TB6600 4.0A Stepper Motor Driver
TB6600 is an easy-to-use professional stepper motor driver, which could control a two-phase stepping motor.
It is compatible with Arduino and other microcontrollers that can output a 5V digital pulse signal. TB6600
stepper motor driver has a wide range power input. And it is able to output 4A peak current, which is enough
for the most of stepper motors. 6 DIP switch for micro steps and output drive current setting. All signal
terminals adopt high-speed opto-coupler isolation, enhancing its ground loop interference ability. As a
professional device, it is able to drive 57, 42-type 2-phase, 4-phase, hybrid stepper motors.

Basic Wiring:
The following diagram shows how to connect the stepper driver within you application. Review the
documentation of the electronics for details on the three signal lines. Note that the voltage applied from the
microprocessor should be 5V. You can connect a 9 to 42V DC power source to VCC/GND.

DIP Switch Setting:
You can set the current and microsteps using the dip switches SW1-SW6 on the side. Refer to the following
tables for details.

Arduino Connection Application Example:
In this section, we'll show you how to use TB6600 with Arduino to drive stepper motor quickly. Wiring up
the TB6600 driver to Arduino Uno controller board as shown below:
Copy and paste the below sketch into Arduino IDE and upload to Arduino Uno board:
/*==========================================================================
// Author : Handson Technology
// Project : Arduino Uno
// Description : TB6600 Stepper Motor Driver
// Source-Code : tb6600.ino
//==========================================================================
*/
int PUL=7; //define Pulse pin
int DIR=6; //define Direction pin
int ENA=5; //define Enable Pin
void setup() {
pinMode (PUL, OUTPUT);
pinMode (DIR, OUTPUT);
pinMode (ENA, OUTPUT);

void loop() {
for (int i=0; i<6400; i++) //Forward 5000 steps
{
digitalWrite(DIR,LOW);
digitalWrite(ENA,HIGH);
digitalWrite(PUL,HIGH);
delayMicroseconds(50);
digitalWrite(PUL,LOW);
delayMicroseconds(50);
}
for (int i=0; i<6400; i++) //Backward 5000 steps
{
digitalWrite(DIR,HIGH);
digitalWrite(ENA,HIGH);
digitalWrite(PUL,HIGH);
delayMicroseconds(50);
digitalWrite(PUL,LOW);
delayMicroseconds(50);
}
}
After successful upload, the stepper motor attached to TB6600 driver board will turn forward
and backward continuously.
