as I'm not that familiar with VSCODE but slowly getting oriented. Now with this vid I'm fully confident that I should have no problems with a fairly painless upgrade! I would love to see you do something on the ir sensors as there is very little info out there on utilizing one instead of a BL touch. (1/3 the cost, non contact and high accuracy are just way to attractive IMO )

My 1.4 board arrived this week and I am busy trying to follow the various Github options on my own Marlin compilation. Mainly, I assumed that using the BLTouch in the endstop socket would mean cutting the TMC2209 pin, so thanks to your video I will use the socket and not cut it. From your previous video on the TMC2209 I believe that the inverting can stay the same as the Ender 3 code, so I will go with that. Thanks for your videos!

I ordered my SKR v1.4 a while back. It took forever to get here from China. Haven't decided what to do with it yet. I really like the BigTreeTech products so far. I first bought the SKR E3 and installed it into my Ender 3 Pro. It has been working great so far.😉 I put my SKR v1.3 in my old FLSun Kossel Mini. I used my SKR Pro for my diy cloned Prusa I3 MK2 which I named Birchy because it's main frame is cut out of a sheet of birch plywood. I also used wood filament for some of the printed parts.😋 I also purchased the BTT GTR v1.0 and it's still sitting in its box. I'm thinking of using it for my coreXY build and making it into a tool changer type printer. If I can figure out how to do that.🤔 LOL I also purchased quite a few stepper drivers from them. Only issue I have BTT is I am not sure what I am going to do with all these little rubber ducky's. ROFLMAO 🥴

For "H" point in the wiring checklist at minute point 0:49 it is listed as "RED/BLACK HOT END FAN". That is actually the second hot end heater cartridge attacment point "HE1". The fan plug for the hot end is right next to the second hot end hookup point backed up to the part cooling fan..

[@brittanyb9098]

I know this is an old comment/video but for others who are confused by the HE1 on the board's pinout and find this comment like I just did, the H label on the diagram is correct. At 10:20, the firmware change E0_AUTO_FAN_PIN to P2_04 changes the hotend fan to the HE1 screw-in terminal. So if you are upgrading an Ender 3 (or other printer with a single extruder) and make the firmware changes as instructed, the hotend fan MUST be connected to the HE1 port. This was done to allow for an easier direct replacement for the Ender 3 without having to change a connection type.

I smoked my original Ender -3 mother board following the BL-Touch upgrade. Because the 5 volt color code wiring is confusing. You had other Video that I misted. It was cheaper to use 32 bit SKR 1.3 board that replacing original Ender-3 8 bit motherboard. And with this Convid-19 given time to upgrading my other self design 3-D printers with 32 bit SKR 1.3 or Re-Arm boards. I could not have done any of the upgrades without your video's.

[@brian2329]

Your channel has provided so much help and advice on 3D printing. I have one query at 7:30 it says H is for hot end fan. The port H is for a second hotend on the skr v1.4 turbo. I am having issues with my 2 month old board were the parts cooling is not working. I contacted BTT and forwarded this checklist only to be asked had I connected a fan to the hot end (I hadn't) but told them the port never worked not realising it was a hot end port at the time.

Hi, Michael! I faced a problem when I was upgrading my Tevo Tarantula to a SKR v1.4. When I was connecting my inductive sensor to the Z endstop signal, it wasn't working because of the pull-up resistor. It's a NC inductive sensor. After some research and tinkering, I ended up connecting the signal to the signal of the servo port P2_00, replacing it in the firmware in place of the P1_27. Just to share in case someone faces the same issue or you decide to update your tutorial. Keep up with the nice work!

I was wondering when you would post a video for the SKR 1.4. I watched all of your SKR and driver videos (and all your other Ender 3 related videos) when I ordered my Ender 3 Pro (my very first printer YAY!). I just put the SKR 1.4 Turbo board in last weekend with TMC2209 stepper drivers, didn't mess with the sensorless homing though in hindsight (I clipped my pins) I could have used the switches to make a filament sensor, I'll just do that with the Z switch once my bltouch comes in. Overall I am loving the board and drivers, it's so much quieter than the stock Melzi board! As always, a very informative video! Thank you!

[@fpvtrys2632]

have this board on ender 3 / cr10 s. and amazing results and 2208 drivers for the win.

