Adjust the phase current, crank up the microstepping, and forget about it — that’s what most people want out of a stepper motor driver IC. Although they power most of our CNC machines and 3D printers, ...
Most 3D printers use stepper motors to control the movement of the extruder head. If you could actually print those motors it would be one more big step toward self-replicating hardware. Now obviously ...
TMC2209 is a stepper motor driver chip from German firm Trinamic that I suspect folk interested in the insides of 3D printers will be hearing a lot more about in the near future. In many printers, the ...
