could someone please show me how to wire up these 3 items: a esp8266 nodemcu, nema17 stepper motor, 12v dc power, and tmc2208 driver? how about the esphome code? i searched videos on youtube but came up with a lot of the older noisy driver.
others on youtube have it done but for some reason refuses to show to wiring and yml code to make it possible for a noob like myself to follow along.
HI,
I am on the same hunt even though I have a newer tmc2225 driver.
I have found this guide that claims a successful tmc integration with ESPHome TMC2208 ESPHOME quiet curtains - YouTube (code in the description).
Officially ESPHome does support only a4988 and uln2003 which explains the lack of guides online.
Alternatively you can search for a Tasmota integration that seam to support this much better.
You can start here: HOWTO control stepper motors · arendst/Tasmota · Discussion #11731 · GitHub
If you succeed, please let me know what did you do as I am about to go trough this as soon as I find a moment for that.
Good luck!
i saw that YT. unfortunately, it is too basic. not good enough cause it lacks a lot of details that a noob like myself cant rewrite a complete working code.
this is the best link i have found so far Printables his code is the most comprehensive for Nema 17 stepper + TMC2208 +ESP32 + ESPhome
just wanna update that this code works thanks to @RoadkillUK
really appreciate his help n time troubleshooting.
sad to say my roller blinds no longer working reliably anymore.
i used to have 2 automations. roller up at sun up. roller down at run down. easy.
BUT now, as soon as any command is sent, the Esp device would reboot instantly.
here, you can see i manually pressed the down button and it went into reboot or something. is my ESP32 board bad or is it my wifi network going crazy?