[@misanthropictear]

thanks Michael, and big fyi to other so you dont smoke your board/dcdc module, i've seen 3 different wire configs on the bl touch, and 2 different wire color schemes (the other not here being red, blue yellow on the servo connector cable instead of brown, orange, yellow). make sure really identify what wire is what coming from bl touch cables and what pin to land it on. I had to swap the servo connector cable blue and red wires as they were swapped for what this board accepts but my black and white were already set ok (and in a white connector not a red like i've seen on many videos including this one). Lastly also note you need to remove that extra senseless homing pin for x,y, AND Z because if you configure your bl touch in the z endstop position you will crash without removing that sensorless homing pin on the driver (i bent mine out of the way in case i wanted to play with sensorless homing later). (unless you change the firmware around to use the actual probe pins next to the servo connector instead of z stop pins then it won't get confused.)

I have used arduino ide a ton, but just getting familiar with 32-bit boards. I can't get my display to work and have tried a ton of things, but think I might have fried my board. If I turned it on while plugged into the 12v PSU and the jumper was in the 5V position... Am I screwed? I have a CR-10S with stock display and the SKR1.4 (TMC2209). I have tried to enable a few of the displays (MKS_LCD12864, REPRAP_DISCOUNT... and a few others with no luck.) The config example didn't work, but that could be because it was designed to work with 8-Bit Melzi board. One last thing, my CR10s has 2x 10-Pin connectors so the CR-10 doesn't work either.

[@DJlegionuk]

I have this board and the smaller tft after you recommended the v1.3 and I saw the 1.4 had dual Z stepper support so thought it would be better for my printer. I am having to make some designs to fit the screen into my copymaster 3d printer as I brought the smaller one, but I can do it without mods to the metal. I also have the tmc2209 so your guide is spot on and I will be using it very soon. It looks like Marlin had copymaster listen in the config files so I think this should be easy enough. The only part left for me is to design a filament cooling duct for the addition fan I had to add as the original setup had a shared fan for the hotend and filament cooling and was very poor.

Do you have a video using this board as a replacement for the Anet A8?

[@KeirMurphy]

Thanks for the video. Upgraded my Tronxy x1 to the SKR 1.4 Turbo and the only issue was BLTouch as you described. Still haven't nailed the 2209 senseless homing yet but doing a big rebuild of the printer and upgrading all axes so will work on it a bit more. I think one thing to mention is that only the cooling fan is PWM. The rest are always on at 100%. This is a bit annoying if you have a 5015 parts fan as it will be very loud. I'm considering putting this into the second extruder port and then configuring the firmware to use that pin config instead.

[@fredwupkensoppel8949]

Wow, I'm planning on buying a printer with a BTT SKR series board next year and did not know that it flashes itself if you insert a micro SD with new firmware on it. Already planned on having a USB ISP permanently attached to it. Well, guess I don't have to plan for that anymore. Thanks!

Two important steps: Install Visual Studio Code, it is free Install extension inside Visual Studio Code ( Platformio ), it is free

I was so happy to start using this board, but I'm stuck in the very first step: VS Code compiling. First of all, opening the config.zip it has several folders instead of 4 files. All folders named from a board, there are no SKR V1.4 Turbo, what I have. So, I just pick the SKR Mini E3 2.0 folder's files. Second is, when I did all the changes you suggested, during compilation I got several error messages and I do not know what to do to get rid of them: Compiling .pio/build/LPC1769/src/src/HAL/LPC1768/HAL.cpp.o Compiling .pio/build/LPC1769/src/src/HAL/LPC1768/HAL_SPI.cpp.o Compiling .pio/build/LPC1769/src/src/HAL/LPC1768/eeprom_flash.cpp.o In file included from Marlin/src/HAL/LPC1768/../../core/../inc/MarlinConfig.h:41, from Marlin/src/HAL/LPC1768/../../core/serial.h:24, from Marlin/src/HAL/LPC1768/DebugMonitor.cpp:25: Marlin/src/HAL/LPC1768/../../core/../inc/SanityCheck.h:1617:6: error: #error "USE_CONTROLLER_FAN requires a CONTROLLER_FAN_PIN.

[@kennethnewman9927]

I have the same problems with the config files. It's almost like a dumbass copied a wrong folder into that one single ender 3 folder. The rest seem to be legit. Let me know if you find a fix, and I'll do the same, man.

[@jonasjensen4798]

@@kennethnewman9927 I had the same problem. I found that i had not filled out the define motherboard correctly, it must read exactly #define MOTHERBOARD BOARD_BTT_SKR_V1_4

[@mindbendernine]

I am 100% convinced that there must be one or more firmware settings that Michael did not mention that will allow a BLTouch to work with this stupid SKR 1.4 Turbo board. I have tried a billion different firmware settings (all suggestions from desperate owners) to get this BLTouch unit working, and I've had no luck whatsoever. If you're bored at home and want nothing but trouble, frustration and despair, then pick up one of these SKR v1.4 Turbo boards + TMC2209 + BLTouch combos. You'll hate it just as much as I do. How can this be, you ask? If you're Googling for a possible solution, you'll find that are a large number of Ender 3 owners w/ this exact hardware that can't get the BLTouch to work. There isn't a standardized configuration that works despite everyone having the same hardware. How is that possible? You'll read a billion posts by people saying "Try this setting... change this on the Configuration.h file... It worked for me..." What a nightmare.

