The hybrid digital stepper driver is controlled by the latest 32-bit ARM processor. This digital driver has peripheral subdivision, current, and auxiliary function dialing, which users can freely set according to their needs. Advanced drive control algorithms are written internally to ensure precise and stable operation of the stepper motor in various speed ranges. The built-in subdivision algorithm enables the motor to run smoothly at low speeds; The medium to high speed torque compensation algorithm can maximize the torque of the motor at medium to high speeds; Parameter self-tuning algorithm, capable of adapting to various motors and maximizing motor performance; Built in smoothing algorithm can greatly improve the acceleration and deceleration performance of the motor.

2. Quiescent current setting
The static current can be set with the SW4 DIP switch. Off means the static current is set to half of the dynamic current, and on means the static current is the same as the dynamic current. In general use, SW4 should be set to off to reduce the heat of the motor and driver and improve reliability. After the pulse input stops, the current is automatically reduced to half.
