My kit came with a 400 step motor, does this require any changes to the set up files?
So on the FabScanPi Hat J7 2 and 3 should be closed and J8 2 and 3 should be closed for a 2208 to pull them to 5V.
Yes, I just tested it.
Under the driver there are three of these jumper pads, label C3, C2, and C1.
First I verified which of them are connected to MS1 and MS2. It are C1 and C2. I soldered the midpad of C1 and C2 to the 5V pad in order to force the 1/16 mode of the driver according to the documentation. First I did a scan with the 3200 value to see if there was a difference in the scan result and indeed there was, the scan was only over 180 degrees. So then I changed to the 6400 value and the result was a 360 scan.
Summarizing, if one has a 400 step motor and a TMC2208 as stepperdriver the MS1 and MS2 pins have to be connected to 5V by means of bridging the pads C1 and C2 to 5V to force the 1/16 step mode in combination with a value of 6400 in the default.config.json file.
So it is not a software bug but a hardwire bug. I think this should be mentioned in the instructions as apparently my kit came with a 400 step motor and a TMC2208 dirver instead of the 2100 that functions according specs with the pads on the Fabscanpi HAT left open.
For me this problem is solved.
Thanks to all of you, I think this was a good exercise.
I also did some modification to the camera mounting as it was not aligned with the table and I put a 3 mm thread rod between the sides of the case in order to ensure better closure of the lid. This because the right side of the case was bent causing a gap between the lid and the side.

That is good news! I will test the driver tonight and I did find out I have a TMC2208. Can you send some photos of your enclosure modification I have the same type of problem.
Thanks very much for your help.
