3. Interface Introduction
3.1 USB Powered
After the SKR 3 EZ V1.0 motherboard is powered on, the red light of D7 (Power)
in the upper right corner of the MCU will light up, indicating that the power supply
is normal. The VUSB in the middle of the board is the power selection terminal.
Only when using USB to supply power to the motherboard or need to supply
power through USB, you need to use the jumper to make the VUSB short circuit.

3.2 Motor Voltage Selection

3.2.1 Motherboard Power Voltage for Motor Voltage Selection

3.2.2 Motor Supply Voltage for Motor Voltage Selection

3.3 Step Motor Drivers

3.3.1 TMC-driven Mode
The number of subdivisions needs to be set high or low by firmware to the
corresponding subdivision configuration pins.

12 / 42
 BIGTREETECH

3.3.2 TMC/EZ-driven UART/SPI Mode

TMC series drivers do not support the use of both UART and SPI drivers at the
same time, for example: X, Y-axis use TMC/EZ2209 (UART), Z, E0 axis use
TMC/EZ5160 (SPI).
The EZ series drivers support the simultaneous use of both UART and SPI
drivers.

3.3.3 TMC-driven DIAG mode(Sensorless Homing)

As shown in the pictures, plug the jumper cap when using the Sensorless
Homing function, and leave it unplugged when not in use. There is no need to cut
the DIAG pin of the driver.

3.4 USB and CAN Mode

As shown in the figure below, the double-pole double-throw switch is in USB
mode when it is in the pop-up state, and in CAN FD mode when it is in the
pressed state.

3.5 Voltage selection for NC fans

If DCIN is used as the power supply of the numerical control fan, a jumper cap
should be used to short-circuit the two pins within the VIN range. If you want to
use 12V or 5V as the NC fan power supply, you need to make a jumper cap short-
circuit two pins within the VOT range, and insert the SKR 3-DC MODE into the
2*4Pin VOT and VIN headers.

Set the VOT output voltage to 5V or 12V by setting the jumper cap on the SKR 3-
DC MODE.

3.6 100K NTC or PT1000 Setup

When using a 100K NTC thermistor, no need to insert a jumper cap. At this time,
the pull-up resistors of TH0 and TH1 are 4.7K. When using PT1000, you need to
use jump caps to short-circuit the two pins in the red box in the picture below. At
this time, the pull-up resistors of TH0 and TH1 are 2.2K (Note: the temperature
accuracy read out in this way will be much worse than that of MAX31865).

#define SENSORLESS_HOMING //Turn on drive stall detection as a function of

the Home limit switch.
#define xx_STALL_SENSITIVITY 8 // Set the sensitivity of stall detection. The
range of TMC2209 is 0~255. The larger the value, the more sensitive it is, and it
is easy to trigger falsely. When the phenomenon is Home, the axis stops before
returning to the origin. The smaller the value, the less sensitive it is, and the
easier it is not to trigger. Make a "Deng Deng Deng" sound. Other driving ranges
are 63~-64, the smaller the value, the more sensitive. #define
IMPROVE_HOMING_RELIABILITY // Set the current parameter

If you want to use BL Touch as the Z-axis limit switch, you don't need to change
the connection just need to modify the firmware settings.

#define USE_PROBE_FOR_Z_HOMING // Use Z Probe(BL Touch) as Z-axis

Home Limit
Switch

#define Z_SAFE_HOMING //When the Z-axis is Home, move X and Y to the

specified coordinates (usually the center of the platform) to ensure that when the
Z-axis is Home, the probe of the Z Probe (BL Touch) is within the scope of the
platform.

4.3.8 Completed Shutdown Module (Relay V1.2)

#define PSU_CONTROL // Turn on the control power function, you can turn on
through the M80 and turn off through the M81
#define PSU_ACTIVE_STATE HIGH // Set up the power-on level. The Relay V1.2
module is powered on at a high level and powered off at a low level, so it needs to
be set to HIGH

4.3.9 Resume Printing

There are currently two ways to realize the resume printing:
1.No external module is required, the firmware regularly saves the printing status
to the SD card, and continues to print from the point saved in the SD card after a
power failure and restart. The disadvantage of this method is that data is
frequently written to the SD card, which greatly affects the SD card lifespan.

#define POWER_LOSS_RECOVERY // Enable resume printing function

#define PLR_ENABLED_DEFAULT true // true default to use open resume
printing
2.The external module UPS 24V V1.0 provides power and sends a signal to the
mainboard when it is power-off, reminding the mainboard to save the printing
27 / 42
 BIGTREETECH

state. This method only writes data to the SD card when the power is off, and has
little effect on the lifespan of the SD card .

