which devices are on an SPI bus and their associated pins.

## Why did I get a "TMC reports error: ..." error?
|
||||
|
||||
This type of error indicates the TMC driver detected a problem and has
|
||||
disabled itself. That is, the driver stopped holding its position and
|
||||
ignored movement commands. If Klipper detects that an active driver
|
||||
has disabled itself, it will transition the printer into a "shutdown"
|
||||
state.
|
||||
|
||||
Some common errors and tips for diagnosing them:
|
||||
|
||||
**TMC reports error: ... ot=1(OvertempError!)"**: This indicates the
|
||||
motor driver disabled itself because it became too hot. Typical
|
||||
solutions are to decrease the stepper motor current, increase cooling
|
||||
on the stepper motor driver, and/or increase cooling on the stepper
|
||||
motor.
|
||||
|
||||
**TMC reports error: ... ShortToGND** OR **LowSideShort**: This
|
||||
indicates the driver has disabled itself because it detected very high
|
||||
current passing through the driver. This may indicate a loose or
|
||||
shorted wire to the stepper motor or within the stepper motor itself.
|
||||
|
||||
**TMC reports error: ... reset=1(Reset)** OR **CS_ACTUAL=0(Reset?)**
|
||||
OR **SE=0(Reset?)**: This indicates that the driver has reset itself
|
||||
mid-print. This may be due to voltage or wiring issues.
|
||||
|
||||
**TMC reports error: ... uv_cp=1(Undervoltage!)**: This indicates the
|
||||
driver has detected a low-voltage event and has disabled itself. This
|
||||
may be due to wiring or power supply issues.

## How do I tune spreadcycle/coolstep/etc. mode on my drivers?
