Internet of [Moving] Things: TMC5130 + Raspberry Pi 3B+
Let’s say we’re working together in a shared office space where you can rent some desk for a certain time. For your convenience, the tables can be adjusted in height. What if the system already learned your preferred settings for standing and sitting and automatically adjusts as you wish as soon as you walk up […]

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 […]

TL-Smoothers, do they make sense?
So, after our first blog post, which you can read here, Watterott kindly pointed out to us that our post didn’t make sense, so we looked at TL-Smoothers for 3D printers again. Turns out, our explanation of TL-Smoothers doesn’t apply to TL-Smoothers, since these small boards don’t use freewheeling diodes. Instead – and to our […]
