DRV8889-Q1: Microstepping modes

Hi,

I have a question about the microstepping of DRV8889-Q1. I am trying to run the stepper motor using 1/256 micro-stepping mode. 

Not trying to sound ignorant but when the motor is running in 1/256 micro-step mode, does that mean it needs 256 PWM pulses for completing one step?

Thank you,

Arshiya Tabassum

    Hi Arshiya,

    Yes, you have it right.

    This means you will have 51,200 steps/ rev.  In a typical 1.8 deg/ step stepper motor, you have 200 steps/ rev (360/ 1.8).  Take the steps/ rev of the motor (200 in this case), and multiply by the number of microsteps to get 256 * 200 = 51,200 steps/ rev.

    Regards,
