Getting started with the EVALSP820-XS evaluation board
Introduction
The
EVALSP820-XS
is an easy to use evaluation board for the STSPIN820, providing a compact solution to evaluate the
performance of the STSPIN820 stepper motor driver with minimal external equipment and without the need for extra
components.
The hardware is fully compatible with RepRAp Arduino Mega Poloulo Shield (RAMPS) or other similar Fused Filament
Fabrication (FFF) 3D Printing platforms, representing a very fast drop-in replacement of similar solutions. Contrary to most other
competitor solutions, the EVALSP820-XS helps customers to really exploit the benefits of working at high microstepping
resolution.

  • Page 4: Setting Off Time Duration

    UM2434 Setting off time duration Setting off time duration The R5 resistor sets the off time duration for the PWM current control circuitry as indicated in the figure below. Low resistance value imposes a short off time reducing the current ripple into the motor phases. The default value is 10 kΩ, corresponding to about 14 µs.
