Is this useful for BOB boards? #13

Closed Neex101 closed 3 years ago

Neex101 commented 4 years ago

Hi, I am new to Trinamic products, so forgive me if this is really obvious. I have a TMC2660-BOB. I want to build a test UI using python on a RasPi. So, comms would be from the RasPi SPI pins to the BOB pins. I'm hoping these libs are what I need. If so, would you be able to document any example implementations here, in the github wiki? Many thanks, Ed

Hi Neex101,

as already discussed here, direct SPI communication with ICs is not part of PyTrinamic.

For your project you should use our low level TMC-API written in C.

If you have any further questions please let us know.

Hi, thanks for your response. Good to know. Do you have any guides on how to implement the TMC-API? (its README doesn't tell me much and there's nothing in the wiki). Best, Ed

Hi,

the TMC-API is directly used by the https://github.com/trinamic/TMC-EvalSystem project.

Regards, ED
