Tic T834 - USB 10.8V / 2A stepper motor driver - Pololu 3132

Index: PLL-10200 EAN: 5904422315146

The stepper motor driver features the TI DRV8834 driver. It is powered from 2.5 - 10.8 V, with a maximum current consumption of 2 A per coil. Maximum resolution: 1/32 of a step. The module allows up to 1.5 A of current to flow without a heat sink. The controller supports six control interfaces: USB, TTL, I2C, analog, square encoder, RC.

Product description: Tic T834 - USB stepper motor driver 10,8 V / 2 A - Pololu 3132

The chip allows you to control a stepper motor using a device that allows you to generate logic states, e.g. Arduino, STM32Discovoery, Raspberry Pi people any microcontroller. The controller can be configured, tested and monitored via USB and runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS.

The Pololu module features very simple operation. In order to rotate the motor by one step, a high state (logical one) should be given to the STEP pin, the next sequence of zero and one will move the motor by the next step and so on. The selection of the direction is done by giving the appropriate state to the DIR pin (e.g. low state - clockwise rotation, high state - anticlockwise rotation). The controller also has the ability to select the resolution of motor operation.

Connecting the driver

To control a bipolar stepper motor connect the system according to the diagram below. If the nominal motor voltage is lower than required driver supply (2.5V), set the current limit manually using the potentiometer.

The figure shows the minimum connection of the controller.

A comprehensive user guide is available from the manufacturer.

Power supply of the controller

A5V regulator is required to supply power (no external logic supply is required) tothe 5Vpin.The motor supply voltage from 2.5 V to 10.8 V is applied to the VINpin. The circuit can be used to control motors with a nominal voltage lower than the required 2.5 V. To do this, limit the maximum current draw using a potentiometer so that the motor current limit is not exceeded. For example, for a motor with a resistance of 5 Ω per coil and a current consumption of 1 A, the nominal supply voltage is 5 V. When supplied with 12 V, the current should be limited so that it does not exceed 1 A.

Caution!

Connecting and disconnecting the motor while the controller is on can damage the system.

LED diodes

There are three LEDs on the board: green, red and yellow. Green means communication via USB. The red one is connected to the ERR pin, if it lights up, it means there is an error. Yellow indicates the stepper motor status and gives some information about errors, if any. Detailed description can be found in documentation on manufacturer website.

Heat dissipation

The board was designed to dissipate heat at a current consumption of about 1,5 A per coil. If the current will be much higher you should use an external heat sink for which you can use thermally conductive glue.
