How to Use TMC2209

TMC2209 uses StealthChop2 technology and other special features to operate the motor silently and effectively.

 TMC2209 circuit.png

As shown in the above diagram, the DIR, STEP pins of the module are connected with Microcontroller. The STEP pin is used to control the steps while the DIR pin is used to control direction. TMC2209 has StealthChop2 technology that ensures the noiseless operation, maximum efficiency, and best motor torque. TMC2209 has 9 step resolution from 1to 1/256 steps. You can change the step resolution using the micro-step pins (MS1 & MS2). By setting appropriate logic levels to these pins we can set the motors to one of the nine-step resolutions. TMC2209 is commonly used in controlling the NEMA series stepper motors like NEMA17, NEMA23, NEMA34.   


TMC2209 vs. TMC2208

Max Current Output – On average the TMC2208 drivers are rated up to 1.5A (2.0A Peak) continuous motor output. The TMC2209 is rated up to 2.0A (2.8A Peak). The Creality printers (and most other consumer machines) will barely ever pass 1.0A of output needed for the stock motors
