TMC4671 - Why is the motor not turning?

If the motor is not turning when using the TMC4671 in your design, it could be that Enable (ENI, pin 55) is not routed. When the ENI pin is not active, you will notice that communication with the chip runs fine but you won’t see a PWM signal and the motor doesn’t turn.
