Firmware Configuration​

Important Configuration Notes
  • Sense Resistor: Must be set to sense_resistor: 0.033
  • SPI Mode: Only one of spi_bus and spi_software_* configurations can be used.

SPI Configuration Example​

[tmc5160 stepper_x]
cs_pin:                    # SPI chip select pin (required)
spi_bus:                   # SPI hardware bus (choose one between this and software SPI)
# spi_software_mosi_pin:   # Software SPI MOSI pin
# spi_software_miso_pin:   # Software SPI MISO pin
# spi_software_sclk_pin:   # Software SPI SCLK pin
run_current: 1.0           # Motor run current (unit: A)
interpolate: False         # 256 microstep interpolation (True: enable, False: disable)
sense_resistor: 0.033      # Current sense resistor value
stealthchop_threshold: 0   # Silent mode speed threshold
driver_DISS2G: 1           # Digital input state setting
driver_DISS2VS: 1          # Voltage regulation setting
Configuration Suggestions
  1. Current Setting: Set run_current reasonably based on the motor's rated current and cooling conditions.
  2. Microstep Interpolation: Enabling it provides smoother motion but increases processing overhead.
  3. Silent Mode: Setting stealthchop_threshold to 0 enables silent mode throughout operation.
  4. Cooling Consideration: Ensure good cooling conditions during high-current operation.
