Stepper Drivers A4988 vs TMC SILENT drivers - Sound & Signals

The sound comparison between full steps and microstepping is only fair if you also increase the step speed so that the angular velocity remains the same in both cases. The speeds used here also seem very low compared to actual use in a 3d printer. Not that I in any way want to downsize the improvements brought by the TMC drivers, but you should compare things in configurations that give the same end-result, in this case angular velocity and also a load to apply comparable torque would improve the comparison.

Thanks for such amazing tutorial. I was thinking to buy this TMC driver but was in confusion. Your tutorial gave me perfect reason to buy this driver.

Another great video Andrei! The difference in sound level is quite startling. Now I'm wondering what stepper motor driver my prusa mini is using. This was a very educational video. Thank you!

[bobrowles]

I've got both drivers and my brand new Zoyi ZT-702S. I'll have to check this out! Thank you

[BayadaimOrgIl]

thanks for the tutorial.
is the process of setting the current limit is the same?

[koeiekop]

Excellent explanation! Is there a big difference between the tmc drivers?

[emilcost]

On the 4988, I depend on the reset pin to remove the FET driver current from my motor. I hold sleep pin high, and enable low. On the TMC driver, how do I accomplish this? What model of the TMC has the equivalent functionality?

Excellent content as always .. Thank You for sharing .. Cheers :)

I can't answer a basic question, in stepper motors nema 17, nema 23 or even maybe nema 34, I could use the RJ45 Network cables to make connectors providing power VCC, STEP, DIR, COILS 1A 1B 2A 2B, for example for 4 wires, but it could be 6 or 8 wires... I like network cables because the wires and connectors are well organized... my big question is whether these cables would support the voltage and current supplied to engines...

Can the MS1 and MS2 pins be controlled via software or only by connection to GND and 5V? I was working with TMC 2209 and was TOLD that such control was available on it, but later came to understand that on the TMC 2209 the MS1 and MS2 pins are used for setting up some parameter for UART control of the selection of Step type, e.g. Whole Steps, quarter steps, sixteenth steps etc. I really need to be able to control that via software and those pins directly, not through a UART connection.

Thanks good recap and What about TMC2226.

Witam. Jakim programem robisz animacje?

Hello, You mentioned in the video that the greater the step division, the greater the torque. As far as I know, the opposite is true. You get maximum motor torque with full steps, since the magnets face each other over the entire magnetization surface. The more you divide the steps, the more you weaken the contact surface, which gives less force.
Can anyone confirm this statement?

Sincerely

Thanks for making this video to show the technology. I also like to know how to to make my Nema 23 silent. Is it possible？thanks .❤

I wonder how the new Ruimeng MS35774 drivers compare to the TMC drivers (as found in new creality printers)

[haplopeart]

The TMC Drivers help some, but in practice I'be found not as much as I would like, or I should say my family would like. There is still quite a bit of sharp whine when the printer is moving. I think some of it is the belts. I've been trying to conceptualize a different movement system that doesn't use belts and might produce less noise.

[FilmFactry]

did you ever complete that optical encoder tape measure thing?

[NicksStuff]

Ok but what are the differences between all the newer drivers?

Bro crea un tutoríal de como mover un stepper motor desde una pagina web con el esp32 y que se pueda mover por hora, seria de gran ayuda

I have learned the 988s will fry your Arduino if a malfunction occurs while powered up.
