TMC2100, silent micro-stepping board for 3D printer
The TMC2100 from Trinamic is able to control bipolar stepper motor with full step and micro-stepping but the most important is the silent operations thanks to the stealthChop2 technology!
Intended to replace the A4988 step-stick on 3D printer, the TMC2100 can also be used with printer, automated systems, positionning machine, surveillance system, HAVC, distribution system, etc.
The micro-stepping allows to divide step into sub-steps (namely "MicroStep") allowing a very fine granularity in shaft positionning.
Without micro-stepping a regular stepper requires only 200 steps for a full revolution (so 1.8° per step). With the micro-stepping set to 1/8 step, the motor coils are controled to make a full revolution in 200*8 = 1600 steps (which represents an angular rotation of 0.225° per step).
This breakout can propel a bipolar stepper motor in full step, as well as micro-stepping. The pinout and interface is close to the popular A4988, so the TMC2100 can be used to replace the A4988 in many applications. The TMC2208 can be used with micro-stepping down to 1/256 of steps with motors having a voltage from 5.5 V to 46 V with a constant current of ~1.25 A per coil (2.5 A peak).
The board is fitted with current limiting potentiometer.
For first experimentation with stepper with your microcrocontroler, we do recommend to use the A4988 which support microstepping down to 1/16 step and current limiting. The A4988 is very popular and do have lot of online documentation/tutorials.
Technical details
- Compatible with the A4988 from popolu (from hardware side).
- Current limitating up to 1.25A (RMS, continuous current in coils) - 2.5A peak current
- Interface Step/Dir with microstepping interpolation (up to 256 microsteps)
- Configuration via CFG pins
- Motor voltage: 5.5 up to 46V
- Logic voltage: 3.3V
- Components placed under the PCB for improved thermal dissipation. Use it with components oriented downward.
- stealthChop2 for silent working and smooth rotation (default configuration)
- spreadCycle dynamic chopper for quick motor response and high torque
