These single driver boards using the TB6560 chip are available from Amazon for $16, so I ordered one. When it arrived I looked online for a circuit diagram with out finding one. In fact these SainSmart products are notorious for poor or no documentation which does not always mean the product is bad. I then spent 3 hours tracing the circuit and now have a schematic. The only odd part of the circuit is the use of the torque setting. I doubt that they work correctly; however, if SW5 and SW6 are left open then during idle times, no step, the torque drops to 20% and then switches to 100% on the first step. Next we will test the board.
We are at a MakerSpace and cobbling a CNC router on the cheap. Are steppers are all bipolar so the TB6560 should work. One thing I noticed about the ST330 there are no protection diodes on the stepper coil outputs, assuming I guess that the internal diodes of the TB6560 are sufficent. Is this true?
