Stepper-Driver Settings
How Can We Help?
Jumper Tables:
TMC2208
A4988 – DRV8825
Vref settings
All settings are based on 24V input
For detailed instructions read here: Link
These numbers are approximations for 1.7Amp stepper motors. Use the link above to calculate your own Vref
These settings are for standalone drivers – uart and SPI N/A
Causion: For GND use GND on some other place than the driver – like the GND on the PSU Power-In or similar
On XY:
- A4988: 0.8-1.2 V – Not tested
- DRV8825: 0.7-0.8 V
- TMC2208: 1.1-1.3 V
On Z
- A4988: 0.4-0.5 V
- DRV8825 : 0.3-0.4 V
- TMC2208: N/A – Not tested
The reason for setting vref so low on the Z is to have a failsafe if you should crash your bed high or low as the driver will stop and hopefully you don’t crash to hard and break stuff 🙂
On E
- A4988: 0.8-1.2 V
- DRV8825 : 0.7-0.8 V
- TMC2208: N/A – Not tested
