Writing Endless Lines of Code Is a Thing of the Past
What came first… technologies resulting in shorter development cycles, or the need to shorten development cycles resulting in those technologies? Of course, the question doesn’t matter as much as the ongoing result: a technological revolution “that will fundamentally alter the way we live, work, and relate to one another. In its scale, scope, and complexity, […]

Real-time Motor and Motion Control with a Raspberry Pi without a real-time OS
Single-board computer (SBC) gained more and more popularity during the last years due its opensource software and the simple hardware. With these SBC it is possible to develop quickly and easily prototype systems or even full products. The standard Linux distributions have no real-time capabilities. For many projects like a digital weather station, this is […]

Driving Stepper Motors with the new TMC5160 by using TRINAMIC’s API on a Raspberry Pi
This start-up guide explains how to connect your Raspberry Pi 3 to the TMC5160-BOB – the breakout board of the brand new TMC5160. We’ll be using the internal Motion Controller and +3V3 logic supply for the TMC5160. The wiring will be limited to the basic functionality to communicate via SPI. The usage of the TRINAMIC’s API […]
