TMC7300 Example Script
Trinamic recently launched a new line of battery-powered motor driver chips. The TMC7300 is one of them, capable of driving 1 DC motor up to 2A, or 2 DC motors up to 2.4A (peak). In this post, I’ll show you a small example script to drive a DC motor using the TMC7300-EVAL-KIT. First, I assemble […]

Explore and tune StallGuard2 with the TMC5160-EVAL + Arduino Mega 2560 in step and direction mode
In this blog article we wire up a Arduino Mega2560 with a TMC5160-EVAL board to run in it STEP/DIR mode, use a timer to generate a fixed frequency for the STEP input. The diagnostic diag0 output pin of the TMC5160 will be used to indicate a defined load condition we want to react on. In […]

How to drive a stepper motor closed loop with your Arduino Uno using a TMC4361A-EVAL + TMC2130-EVAL
Today we will wire up a TMC4361A-EVAL + TMC2130-EVAL combination to drive a stepper motor closed loop with an Arduino Uno. The encoder used for this test has a resolution of 10.000 cpr respective a resolution of 40.000. Preparation For this tutorial the Eselsbruecke got a soldered connection between +5V_USB (pin 5) to +5V_VM (pin […]

How to drive a stepper motor with your Raspberry Pi 3/2 using a TMC5130-EVAL
In this start up guide you get explained how to connect your Raspberry Pi 3 or 2 for the basic operation of the TMC5130-EVAL board. It will use the internal Motion Controller and +3V3 logic supply for the TMC5130. The wiring will be limited to the basic functionallity to communicate via SPI. The internal CLK […]

How to drive a stepper motor with your Arduino Mega using a TMC5130-EVAL
Only a few wires including an SPI port are required to control TMC5130-EVAL with your Arduino. Here are the few steps required to get started. Preparation If your Arduino is a 5V type you have to resolder one resistor on the TMC5130-EVAL from position R3 to R8. This sets the logic level of the TMC5130 to +5V. While by default […]
