Hi, I’ve recently been asked about a stall detection, from a DC motor, or a stepper with one of the trinamics silent stepsticks with stall detection.
The DC motor should be driven by switching an on/off relay and left/right by switching direction by a relay, and i want to check when the motor stalls (runs into an endstop). For the stepper motor, I’d want to detect missing steps, but other than I know these drivers are on my prusa, I have no knowledge on these and if these would be plug and play with for example a cramps board. Anyone with experience on these 2 applications? The reason I would not use encoders is that I’d like to have an alternative to “just buy closed loop driver + motor + encoder”. Most important is that this should be a reliable setup, where performance may suffer at the expense of cost.
