Motor Driver TMC260 Shield For Stepper Motors
DFRobot introduced this stepper motor driver for projects requiring powerful stepper motors, such as automatic curtains or an XY Plotter. It's Arduino compatible and capable of driving stepper motors up to 2A per motor coil, with a maximum voltage of 40V. The driver utilizes the TMC260 chip, which offers energy-efficient microstepping for bipolar stepper motors and features like stall detection, load-dependent current control, and high-speed operation. It supports both Step & Direction signals and serial SPI™ interface. Features like microPlyer™ for smooth operation and spreadCycle™ PWM for performance ensure reliability and ruggedness.