[@thomasvangils6946]

still got problems? i got mine working on a creality cr10s5 so can try to help you out

[@Lidocain777]

I'm in the process of converting my current printer to a SKR 1.4 Turbo + sensorless homing on X/Y axis. Should be fairly easy without using the pre-made configuration files. :)

[@onecarwood]

Great Guide. I will use this board.

[@richardrhoads9088]

Just in time.. Mine came yesterday even though I ordered it 2 months ago!

[@stevenpaulson4739]

I just done all you have done in your video but I haven't got a tick and the bottom to compile the file I am new to this programing thing It could be something simple i a missing

[@jstsxgtzm9440]

I have the same problem as you and I can't find the firmware.bin please help me out if you find some informations earlier than me

[@joanS12]

Same problem... Did you find it?

[@stevenpaulson4739]

Anyone find a fix

[@stevenpaulson4739]

I am thinking it could be something stupid like does the mainbored have to be plugged in to pc

[@joanS12]

​@@stevenpaulson4739 i found the fix. For the tick on the bottom, you have to do this procedure: platformio.org/install/ide?install=vscode Regarding the .bin, it is on the file .pio. But this file was hiden on my computer. it's more complicated on mac than window to show hidden file, but I manage with the terminal: 1/ Write: defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles true 2/ Press Enter 3/ Write: killall Finder

[@ianrhinehart]

Just in case anyone like me doesn't have a coding background besides installing VS code you will also need to install the PlatformIO addon to be able to get the compile button. I have been banging my head trying to figure out how to get the checkmark at the end of modifying the code.

[@aspmos]

Excellent video, I think I should buy one

[@bepstein111]

Just a quick addition, the "Wifi Module" is just an ESP-01 (very basic version of the ESP8266) that you can get on aliexpress or banggood for like a buck each.

[@bepstein111]

You can use any FTDI or USB-Serial adapter to program them, that's all their BTT Writer is

[@DouglasK]

I have the 1.4 Turbo along with a set of TMC-2209s and the display on order. Looking forward to it!

[@phyranios]

Did it work? I'm having a hard time flashing marlin to it

[@DouglasK]

@@phyranios worked fine. You need to put the firmware file on the SD card and then reboot the printer. It will flash the firmware, then rename the firmware file.

[@GunGryphon]

I really enjoyed volume a lot of the upgrade tutorials that you do, especially for the creality series of printers. I was wondering, would you consider creating a guide for an economical dual extruder upgrade?

[@DKTRANSPORTER]

just ordered this board with an extra extruder so i can try multi color and 2209 the turbo bl touch touch screen and more cant wait to hook it all up when it arrives

[@danieleperi6068]

Is it possible to have the Configuration.h (and probably also Configuration_adv.h) file in case of hardware endstops? I see in the video (13:44) this configuration is tested, but I am unable to do so... I have a SKR 1.4 Turbo board with TMC2209 drivers. I have cut out the pin as required and I have configured the jumpers as in your video (13:40) in order to have UART enabled. I have succesfully compiled and installed marlin 2.0 taken from the Bigtreetech website. There is some further change in the pin configuration to apply to the board? Thanks!

[@L3X369]

Ordered one for my already ordered Ender 3 V2.

[@bigfoot650]

Great video as usual, very informative. I have just upgraded my dual Z axis ender 3 pro to the 1.4 turbo (my 1.3 failed). I was using individual stepper drivers for each z axis motor but decided to try the dual ports on the new board. After setting everything up I was getting random horizontal lines in my prints. Then I realized that because the 2 stepper motors are now running of one driver I needed to up the Vref for the Z axis as it was skipping steps. I was running at 0.8v, I had to up it to 1.1v and everything works fine now

[@dm5124]

Thanks for your guidance. You may forget to mention that there is a long beep when starting up skr 1.4, this is normal. Github Marlin issue #13965 mentions about this long beep.

[@toddcoello6461]

I am currently working on putting this in my Geeetech A20M. I just got the old board out and am now going through some wiring to get it in there. Hopefully all goes well. I already have the marlin a20m firmware on it and the 2209 drivers installed. I am hoping this weekend to be testing it.
