TP 5160

TMC-5160​

  • Input Voltage: 12V-48V
  • Maximum Current: 4.4A
  • Applicable to: Marlin/Klipper/RRF firmware
  • Drive Mode Support: TMC: SPI
  • Stepping/direction interface with microPlyer for micro-stepping interpolation
  • Highest resolution: 256 microsteps
  • Supports stealthChop2 for quiet operation and smooth motion
  • Resonance suppression for mid-frequency resonance
  • Supports spreadCycle for high dynamic motor control chopping
  • Supports dcStep for load-dependent speed control
  • Supports stallGuard2 for high-precision sensorless motor load detection
  • Supports coolStep current control, saving up to 75%

TP5160 Reference Configuration​

dangerous
  • The driver sampling resistor is sense_resistor: 0.075. Please do not set it incorrectly.
  • Only one of spi_bus and spi_software can be selected.

Infinite Limit Usage Instructions​

Infinite Position Usage Tip
  • Infinite position usage requires occupying a limit port, normally IO1 is used for the first drive position, IO2 for the second drive position, and so on.
  • When using infinite position, please make sure not to connect anything to the corresponding limit port.
  • For some FLY motherboards, the drive ports are directly connected, please pay attention to whether DIAG is directly connected to the corresponding pin.
Infinite Limit Usage Tips
  • To use the infinite limit with TP5160, you need to connect the motherboard's DIAG jumper.
  • The original endstop_pin: needs to be masked or deleted, and add endstop_pin: tmc5160_stepper_x:virtual_endstop.
  • After configuring diag1_pin:, the limit status should be untriggered.
  • You need to test a suitable value for driver_SGT:.

# endstop_pin:PF3
endstop_pin: tmc5160_stepper_x:virtual_endstop
homing_retract_dist: 0        # Retract distance should be 0 to avoid failure in homing

[tmc5160 stepper_x]
diag1_pin: ^!
driver_SGT: 1

#   Ensure that the limit status is untriggered after configuration.
#   This pin usually uses the "^" prefix to enable internal pull-up.
#   Sensitivity is related to belt tension and needs to be adjusted manually.
#  (Make sure to set `driver_SGTHRS` to an appropriate sensitivity.)
