As above, I have gotten as far as configuring in software but I’m unsure of pins etc

The furthest I’ve got is a printer that detects a stall right away, but even if I decrese sensitivity by 1 (yes 1) it wont stall

I have to ask… WHY?
Sensorless homing on a coreXY printer is (while doable) sub optimal as both motors have to stall to at the same time. That is why Sovol put switches in in the first place.
You may find this to be useful:

Also expand your search to include Voron as well as the Zero.

Because I’d like so set up the board the way i’d….LIKE…..
Besides I have four corexy’s running sensorless without problems.
The reason for my question is the lack of a jumper for the diag pin, the lack of a jumper led me to hope the 5160’s could have diag enabled some other way.
Just thought if anyone else had gone down this path before I get into datasheets and start making my own soloution.

It may be possible to monitor stallguard over SPI. See:
> **[\[tmc5160\] - Configuration reference - Klipper documentation](https://www.klipper3d.org/Config_Reference.html#tmc5160)**

> This document is a reference for options available in the Klipper config file.
The SPI message DRV\_STATUS contains SG\_RESULT which should mirror the DIAG pin (with minor delay due to bus delays). I can’t find a method to map it to virtual\_endstop. I recommend you ask for help here:
> **[Developers](https://klipper.discourse.group/c/developers/7)**

If you want a hardware solution, I’d start by using a continuity tester from pin 26 on the driver chip to the MCU pins. It is possible there is an (undocumented) trace on the board.
It would be feasible to solder a wire to pin 26 on the driver and plug the other end into the appropriate limit switch creating your own “jumper”

Not been here is a while, thanks for the post. Some good info in there, I was using the board on another printer for a while which worked well enough but I eventually got annoyed with various changes from the norm Sovol insist on so scrapped the project for something more normal.
