Driving TMCM-1290 from TMCL-IDE

Category: Software
Product Number: TMCM-1290

We have experimented with TMC2226 and TMC5160 Eval boards with the TMCL-IDE and both are working correctly as required using the USB interface.

We now have the TMCM1290 Eval accessed over RS485. We detect the correct board in the IDE and read back the supply voltage correctly, but can not drive the motor (we have tried a couple of ones which are working with the 5160/2226). 
The IDE values for Max speed and acceleration are set and the Velocity & Position profile show movement, but the motor does nothing. It only registers about 0.08A so is not even applying a holding current. With the TMCM1290 are there more registers that need to be set up that the IDE is not doing? Setting up max / min current and max speed / acceleration values was all that was needed with the 5160 boards?
