Klipper TMC2209 Sensorless Homing Issue on Z-Axis

This repository serves as a central point for troubleshooting sensorless homing issues on the Z-axis using TMC2209 stepper drivers in a Klipper firmware setup. The configuration for the X and Y axes works as expected, but the Z-axis encounters persistent false triggering during the retract phase of homing, despite various tuning efforts.

Problem Overview

• Endstop error: The Z-axis shows "Endstop Z still triggered after retract."
• TMC2209 driver_SGTHRS sensitivity tuning: Adjusted between 10 to 300 but still encountering issues.
• Wiring and diag_pin configuration: Potential issues with diag_pin configuration.
