Standard Mode
The standard running mode of the motor is more reliable than the high precision mode, however it
only has a max Microstep resolution of 16 Microsteps per step. This Mode uses an advanced
current detection algorithm that implements an average current per phase rather than the more
common Max current per phase. The Standard Mode operation is more resilient to stepper motor
resonance and can, therefore, run motors through th
e dreaded “resonance frequency” range with
a reduced potential for motor stall.
This mode is more suited for higher speed applications that require less positional accuracy.
M_STEP register layout
The M_STEP register contains only 4bits to transition between Precision mode and Standard
Mode, as well as to specify the Microstep resolution.
