This repository contains wiring diagrams, specification sheets, any documentation I use to complete my Voron 2.4 build. I also am including aesthetic designs for QUEEN's back panel and side panels.
I wanted to post an Excel spreadsheet for sourcing all my "sub-kits" or individual items for my Voron 2.4, but I need to remove it from a bigger spreadsheet I have been using to keep track of a lot of different information. After I get done with the electronics case wiring diagram, I will work on providing an Excel spreadsheet as a sourcing guide for my Voron 2.4.

I know a lot of you already know the answer but for the rest of us that are still learning about bipolar stepper motors and stepper drivers I will describe the process I used. I never realized that the motors I own are **bipolar-series motors**.
To me when things are connected in series the wires are daisy-chained together (positive lead1, negative lead1 is connected to positive lead2, negative lead2).
When things are wired in parallel then the positive leads are connected together and the negative leads are connected together.
So I thought the 3D printer motors where connected together in parallel on the 3D printer, which they are. If you look at the **system in a "macro" view** not a "micro" view.
So, 48VDC * 4 Amp = 192 Watts or 200 Watts PSU (if the PSU supplies the full power without an aluminum plate for heat dissipation [PSU's Derating Curve]).
If you are having a hard time finding UHP-xxx series of power supplies, there are two names for these UHP supplies. One name is UHP-350-24, UHP-350-48 and so on. While the other name is UHP-350R-24, UHP-350R-48 and so on. The extra "R" in the model number just indicates that you have the option of wiring 2 power supplies in parallel. The "R" version will work if you can not find the regular version to buy.

Since I plan on LEDS; running a Raspberry Pi 4B with a solid state disk drive (via USB 3.1 interface instead of using a Micro-SD card); and a camera, I want to have enough power to add extras to the Voron Build.
I will use the Octopus Pro to power the stepper motor drivers, heater cartridge, temperature sensors, limit switches, and generate signals on PINs to control stuff, but I do not plan on powering stuff off the Octopus Pro board that is considered optional equipment like LEDs, and endoscope or cameras. Since my Raspberry Pi (running Klipper) is the brains of this setup, I will be using a solid state drive to act as the disk drive for the Raspberry Pi. This adds additional current draw and the Raspberry Pi will have its own 5V PSU.
All my LEDS are 12VDC or 24VDC. So that is why I am running a separate 12VDC PSU and added additional current capability to my 24VDC supply.
I plan on running all TMC5160 (HV) PRO stepper motor drivers for all my motors on QUEEN.
I know this is an overkill but if I want the power it will be there. I am lazy, and I do not want to redo wiring at a later date.
I am hoping I can fit all of this in my electronics case for a 250 mm build. But the UHP power supplies are 1/2 the width of LRS-series PSUs. I can fit the UHP-500-48 and UHP-500-24 in the same footprint as the LRS-200-24 PSU that is specified in the BOM.
If I do not have enough room in the electronics case then I can take out the 12VDC supply and use small buck convertors (24VDC to 12VDC) to manage my devices that are on 12VDC.

To download the spreadsheet, just click on the file named ["motor_torque_sim_v7_database.xlsm"](https://github.com/eddietheengineer/documentation/blob/master/stepper_motor/data/motor_torque_sim_v7_database.xlsm) and hit the download button.
Once the Excel spreadsheet "motor_torque_sim_v7_database.xlsm" has downloaded, open it up in Excel but remember to "Enable" editing. If you do not enable editing you will not be able to see the "torque curve" graph. Also, the motors that are graphed can be chosen from a dropdown list. The voltage you run the stepper motors at can also be entered as can the current level.
As you will see when you go from 24V to 48V you can move faster. Also notice that when you go from 48V to 60V the gain is smaller than the jump from 24V to 48V!
Here is the Torque Curve for the specified stepper motors at 24 VDC:

Here is the Torque Curve for the same specified stepper motors at 48 VDC:

Here is the Torque Curve for the same specified stepper motors at 60 VDC:

As you can see when you go from 24V to 48V you can move faster. Also notice that when you go from 48V to 60V the gain is smaller than the jump from 24V to 48V!
This repository also has information on how to wire up an Octopus V1.0/V1.1 board for a Voron Build and is located at https://github.com/bigtreetech/BIGTREETECH-OCTOPUS-V1.0/tree/master/Octopus%20works%20on%20Voron%20v2.4/Firmware
## Klipper firmware supports the Octopus Pro V1.0 board:
Here is the link to the config file on GitHub for the Octopus pro V1.0 board https://github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/blob/master/config/generic-bigtreetech-octopus.cfg.
If you are using the "PROBE" connector for a proximity sensor you will need to add a [probe] section to the "generic-bigtreetech-octopus.cfg" file and ensure that the sensor_pin: PC5
There is only two PINs that are different between the Octopus V1.1 pin-out and the Octopus Pro V1.0 pin-out. The Octopus V1.1 pin-out has PC5 on the EXP2 connector but on the Octopus Pro V1.0 this pin on the EXP2 connector is now "Not Connected (NC)".
The second PIN difference is that on the Octopus V1.1 pin-out PB7 is the signal PIN used on the PROBE/SENSOR connector and on the BLTouch header but on the Octopus Pro V1.0 the signal pin on the PROBE connector is PC5. Which means that on the Octopus V1.1 board you can only use either a BLTouch or a Proximity Sensor but NOT both. On the Octopus Pro V1.0 since the signal pins for the PROBE connector is different from the BLTouch, if you wanted to, you could use both ports.
If you plan to use a voltage higher than 24V on MOTOR_POWER_IN then please pay attention to the following footnotes on the "Color PIN Diagram": 1.
You may need to change the Fuse on the MB_POWER_IN, calculate the maximum amps you will be using (the four heaters {HE0-HE3}, 3.3VDC rail, 5VDC rail, and 12VDC rail all produced from the 24VDC rail). The maximum amps for 3.3VDC rail is 1 Amp. The maximum amps for the 5VDC rail is 8 Amps. The maximum amps for 12VDC rail is 4 Amps. So the total maximum amps for 3.3VDC rail + 5VDC rail + 12VDC rail is equal to 13 Amps, but the amps needed to run the four heaters needs to be added to this value. Since BIGTREETECH supplies us with a 20 Amp fuse, then BIGTREETECH is saying that you have 7 more Amps available for all four heater ports or 1.75 Amps / heater cartridge. Just do not use more than 7 Amps on any combination of the four heater {HE0-HE3} ports!
Please use the "Color PIN Diagram" in [BTT_Octopus_Pro_V1.0_Color_PIN_Diagram](https://github.com/GadgetAngel/BTT_Octopus_Color_PIN_Diagram/tree/main/BTT_Octopus_Pro_V1.0_Color_PIN_Diagram) to obtain the correct PIN assignments.
If you decide to flash a new bootloader to the Octopus Pro V1.0 board (you should not need to because you can upload the new Klipper firmware using the micro-SD card reader) and find that the micro-SD card bootloader no longer works you will want to return the board to its shipment state by finding the original bootloader and "bootlaoder+firmware" files at https://github.com/GadgetAngel/BTT_SKR_13_14_14T_SD-DFU-Bootloader/tree/main/bootloader_bin/backed_up_original_bootloaders
