About this item

The BIGTREETECH TMC2226 V1.0 is a next-generation stepper motor driver developed for high-performance, quiet, and precise motion control in 3D printers, CNC machines, and robotics. Based on Trinamic’s TMC2226 chip, this driver offers a combination of silent operation, excellent torque, and efficient heat management, making it ideal for both casual and professional users. It supports StealthChop2 for ultra-quiet motion, SpreadCycle for high-speed torque-rich operation, and StallGuard4 for sensorless homing. With UART communication, users can dynamically adjust settings like motor current, microstepping, and diagnostics directly from firmware like Marlin, removing the need for physical jumpers or potentiometers. The TMC2226 features a larger package (HTSSOP) compared to the TMC2209, which allows it to dissipate heat more effectively—resulting in better performance during extended or high-load printing sessions. It is A4988 pin-compatible, making it easy to install on most control boards. Whether upgrading an Ender 3 or building a custom printer, the TMC2226 provides smooth, reliable, and quiet motor control with modern features for today’s advanced 3D printing needs.
