I need to think... Question asked and answered views welcome...

Hi All, Got a bit of an issue, I need to test some stepper motors (well one at a time) these steppers once installed calibrate themselves by winding a lead screw until it closes a switch and then it has a known amount of time. Issue is I am trying to test the boards with there dynamic development board(?). Issue is I can't see any inputs on the control board. The dang thing is a Trinamic board I have gone over and found an Arduino method (!) for a different load cell but...

did you Google any of this? Not sure if this helps, probably not, but its a start perhaps? EZTip #4 - Testing and Checking your Stepper Motors - YouTube[^] https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=trinamic+stepper+motor+driver[^]

Didn't they (Trinamic) provide any documentation?
"In testa che avete, Signor di Ceprano?" -- Rigoletto
There are docs appearing to be for other boards, I did try an Arduino Mega after swapping the jumper on the TMC-2209 using the TCM-5370 board. What made it slightly worse I have asked two question on there Q&AB page but both seem to disappeared.

Ahh yes the 2208 not the 2209, mutter,mutter

One step at a time? (Sorry, couldn't resist!)

Can't you influentiate the process of calibration? I changed some back then to drive until the switch was reached, and then moved back really slow until it left the switch again. This way you get a pretty repeteable position as referenced point. But I do suppose this would not bring you any help in the other issue with the board, sorry.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Worth a try, the problem is people do the cool bits & leave the boring bits out. The issue is the widget is thrown over the wall and is 'your problem now' with no documentation other than do this do that (the problem is when the do this do that doesn't work) :( ...

Until last year was like changing Pest for Cholera... New boss of my boss came in 3 weeks before my return of parental leave, I kind of got a good connection with him and since I he named me (and a colleague) System Architect it has been a really good time. Way more busy than before, but I have recover the fun and the interest on what I have to do
