Additive Manufacturing in Space
To reduce the cost of space missions, team AIMIS-FYT decided to build a 3D printer for zero-gravity environments. The result is a cartesian-style 3D printer that prints and cures resin.

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 […]

Driving a linear stage with the TMC4671 – Firmware Adaptation
In our last blog post, we were able to determine stable P-I-parameters for our cascaded controller loop. With that knowledge in mind I want to show you how I created a small example program which I will include in the firmware of the Landungsbrücke. What this code basically does is initializing the TMC4671 for stepper motor control. This is done in init_Basics(…) by writing several […]

Driving a Linear Stage With the TMC4671 – Controller Tuning
Welcome back to my blog post series! I previously described how I set everything up in the post: Driving a Linear Stage With the TMC4671 – Setup. Today I will show you how I tuned my controller gains for torque/flux-, velocity- and position-mode. In order to do this, I use the USB-2-RTMI adapter and the […]

Driving a Linear Stage With the TMC4671 – Setup
The TMC4671 is Trinamic‘s FOC servo controller IC, capable of controlling BLDC, DC and stepper motors. In this post, I’d like to show you how to configure the TMC4671-Eval Board with our Landungsbrücke interface board to drive a linear stage. For this, I use the TMCL-IDE, Trinamic’s free and easy to use graphical user interface. […]
