Help in understanding Microstep table

on 2005-09-12 15:33:25 UTC
Hi, all



I'm trying to develop a step motor controller using trinamic chips.

(www.trinamic.com <http://www.trinamic.com/> ).

So far I understood everything, but I have a doubt about a microstep table.



Source example is here ->
http://www.trinamic.com/tmcweb/downloads/tmc236_example_MD.c



This chip as a 4 bit DAC, thus a 16 micro step resolution. So, why is the
table 64 positions?

Should be only 16 right? I believe that this as to do with the sin/cos
functions. That means

That this table is a complete sin/cos function (16*4). If this is right how
do I move one

full step using only 16 microsteps (in the max resolution) ?



Boy I'm confused.



Thanks in advance



Joaquim