#define POWER_LOSS_RECOVERY // Enable resume printing function

#define PLR_ENABLED_DEFAULT true // true default to use open resume
printing
#define POWER_LOSS_ZRAISE 10 // When the power is off, the nozzle is
raised by 10mm to prevent the nozzle from scalding the model
#define POWER_LOSS_STATE HIGH // When the UPS 24V V1.0 is working
normally, the module feedback a low level, and when the power is off, the
feedback is a high level, so it is set to HIGH

4.3.10 RGB Light

#define NEOPIXEL_LED // Enable Neopixel function

#define NEOPIXEL_TYPE NEO_GRB // Set up the type of lights
//#define NEOPIXEL_PIN 4 // Mask the PIN setting, use the correct signal line in
the motherboard pin file
#define NEOPIXEL_PIXELS 30 // Quantity of lights
28 / 42
 BIGTREETECH

#define NEOPIXEL_STARTUP_TEST // When the machine is turned on, it will

display three colors of red, green and blue in sequence, which is convenient for
testing.

If you enable LCD2004, 12864, mini12864 and other monitors, you can also
enable the RGB control menu on the interface

#define LED_CONTROL_MENU // Add a menu to control the LED color on the

screen

4.3.11 Filament Break Detection

Ordinary material break detection module is generally designed by a mechanical
switch, the module gives the motherboard a constant high and low level to
represent the state of filaments.

#define FILAMENT_RUNOUT_SENSOR // Enable filament detection function

#define FIL_RUNOUT_ENABLED_DEFAULT true // true is on by default
#define NUM_RUNOUT_SENSORS 1 // Quantity of filaments detection sensors
#define FIL_RUNOUT_STATE LOW // The level state when the filaments are
abnormal, set up according to the actual situation of the module. If the module
sends a low level when the consumables are abnormal, set it to LOW.

29 / 42
 BIGTREETECH

4.3.12 Smart Filament Sensor(SFS V1.0)

The Smart Filament Sensor will continuously send a jumping level signal when
the filaments pass normally. When abnormal conditions such as material
blockage/disconnection occur, the filaments cannot pass through the SFS
normally, and the module cannot send a jumping signal to the mainboard, which
thus knows that the filaments are abnormal.

#define FILAMENT_MOTION_SENSOR // Set filament sensor to encoder type

#define FILAMENT_RUNOUT_DISTANCE_MM 7 // Set up the detection
sensitivity. The recommended setting for SFS V1.0 is 7mm. If there is no level
jump within 7mm of the filaments, it means that the filaments are abnormal.
Filaments detection also needs to set up the action after the abnormal
suspension of the filaments through the following two places.

#define NOZZLE_PARK_FEATURE // Nozzle Pause Function

#define NOZZLE_PARK_POINT { (X_MIN_POS + 10), (Y_MAX_POS - 10), 20 }
//Set the X, Y coordinates and the height of the Z axis when the nozzle is paused

30 / 42
 BIGTREETECH

#define ADVANCED_PAUSE_FEATURE // You can set parameters such as the

length and speed of filament retraction during pause, and the length and speed of
filament extrusion after continuing to print.

4.3.13 ESP3D
Just set the correct "SERIAL_PORT" and "BAUDRATE" in Marlin. The serial port
for communication between ESP8266 and Marlin on the motherboard is UART3,
so set SERIAL_PORT to 3.

You can get the latest ESP3D firmware at https://github.com/luc-github/ESP3D,

compile your own binary, rename it to "esp3d.bin" and copy it to the root directory

Micro SD card update
1. Make sure the Micro SD card has been formatted as FAT32 file system.
2. Rename the firmware compiled by yourself or downloaded from GitHub to
"firmware.bin" (note: clarify the extension settings of the computer system, some
users hide the extension, "firmware.bin" actually shows "firmware" )
3. Copy "firmware.bin" to the root directory of the Micro SD card.
4. Insert the Micro SD card into the card slot of the motherboard, power on the
motherboard again, and the motherboard's bootloader will automatically update
the firmware.
5. During the firmware update process, the status indicator on the upper right
corner of the motherboard will start to flash.
6. When the status indicator stops flashing and the file name in the Micro SD card
is renamed to "FIRMWARE.CUR", it means the firmware update is successful.

7. Cautions
1. When the PT1000 is not used, the jumper cap cannot be inserted on it,
otherwise the 100K NTC cannot be used normally.
2. The current of the hotbed connected to the mainboard must be less than or
equal to 10A. If you want to use a high-power hotbed, it is recommended to
choose a hotbed powered by 24V, and use 24V to power the mainboard.
3. Pay attention to the power supply selection of the NC fan, the jump cap must
be set, so that the fan can work normally.
4. Pay attention to the setting of the USB port switch. When there is no response
when plugged into the computer, make sure that the double-pole double-throw
switch is in the USB mode of the pop-up state.
5. The mainboard adopts a non-elastic card slot, and the stroke is much less than
that of the self-elastic card slot. When the user inserts the card, the action must
be light and slow. Do not insert the card vigorously, and the damage caused will
not be accepted by our company.
