NOTE:

  • specifically speaking about version 1.1 of the bigtreetech octopus pro 1.1 controller board which will be used for my voron trident build.
  • its important to gain as much familiarity with the pin out of this board.

stepper jumpers for 24v and 60v

the btt octopus pro board can support high voltage steppers and the board has mains power and motor power terminals

when working with stepper drivers that need 24V we can power individual stepper using mains power so we insert jumpers as following

when working with stepper drivers that need higher than 24V we can power individual stepper using motor power so we insert jumpers as following

NOTE: ensure that you have correct voltage power supply connected to the MOTOR POWER + and - connectors as this is what will power the steppers
