DRV 8834 Stackable

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV8834

I like your design. I learnt a lot from it. I have an idea to make it stackable that you can take a lot further. It's on EAGLE. Please send me your email address if you're  interested.

  • Hi Ben,

    thank you! Nice to hear that it was useful for you. Sure I'm interested in your design. In the meantime I improved the design too, added a potentiometer to set the driving current. I'm going to use 0 Ohm resistors to make it stackable and will post the updated plans soon.

  • Max,

    Thanks as well for the project.  I assigned the exact thing (Booster Pack with the DRV8834) to students last week as a PCB layout project for learning how to use Eagle, and then I stumbled on your version a couple days ago.  I am having them use through-hole components from bench stock for all but the DRV8834, so we'll have some differences.  We had trouble finding the library component for the DRV8834, so I hope to snag it from your schematic.  Any suggestions or updates would be appreciated.  I left the design goals open so a one-motor stepper controller is the minimum, but I challenged then to come up with something they could stack to control three motors.  We'll see what they come up with.  Thanks again...
