Acorn using TB6600 Drivers
Posted: Thu May 13, 2021 7:27 pm
To keep this short Im using an acorn and TB6600 drivers. I have them configured currently as common anode however, I have ran them common cathode as well and the issue is unchanged in either configuration. I couldn't find anyone using a similar setup online. The motors I am using are these ones here.
The motors will jitter back and forth and make lots of vibration and noise. Im not sure where to go from here as all of my wiring is correct. I measured the windings with Fluke DMM and paired them together according to that. I assume this has something to do with my configuration in the software as opposed to the drivers because all of my drivers act the same. However the dip switches dont seem to change the action of the motors as much as you would expect. Increases speed just makes the noise louder and amperage just make the holding torque stronger.
Im not opposed to buying new drivers as these guys are only 10 bucks a pop. I just want the machine to be fairly reliable and its understandable 10 dollar drivers could derail that a little. These are the exact ones I have currently.
My application is a plasma cutter with just X and Y axis. Let me know what you would recommend for this application I would like to have this machine going soon as everything else is done but just cant get the motors to work quite right.
Ill upload a video if need be for as better analysis of this issue.
