TMC2208 Motor Driver Module

This stepper motor driver module can be used separately or in combination with a CNC shield or 3D printer.

Specifications:

• Voltage range(VM): 5.5-36V
• Voltage range(VIO): 3.3-5V
• Maximum current: 1.2A per phase (continuous, with cooling), 2A peak per phase
• Works with 3.3V and 5V signals
• Current limit that can be set with the potentiometer
• Supports up to 1/256-step
• Supported configuration via CFG pins or UART
• Has StealthChop2™ technology for quieter stepper motors
• Has SpreadCycle™ technology for smoother movements
• Security built in for high temperatures, high currents, low voltage (UVLO) and short circuit
• Comes with heatsink for better cooling (cooling block can be placed on the side without components)
• Pin descriptions are visible on the top of the module

For more information see the datasheet of the TMC2208 chip. (link to datasheet is listed on the page)

Note:The motor direction is reversed with respect to the A4988 and DRV8825 based drivers. You can make changes to the software or mirror the motor pins (hardware).
