BIGTREETECH DIRECT TMC2209 V1.2/V1.3 Stepper Motor Driver Silent UART Stepsticks VS TMC2100 TMC2130 for SKR 2/ SKR V1.4 Turbo Manta M4P Manta M5P/M8P 3D Printer Motherboard (Pack of 4pcs)

From the description, its hard to tell whether these come in legacy mode or UART mode. The manual says that they come both ways from the factory and that the UART mode ones do not need J2 configured for UART mode. These come without J2 configured! BigTree-Tech expects the buyer to install the .4mm solder blob thats partially obscured by the preinstalled pin headers.

Used these on my TronXY X5S with the Big Tree Tech SKR 1.4 board. These drivers are great. Im using them without end stop switches and that works wonderfully. These drivers and that control board made the X5S so much quieter and smoother. It was the best upgrade Ive done for that printer. Id greatly recommend these.

Worked perfectly for my Tenlog Printer. I had a fan fail and the heat smoked the 2209 chip for Extruder E1. Ordered the 4 pack and attached 2 of the packaged heatsinks for extra cooling and I was off to the races in under 20 minutes.

Needed more juice to properly operate my extruder on my Ender 3 / SKR 1.3 setup and this did the job.

Always wanted to upgrade to the Tmc drivers. Bought a SKR 1.3 from Bigtreetech and never looked back! Print quality is excellent, and the sound level is reduced. I have to look sometimes to make sure the printer is still printing. Will use these driver sticks again for future upgrades.

If you are buying these for anything other than a replacement part for a 3D printer, dont bother. These TMC2208s come on UART mode which renders them incapable of STEP/DIR driver mode. So long as VM/GND and VIO/GND are connected then all 4 output signals are held at perpetual highs even when EN is high.

Power in a few Nema 17 drives, these motor drivers do the job way better than anything else I have used. The heatsinks stay cool to the touch when running. My other drivers burned my hands after running for a minute or two. They are also night and day quieter than most drivers. I will be buying more for future projects.

I purchased these for a CNC build, but ended up using them on my FDM 3D printer. Performance is excellent & highly recommended.

Ender 3 Pro + SKR v1.4Turbo + TCM2209 Stepper drivers = 1 Awesome Printer! compared to the basic Ender 3 Pro steppers, these are 1 hell of an upgrade! You go from EeeEEEeEEeeeE sounding movements to Wooooosh Wooooooosh hahahhahahha Read the instructions carefully, you may need to cut a pin off the driver board. Easy tho. The included heat syncs really do a great job as well. Ive run a couple prints, lasting a few hours, without having the lid on my components case, so no fan... Never had the printer shutoff from overheating. As long as you update you firmware correction and using a compatible board, these stepper drivers are great!

Pretty darn quiet and work well. Would have preferred a version without the pins already attached, but I understand that most people want the pins on them, so there is that. Good that they include the heatsinks as the can get toasty.
