motor driver (tmc5160-2.8a-60v) - Problem accessing design files
Hi @nadimconti Thank you so much for creating this wonderful and very impressive motor driver board. Based around TMC5160 at high voltage.
Hey there, have been trying to get a better look at the electronics schematic for TMC 5160 driver board. And it seems to be saved as an Altium document, is that correct?
- Because I am not seeing on your PDF here is where the +12v is derived from on the board, for Vsa.
- Because the package format for the 5160 is no longer available with legs, git needs modifying for the other package type. Which is also a different pin out. Which requires rewiring / remeshing.
Well I have been trying to convert those files to Kicad format, (using 'Altium2Kicad' tool). However it just does not work and creates errors.
Can you export from the altium files, into any different formats? Can you export the schematic as SVG or otherwise print a copy of the full schematics to PDF etc? It would just make it easier to open the design files on Linux platform. Many thanks.
Finally I was also wondering why you recommend to keep the voltage less than 50v? Is it because of an issue you discovered during your testing? What is this issue to be avoided? Many thanks for all your help.
