BIGTREETECH TMC2209 V1.3 UART Stepper Motor Driver 2.8A Peak Stepstick Silent Driver for Manta M8P, Octopus V1.1, Octopus Pro, SKR 3, SKR V1.4 Turbo, SKR Pro V1.2 3D Printer Control Board (2 PCS)

Works great

Works great! I am using these for the XY motion system on (2) Octopus Pro and (1) Manta M8P V2. They work great. I just use the 2209’s for Z because I don’t see the need for 5160’s on Z.

Outside of the 5500 series these are the best at what they do, extremely quiet drivers with all the features you’d want making nighttime printing noise a thing of the past.

I bought these drivers to control a 12v bipolar Nema17 stepper. When I used the 1st one in standalone mode I wasn’t able to make the motor move. The motor shaft was hard to move with the fingers when power was on but never moved. Then I used the 2nd one with the same result. I tried everything possible, including UART and nothing. Finally, I decided to get a couple new controllers from the same brand and model and worked at the first try. So it seems to be the 1st ones (both of them) came with manufacturing issues and I ended up losing several hours of troubleshooting.

Switching to TMC2209 drivers from the older DRV8825s significantly reduced the noise in my projects. These drivers operate so quietly, it's a noticeable improvement for anyone aiming to minimize sound. I installed the TMC2209s on a DRV8825 shield/expansion board that I found on Amazon, and they fit well. There are a couple of extra pins that don't connect to anything, but they're not needed for the driver to work effectively. One thing to keep in mind is the microstepping capability of the TMC2209s, which goes down to 1/8th. This might result in slower movement compared to some other drivers, but the reduction in noise and smooth operation more than compensates for the slight dip in speed.

These worked perfectly fine on a BTT Octopus 1.1 for the X/Y steppers.... after a lot of research on configuration. It seems that these use an SPI interface instead of UART. This means that the hardware jumpers must be set to correct positions and also the firmware must be properly configured. This configuration is not well documented, so, happy hunting and good luck!

If you're working with a microcontroller and not a prebuilt board, be sure your logic voltage and your motor voltage are going to the right pin. The datasheet is correct, I got a module with a poorly labeled pin. Always check the datasheet.

One of these went up in smoke right out the packaging. Besides that, the other ones been holding up great.

Funktioniert nicht. Kann ich leider nicht mehr zurück geben, da die Frist überschritten ist.

Ottimo acquisto molto silenziosi e non riscaldano. Comprati per sostituire i 2208 . Li ho configurati nel firmware marlin 2.5. Non è stato facile ma ora funzionano ottimamente. Grazie
