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

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!

Ordered these as a replacement for identical drivers I had on a control board that took a voltage spike. They all worked right out of the box. Well made and fairly priced.

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.

Exactly as the title says, the SPI mode just doesn't work. I've tried them with multiple mainboards, still no connection.

I went this direction because the pro versions are a little pricey but as others stated I had one doa. I bought four because I needed four and no one offers singles so I’ll have to buy another set and can’t get my printer going until I buy another set. Can’t return because the chance of having another doa. Other then that lol the three works so far on buzzing at least

I paired these with a SKR 1.4 Turbo and a new screen that I got as a kit and now my printer is smooth and silent. I wish I had done this sooner!!

The noise difference in StealthChop mode is astonishing. I run mine completely over UART which is very handy. Also the built in step generator (VActual) is great for offloading the stepping logic from your micro controller so it can get on with more important things

With some better heat sinking and/or forced air cooling you can get far more capability out of the chip. The TMC5160 can handle 600w - 10a60v per coil natively, but there are some limitations introduced by BigTreeTech's PCB and component selection. That said, you can extend the capabilities by using external gate drive transistors to nearly anything you'd like.I will probably desolder the TMC5160 and roll my PCB from one of the online PCB services. I bought the board because all the supply houses such as mouser are out of stock on the tmc5160 drivers.I'm using it to drive 17hs24-2104s 2.1a stepperonline motors, and it works well.
