Has anyone successfully got Dual Z axis to work on the skr 1.3 with marlin 2.0? I’m using VS code.
I have enabled dual Z axis in advanced configuration and tried enabling either Z2 axis and E1 in the configuration setting. Neither way worked. It compiles fine, the z2 motor just didn’t move. I have it on the E1 socket.
I have got dual X And Y axis to work, but no luck with Z.
here are my settings. they have changed a bit since that i believe, not sure, but that at least works for me.
skr 1.3 with tmc2130 and sensorless homing etc
OK…so it’s a bit late but I think your problem with Z2 not moving lies in the pins_BTT_SKR_V1.3.h file. You need to change the E2 pin #defines to Z2 –

what? no you don’t… i have dual Z and definitely didnt have to do that. Just make sure you set extruders to 0. The old firmware wouldnt let you, and you had to change the pinouts around for it to work, but that got fixed quite some time ago
It only got fixed quite some time ago if you used the branch of the firmware that got fixed quite some time ago. Not everybody gets their firmware from the same source.
It didn’t work until just before 2.0.0. It broke again with some eeprom issues right after that. I added a test case in Marlin for an EXTRUDERS=0, and most of our CNC settings, and that keeps it at least compiling when new features roll in. Since then, it has been good, AFAIK.
Marlin has a lot of different configurations they support, and most versions of the software don’t get tested live on all the configurations for every version. So there are sometimes growing pains. Ryan does a good job of configuring the latest versions for the boards he has, and does some testing live before he releases, so I always suggest people should start from Ryan’s firmware if you are shooting for a V1 machine. But it is your machine, you can put what you want on it. That’s the great part about it.
Thanks for providing access to these files. This is the only version I can get to compile at this time.
Does this version support dual enstops? I would assume so as it’s for dual axis.

edit, this is meant for Jeff. New to the forum and I guess I didn’t get the reply right lol
I don’t have endstops on my machine, but I tried not to break that feature. So it should work. I am least confident that I got the inverting flags right.
