MAKERBASE MKS TMC2160 and MESA 7I96e was created by stefan63

Does anyone have any experience hooking up this driver to the MESA 7i96e ethernet board?
I can connect to it but can't get any motion? The driver only have GND ENA CLK and +5V connections.
How do I wire this driver to my MESA card?

GND    GND

Not sure what to do with ENA either connect to 7I96 +5V or leave open...
Is there a manual on the MKS2160?

Are the motors locked? If they are, then the drive is active and working.
If they are not, then I would look at enable more carefully.

What step length did you choose?
