Setting up current limit in A4988 for Nema17 stepper motor
Jun 1, 2023 · How do I set the current limit in my A4988 driver for my Nema17 stepper motor? I saw a formula (Vref = Imot * 8 * Rs) that requires the current sensing resistor to get the Vref, but my driver's datasheet doesn't have the current sensing resistor value. My stepper motor has a rated current of 1.68A.
A4988 Current Limit: How to Set A4988 Driver Current Limit?
Feb 21, 2024 · Setting the A4988 current limit is crucial for ensuring optimal performance and preventing overheating of the motor and the driver itself. The A4988 allows you to adjust the A4988 current limit by manipulating the voltage on the VREF pin.
How to set your stepper driver current: A4988, DRV8825, …
Aug 22, 2022 · How to calculate the Vref A4988 On the A4988 drivers, the Vref is calculated like this: Vref = current * 8 * Rsense where Rsense is the value in Ohms of the two resistors found on the driver. These are the tiny rectangular components with text printed on them.
A4988 motor current tuning - Ardufocus
The A4988 allows you to set a target current anywhere between some mA up to a bit less than 2A, this is accomplished by adjusting what is called the Vref (Reference Voltage) when turning the pot on a clockwise direction the Vref voltage will increase and decrease when rotating it counterclockwise.
