BIGTREETECH 1. Product Introduction TMC5160 is a high-power stepper motor drive control chip, with an external MOSFET, its maximum voltage can reach 48V, thus the supported stepper motor range is wider, and the adaptability is higher. 1.1 Product Features 1. With the external MOSFET, it can support higher voltage and larger current, and the maximum current can reach 8A (because the module is limited by size and connector, the current cannot exceed 3A);...
BIGTREETECH Interface Introduction 2.1 Installation Method and Interface The direction of installing the EZ version driver to the new header is shown in the image below: Function Function (EN) Enable (VM) Motor Supply Voltage (SDI/CFG1) Data (GND) GND (SCK/CFG2) Clock...
BIGTREETECH 3. Firmware Settings 3.1 Marlin Firmware Settings Note*: Currently only the firmware of Marlin 2.0 and later supports the SPI mode of TMC5160. Step 1: Find and open the "Configuration.h" file in the Marlin 2.0 firmware, then find "#define MOTHERBOARD XXXXXX", "XXXXX" represents the model of the board used.

BIGTREETECH Step 5: In the "Configuration_adv.h" file, find "#define X_CURRENT", "#define X_MICROSTEPS", "#define X_RSENSE" and modify the following parameters, (all axes used need to be modified) the RSENSE of the axes used should be modified as "0.075". 10 / 13...

BIGTREETECH After the modification of Step 5, find and open "Configuration.h" and then Step 6: find "#define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT" and modify the following parameters to set the subdivision, the subdivision of this part must correspond to that of Step 5. 11 / 13...

BIGTREETECH Subdivision Calculation Method: "80, 80, 400, 96" means 16 subdivision, if modified to 32 subdivision, that will be "80*(32/16), 80*(32/16) , 400*(32/16) , 96*(32/16) ". The sampling resistance used in this product is 0.075R, so the effective value of the driving current of this product is 3A.
