Hello,
I have the following setup:
TB6600 (but specified as a4988 in the esphome config) driver connected to pins on an ESP8266 as follows:
dir_pin: D4
step_pin: D3
sleep_pin: D5
It’s working but the motor gets hot because it’s not being put to sleep - I have d5 connected to the TB6600 on ENA+ and gnd from the esp8266 connected to the ENA- port on the TB6600.
If I leave the esp8266 connected to the ENA-/+ ports - the motor is unlocked - aka - no power - but the up/down commands do not work then. But if I disconnect the ENA- or ENA+ from the ESP8266, then up/down works - but the motor power never gets cut, so it gets hot.
I’m puzzled as to why this would be or if I need to re-wire diffrently since the esphome setup expects a a4988 instead of the TB6600 - though various reports say it’s ok to use the TB6600 in place of the a4988.
Any ideas/thoughts? If I have left out info that is needed, let me know - will get it.
