Introduction: Unlocking Maximum Torque and Diagnostics

The Makerbase MKS TMC2240 V1.0 is the professional-grade stepper motor driver for makers building large-format 3D printers, powerful CNC machines, or any system requiring high torque and operational reliability. Operating safely up to 36VDC and delivering a powerful 2.1A RMS (3A Peak), the TMC2240 offers significantly more headroom than standard 2209 drivers.

This driver provides the ultimate combination of high power, silent operation (StealthChop2™), and full diagnostic capabilities via SPI communication, allowing your machine’s firmware to constantly monitor driver status and prevent potential failures.

Key Features and High-Performance Advantages

Technical Feature

Benefit for the High-End Maker

High Voltage (Up to 36V)

Compatible with high-voltage power supplies, providing higher torque at higher speeds—crucial for large, fast-moving axes in CNC or large printers.

High Current Output

Delivers 2.1A RMS continuous current (3.0A peak), ensuring your NEMA motors have the power they need for demanding tasks without skipping steps.

SPI/UART Communication

Supports both serial protocols, with SPI offering full bi-directional diagnostic feedback for error reporting and real-time current control directly from the host board.

StallGuard4™ (Sensorless Homing)

Integrated technology allows the motor to act as an endstop, simplifying the mechanical build and eliminating the need for separate limit switches on the X/Y axes.

CoolStep™ & Diagnostics

Advanced features like CoolStep (intelligent power saving) and integrated over-temperature/short-circuit protection and reporting maximize driver life and overall system reliability.

Silent Operation

Features StealthChop2™ to ensure high-performance motion remains virtually silent, regardless of the high currents involved.
