What happens when you want a Makerbot to actually work?

Sorry about the long delay, I am still waiting on the 300x200 heated bed as well as the Taurino Power I need. I designed an SPI breakout PCB for the drivers and to my surprise everything works now! The motors are now running and I am ready to do some advanced firmware testing as well as some air prints.

If anyone has any knowledge on how to get a TMC2130 to act as a Z_max endstop just like on a Voron/Ultimaker setup, please let me know. I don't want to have to deal with rigging any endstops up for this project, just due to the fact that they are nonexistent.

Thank you to all the project followers! Some special people have made my life so much easier, and might get some progress on actually reverse engineering some MakerBot electronics. Stay tuned...
