Stepper Motor Versions (N4 & N4 Pro)
During the initial setup, you'll be asked for two key details:
The current for the stepper motors
and the PCB version
.
Be aware that these two models come with various stepper motors and PCB versions.
Incorrectly setting the motor current can cause irreversible damage, so verify your selections carefully.
Choose one of these methods to determine your motor's current:
Refer to the barcode on your printer.
Models before July 2023 (Neptune 4) or June 2023 (Neptune 4 Pro) use 0.8A steppers; later models use 1.2A steppers.
Look in the "TMC UART configuration" section of the printer.cfg file that came with your printer.
The run_current for stepper_x and stepper_y will show "0.8" or "1.0 to 1.2".
Check the inscription on the X/Y stepper motors. "BJ42D15-26V77" indicates 0.8A, and "BJ42D22-53V04" indicates 1.2A.
When you access the eMMC, note the PCB / Main-board's version number, which will be either V1.0 or V1.1.
