In this video, we're going to take a look at what TMC2208 stepper motors do differently to allow them to drive stepper motors near silently. We'll use a simple oscilloscope to plot actual current measurements so that we can visualise the difference.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Here's a link to my blog post that has more information on the test setup and the test code for the Arduino https://www.thediylife.com/whatmak...
