??? info "GC6609 stepper drivers being used as well!"

It seems that Anycubic changed the stepper drivers from original TMC2208 to cheap 2208/2209 clones, called "GC6609".
This is how they look (you'd need to take off the heatsink to identify which specific type was being used at your mainboard):
When exactly this change took place and whether it's a permanent solution or if only a certain batch of these mainboards have been populated with these kind of stepper drivers is unknown.
However, the following picture shows this stepper driver (you'd have to take off the heatsink to identify which specific type was being used at your mainboard - which I wouldn't recommend to do if you're just curious to know which one you have..).

I personally don't know anything about these dirvers, but @aspiringnobody shared his knowledge and findings in [this discussion](https://github.com/1coderookie/KobraGoNeoInsights/discussions/13). If you know anything more, please reach out and contribute to the discussion!

Thanks again to @aspiringnobody who came across this and reported it!
