Note - There is currently an issue that users have been having in regards to the BTT Eddy and the devices Drive Current. On initial calibration the Eddy prefers to calibrate this Current lower than seams to be required for proper operation. Generally this drive current will set itself to 15/16. Some users have reported having to manually set this value to as high as 18 for the Eddy to operate properly. This setting can be found in the printer.cfg in the SAVE_CONFIG section. manually changing this value to a higher value has improved operation for users. Most users are recommending a value of 18. Once this value has changed, you'll want to redo the calibration steps starting at Step 4 in the CALIBRATE_BTTEDDY macro.
