Stealthchop

Klipper can also use Trinamic drivers in their "standalone mode". However, when stealthchop drivers are in this mode, no special Klipper configuration is needed and the stealthchop Klipper features discussed in this document are not available. In addition to this document, be sure to review the TMC driver config reference, stealthchop. A higher driver current increases positional accuracy and torque.

There is quite a lot of discussion on Discord right now, with people having problems with the wrong default setting in the repo. This has lead to many turning off Stealthchop entirely, meaning they will not benefit from near-silent - and skip free - steppers.

While we can not use sensorless homing we do have access to the stallguard functionality. If you turn on debugging for any driver you will see that while in motion you get a force reading of some sort. If you hinder the motion that number gets lower. So coolstep uses that stallguard number to dynamically turn up the stepper current and turn the current down when it is not needed. This means if it is tuned reasonably well we can use a much higher current to the steppers and not suffer from all the extra heat as it will not be turned up unless it is needed. Stealthchop can go from In Marlin you set a speed at which the driver changes from stealthchop quiet less powerful to spreadcycle loud more powerful. Coolstep can also be This should be some sort of high and low threshold at which the current turns up and down. What the heck do those numbers do? I searched fluidnc for those two definitions and I have no idea what they are used for. The tmc driver specs do not list those. The Arduino library FluidNC uses also does not seem to list those settings. Useful links Fluidwiki - Axes Wiki. But I found one here.

I'm not quite sure stealthchop you're saying, but I'm suggesting the default config should have Stealthchop turned on by default, with the included comment explaining how Stealthchop can be turned off, stealthchop, if that is what is desired. So in FluidNC has two main setting for us regarding this, stealthchop.

Stepper motors in a 3D printer are controlled by a variety of driver chips such as the common A and DRV These provide signals to the stepper motors to control the magnets and move them by micro-steps. Typically the motor is divided into steps per revolution, with 80 steps per millimeter of motion. At the movement rates of 3D printers, and due to the ringing produced by stepper motors, the vibrations from these steps can be very loud to the human ear. Trinamic stepper drivers control stepper motors with greater finesse and interpolate the micro-steps to produce extremely quiet motion.

Sensorless homing allows to home an axis without the need for a physical limit switch. If the stepper motor gets too hot, it loses torque and positional accuracy. Notifications Fork Star 1. Klipper docs are fairly clear that Stealthchop should either be always on, or always off:. Further, sensorless homing might not be accurate enough for your printer. Sign in to your account. If a device on a shared SPI bus is not configured, then it may incorrectly respond to commands not intended for it and corrupt the communication to the intended device. Zed Zack October 12, , pm 6.

With a value of 0 stealtchop is disabled. Useful links Fluidwiki - Axes Wiki. I assumed the toffcoolstep setting adjusted that window wider and wider in 15 steps or something by percentage…If that makes sense. This is interesting.

Prusa printers are well known for being very silent, even in the standard mode.

Note that the Trinamic datasheets sometime use wording that can confuse a high-level setting such as "hysteresis end" with a low-level field value eg, "HEND". It can also be useful to have that macro set the driver current before homing and set a new current after the carriage has moved away. During constant velocity moves, this delay results in a positional error of nearly half a configured microstep more precisely, the error is half a microstep distance minus a th of a full step distance. Why did I get a "TMC reports error By default, Klipper places the TMC drivers in "spreadcycle" mode. A higher driver current increases positional accuracy and torque. It will report all fields configured by Klipper as well as all fields that can be queried from the driver. So coolstep uses that stallguard number to dynamically turn up the stepper current and turn the current down when it is not needed. Sorry, something went wrong. For example:. Note that if the driver current during homing is changed, then the tuning process should be run again. As a general tuning tip, prefer higher current values as long as the stepper motor does not get too hot and the stepper motor driver does not report warnings or errors.
