        <title>TB6560 with arduino?</title>
        <description> Hello, i have just one simple question:)

i have cnc machine for 5-6 years emc driven (actually it was fun to make it, i dont mill anything at home because i have mills, laser cutters etc on job haha)

now i have plan to make delta reprap, with standalone arduino, so...can i use steppers, drivers, powersupply with any arduino board?

steppers are nema 23 i dont remember how strong, have 4 tb6560 controllers and 36V10A powersupply.

anyone?</description>

btw drivers need 24V power supply, they appear to have shorter response time at higher voltage, people have missed steps at 12V ...]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ new equipment arrived :)<br />
<br />
so initial tests with ramps 1.4, tb6560 and for now 12Vpower supply at 2A, everything is working good out of the box :) tried it at 8 microsteps, working good.<br />
<br />
ordered and waiting 24v 15A power supply(should arrive soon) that slould be enough for 3 amps per motor :)<br />
<br />
so i have 500W pc ps for bed and nozzle heater, and for motors only 360W, just ordered relay triggered with 5V, holding 220v10A so i can turn motor supply on/off with pc supply, wich i turn on via ramps and ps_on :)<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ I've had a great deal of issues with TB6560 and missed steps, with Sprinter/Marlin firmware on Arduino. In the first build I used NEMA23 motors, so the polulo's weren't quite powerfull enough, so I bought a 25€ 3-axis TB6560 driver board of eBay and wired XYZ to this.<br />
<br />
The problem with this was that Sprinter and Marlin toggles the step pin for only 1-5uS, and the TB6560 wants something around &gt;60uS, if I remember correctly. The simple (but dirty) solution was to just add a delay, in the stepper routine, but that broke serial communication at higher speeds, since it blocks the serial interrupt.<br />
<br />
So I ended up hacking the interrupt routine to set the step pin, then prime another interrupt to reset it.<br />
<br />
It limits the max step frequency to 10000, and doesn't work with CoreXY enabled. It isn't submitted anywhere, due to the coding standard, but if you run into problems I can post it here. And if it is actually usefull for anyone other than me, I might consider cleaning it up and submit it.<br />
<br />
Alternatively it is possible that you can use another firmware..]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ You must change something in firmware, something like the enabled motors, that is inverse of pololu and the capacitor of internal clock of tb6560, tb6560 can lost some steps with a wrong capacitor. For example, some designs come with 330pf, others with 100pf, if you loose steps, change the capacitor, or firmware. <br />
<br />
A example of change is the motor enabled pin, in Repetier I do:<br />
<br />
#define EXT0_ENABLE_ON 1<br />
#define X_ENABLE_ON 1 <br />
#define Y_ENABLE_ON 1 <br />
#define Z_ENABLE_ON 1]]></description>
