TMC2100s do not feature UART or SPI communication, so you won't get any results from M122. You'll want to set microstepping with the jumpers. VREF sounds reasonable.

@towe Thank you for explaining this strange message! Googling it gives nothing. I realised, that I relied on this message when trying different RepRap configurations. When I have time, I will try them once more with some basic movement commands instead.

# TMC2100 stepper motor drivers not detected on SKR 1.4 turbo with RepRap firmware

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-03-16)

I've upgraded my board to SKR1.4 turbo with RepRap firmware. Heated bed and heated nozzle work, but motors do not move.
OctoPrint reports them as 'no-driver-detected'.

```
Send: M122
...
Recv: Driver 0: position 67347, no-driver-detected
Recv: Driver 1: position 67347, no-driver-detected
Recv: Driver 2: position 67347, no-driver-detected
Recv: Driver 3: position 0, no-driver-detected

```

I tried to figure out what is wrong, but did not find good documentation for this combination of hardware.

This is how I setup the drivers.

1. I removed all *four* jumpers from the board below each driver (MS0, MS1, MS2, RST).
2. Plugged each driver to the board making sure that the corresponding pins match (GND to GND etc.)
3. Checked voltage between ground pin of the board and VREF pin of the driver. The voltage was 1.365 V (same for each driver). This is a bit higher than some guides suggest, but the drivers worked perfectly with the old board.

Some guides suggest modifying driver timings if the motors do not move, but I was unable to find the right timings for my drivers. What could be wrong in my setup?

As @username_1 mentioned, 'no-driver-detected' messages in Octoprint log are harmless if you have TMC2100 motors. After experimenting with RepRap settings I found the correct configuration that works with my hardware. Here is the relevant part of the configuration.
