I am not bored of questions, especially if they are asked in a proper way with details and explanation where I can really help. It is always fun to help, and it is a good way to keep my knowledge checked. I am glad to hear that I could help you! Cheers!
2 years later... and this video is an absolute gem! That little break-out board coupled with the DRV8825 is EXACTLY what I have been looking for! Are there any affordable, small form factor boards that pretty much combine the lot into a single item for low power applications? ...by small, I am thinking like the size of a quarter or a postage stamp.
Thank you very much for the feedback! I ordered some new gadgets for stepper motors today, so there will be more videos in this topic. People seem to be more interested in these things.
Hi! You are welcome! The address can be changed by varying the A0, A1, A2 jumpers on the board. I put a link for the datasheet on my website (check the description), where you can see the possible combinations (Section 8.3.3 in the datasheet).
I'm going through all your videos because they're extremely useful for a project I'm thinking about. I do have one question: I'll be driving bigger motors and silence is paramount, so I'm looking at both the TCM2209 and TCM5160. do you know if there are "expansion boards" like the ones you showed here, suitable for THOSE stepper drivers? thank you very much!
Thank you! I haven't worked with the above mentioned drivers, so I don't know. But if their pin layout is the same, they should be compatible with the expansion board.
Why is that a _simple_ solution? A rotary encoder (absolute encoder) is much easier to program and use and you don't need a 3d printer. I don't see the simplicity in having a $200-300 worth additional hardware.
Thanks for this very informative clip - I am a totally new 100% novice to this game. I have build a Photo stacking slider, and now want to automate the slide action. This clip is exactly what I have in mind - I already have most off the hardware but the coding is a very big issue for me (naturally). I have an Arduino Uno with a TB6600 stepper motor driver and a Nema17 motor. The Bourns encoder, PCF8574 board and Ole display is on its way. Is it possible to copy your sketch - get permission from you - and do some changes to accommodate the Arduino Uno Thank you very much for your clips Hannes
Hi! I am glad you found it helpful! Everything I publish here or on my website is provided for free. Furthermore, you can do anything with the code as well.
I got to say thankil for your support on that project. I know i bored you with a TON of questions, but you helped me so much, really guided! Thanks!

Thank you! Yes, this breakout board is a neat little accessory! Unfortunately, I do not know about any relevant boards.
Great demo. Can you use a adrunio uno with the motor expansion board?
Thanks! Sure, there are expansion boards that can even accommodate 3 stepper motor drivers.
Very interesting information and clearly explained, thanks.

very useful sharing. Thank you
Thank you very much! I am glad that you found it useful!
Thanks for a nice update. Are the I2C address of the PCF8574 changeable?

hi,
can the black module work with a tmc 2208 driver?
a simple solution instead of using that rotary encoder, is by using AS5600 with a 3D printed enclosure and indexing shaft.
