Fake microstepping in A4899 and LV8729 stepper-drivers?

I built a test jig to experiment with a friend's 16-pin A4988 stepper driver, and even added bi-directional LEDs to the outputs and, regular LEDs to the inputs, to see if it behaved as expected. By default, it does a full circle in 200 steps, and…

Missing steps while rotating stepper motor with gear 20:1 and driver tmc5160

as per the title I'm using Nema23 stepper motor and 20:1 gear and tmc5126 stepper driver. 1) I'm providing 3amp of current to motor and 4096 of microstepping. 2) Motor was working on same configuration with RHINO 1101 external driver but not working…

Stepper: Distribution of Microsteps within a full step

I am currently working on a project to precisely move a XY-table using stepper motors in microstepping mode. The goal is to reach 1/16 microstepping and there is an encoder with 4000 pulses per resolution to account for missed steps. In full-step…

Stepper Motor current rating and microstepping

I am working with stepper for first time and want some suggestions. Motor runs smooth but the problem is it gets hot after a few seconds. reason may be that i am giving it a bit higher than the rated current. I am planning to limit current to 0.31…

How to turn 28BYJ-48 stepper motor to specific angle without rotary encoder

I am using an FPGA with a stepper motor (and ULN 2003 driver board) and have not been able to make it go to a specific angle. I am using verilog so Arduino examples such as this cannot be used but this is precisely what I want. What I have tried…

TB6600 Overstepping

I've got a TB6600 stepper motor driver connected via a common cathode connection to an Arduino (Elegoo) Nano microcontroller (1/32 microsteps, 1.5A, unknown NEMA 17). I'm asking it to move a number of steps, but every so often it will move way too…

Torque half step/full step in stepper motor

At an exam, I was asked the following question: A stepper motor has the greatest torque on its shaft in the 'halfstep/full step'. Everywhere on the internet it says that full step gives the most torque. This was also the answer I indicated. I have…

How to manipulate timer registers of Arduino Uno?

I already asked about How to achieve high speed microstepping? I even used Arduino Due to achieve high speed. Practically there was no difference compared to Uno but by changing baud rate I could see a huge change. Apparently the right answer to…

How to achieve high speed microstepping?

I used an Arduino Uno with A4988 driver with 1/16 microstepping and tried to achive the highest speed possible. Using AccelStepper library stepperX.setMaxSpeed(desiredspeed); the speed was not satisfying. I got smoother and also slower result with…
