I have issues with my Y stepper motor I think I shorted the connection

What do I need to write in printer.cfg and does anybody have the correct thing I need to put in there. I have an octopus v1.1 board and I want to use 1 of the empty motor plugs..

in your user overrides section put

[stepper_y]
step_pin: PG4
dir_pin: PC1
enable_pin: !PA0

[stepper_y]
step_pin: PG4
dir_pin: PC1
enable_pin: !PA0

note that the third and forth slots from the left are connected together (motor 2_1 and motor 2_2), for duel Z axis configuration motor 3 is the 5th slot from the left

I used the tmc driver from the extruder which i think im not using because im using a toolhead board and now its working i think I fried the tmc driver ?

you might want to figure out how you did that so you don't do it again

while i was crimping i flipped the blue and red wire :S

flipping the motor wires shouldn't have fried it. Just would cause the motor to not work
