Marlin 2.0.x bugfix: how do you define a specific driver to be used when driving a specific stepper?

Question

I'm using a TriGorilla 2560 and Marlin bugfix 2.0.x, and two stepper motors that I'm using as two Z-axes.

For some reason, both Z ports, and the E1 port are being driven by the same stepper driver:

The problem is that only one port is actually working well, meanwhile, the other ports (one Z port and E1 port) make the stepper jag as in this YouTube video.

Also, there is a driver that looks like it is not being used by anything:

So I wanted to try to assign that driver, to the E1 port (and a Z port), and see how it goes, if it does fix the issue or not, but the problem is that I have no idea on how to do that on Marlin.

Under the pins section either of TriGorilla and RAMPS, all I can find are the definitions of the ports, so I can swap port usage, but not assign a specific driver to a specific port.

If it helps, here's my Marlin zip.

Answer 1

I guess you are asking to swap drivers, this should be done on microcontroller pin level in the pins_[board_type].h file from Marlin. This has been described in e.g. this answer.

Or, do you mean:

#define Y_DRIVER_TYPE  A4988
#define Z_DRIVER_TYPE  A4988
//#define X2_DRIVER_TYPE A4988
//#define Y2_DRIVER_TYPE A4988
//#define Z2_DRIVER_TYPE A4988
//#define Z3_DRIVER_TYPE A4988
//#define Z4_DRIVER_TYPE A4988
//#define I_DRIVER_TYPE  A4988
//#define J_DRIVER_TYPE  A4988
//#define K_DRIVER_TYPE  A4988
#define E0_DRIVER_TYPE A4988
//#define E1_DRIVER_TYPE A4988
//#define E2_DRIVER_TYPE A4988
//#define E3_DRIVER_TYPE A4988
//#define E4_DRIVER_TYPE A4988
//#define E5_DRIVER_TYPE A4988
//#define E6_DRIVER_TYPE A4988
//#define E7_DRIVER_TYPE A4988

Of the configuration.h file?
