SilentStepStick TMC2130 V2

The SilentStepStick TMC2130 V2 from Watterott is a stepper motor driver with the Trinamic TMC2130 in the format of the StepStick and Pololu A4988 drivers. It drives a two-phase stepper motor very quietly and divides each full step into up to 256 microsteps. It is configured via SPI or, in standalone mode, via the CFG pins.

The driver fits carrier boards such as the RAMPS 1.4 or the Arduino CNC Shield, which are used in 3D printers and small CNC mills. For the full current of 1.2 A RMS a heat sink and a fan are required, the heat sink is not included.

Recommended Accessories:

Features:

Trinamic TMC2130, Step/Dir input with up to 256 microsteps (microPlyer interpolation)
Configuration via SPI or via the CFG pins (standalone, SPI jumper closed)
stealthChop for very quiet operation, spreadCycle for high dynamics
coolStep adapts the current to the load, dcStep controls the speed depending on the load
stallGuard2 detects the motor load without a sensor, for example for homing without end stops
Automatic current reduction at standstill
Hardware compatible with StepStick and Pololu A4988
Cooling according to Watterott: small heat sink on the top side up to 850 mA RMS, above that heat sink and fan

Application Examples:

Driving the X, Y and Z axes and the extruder in 3D printers
Small CNC mills with RAMPS 1.4 or CNC Shield
Stepper motor projects with Arduino
