Makelangelo Firmware and Stepper Driver Selectin

[birrelln]

Hi folks,

Is the Makelangelo firmware independent from stepper driver selection on a RAMPS board? For example, would the machine still work using TMC2208 or TMC2130 instead of A4988s? I understand you would not have stall detection or any of that stuff, but would there still be the 1/256 interpolation?

Thanks,
Nate

Different drivers and dip switch settings would affect the microstepping, which is set in configure.h around line 80

#define MICROSTEPS (16.0)

for example, if you have 1/256 microstepping, set the value to 256.

Thanks Dan.

Next step is to get a 32 bit version of Makelangelo going. 😉
