TMC2209 Stepper Motor Driver Overview

TMC2209 SilentStepStick is a two-phase bipolar stepper motor step/direction driver with a current of up to 2.8A peak to peak and 2A RMS. It can run a 2-phase bipolar stepper motor in increments ranging from 1 to 1/256. Furthermore, the TMC2209 includes a simple UART interface that may be used to tune and control the device using any microcontroller with a UART port.

TRIAMINIC introduced the TMC2209 stepper motor driver module. The TMC2209 module features TRIAMINIC technology, which makes the driver module extremely quiet and precise. This stepper motor module includes an internal oscillator with a frequency of 12.5 MHz, a UART for serial data transfer, and high-resolution steps with a full resolution of 1/256 steps to achieve smoothness. There are nine distinct micro-step resolution options available for these steps. The device is low-power, low-cost, and dependable.

TMC2209 can be used in robotics, 3D printing, and automation projects, among other things. Pinout, schematic, features, specs, interface, and applications are all covered in this course.

Interfacing TMC2209 Stepper Driver with Microcontroller

The TMC2209 Stepper Motor Driver Module functions similarly to the A4988. The distinction is that it uses noiseless and efficient dynamic motion in the stepper motor thanks to technologies like Stealthchop2 and StallGuard. The VIO and GND pins of the module are connected to the MCU power pins, which normally range from 3 to 5 Volts. The VMOT pin is connected to a supply voltage of 4.75 – 28 Volts to suit the motor's supply requirements.

The coils of the 2-phase stepper motor would be linked to the four output motor pins. Also connected are the pins EN, STEP, and DIR. EN controls the motor outputs, whereas STEP controls the motor steps. DIR controls the motor's direction, which can be clockwise or anticlockwise, depending on its condition. The step resolution of the TMC2209 Stepper driver module can be set in nine different ways. It's made by adjusting the logic levels of the MS1 and MS2 pins to acquire the desired measurements.

To connect the module with Arduino, you must first install the TMCStepper library in the Arduino IDE. Example sketches are available in the Arduino library to help you learn and observe how to write and then code according to your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between TMC2208 and TMC2209?

 Differences between TMC2208 and TMC2209  The TMC2209 drivers have lower resistance conducting output drivers (RDSon). This provides them with less power dissipation and higher current. The new TMC2209 drivers feature CoolStep and StallGuard4, fully optimized for StealthChop2.

How do I wire A4988?

TMC2209 Wiring A4988 stepper motor driver with Arduino UNO  Connections are fairly simple. Start by connecting VDD and GND(next to VDD) to the 5V and ground pins on the Arduino. DIR and STEP input pins are connected to #2 & #3 digital output pins on Arduino respectively. connect the stepper motor to the 2B, 2A, 1A & 1B pins.

TMC2660 vs TMC2209?

TMC2660 is capable of handling increased motor current.
TMC2209 can interpolate to x256 microstepping from any input microstepping; TMC2660 can only interpolate to x16 microstepping.
TMC2209 supports stationary current reduction, which is, in my opinion, its most significant advantage over TMC2660.

What is a TMC stepper driver?

The TMC2100 provides an integrated motor driver solution for 3D-Printing, Cameras, Scanners and other automated equipment applications. The device has an integrated microstepping indexer, the completely noiseless current control mode StealthChop™ and is intended to drive a bipolar stepper motor.
