Using the components below i built the circuit provided by the DRV8825 supplier website.
Note: wrong board in picture but thats the gist of it.
When powering on, the stepper jitters (shaft goes clockwise / counter clock wise repeatedly). When it should only be energize and holding in place.
When running a simple script (attached) the stepper continues to jitter.
When enabling micro stepping 1/16 or 1/32 it does the sequence while missing a crapton of steps.
the Stepper winding are fine, the resistance per coil is nominal as per its spec sheet.
there is ~ 1.1 - 1.5amps per phase (depending on where i set the vref of the driver)
Any ideas why the stepper would jitter like that, even when no signal is sent?
the code attached is using the AccelStepper library, i have also tried the A4988 Library to the same result.
Details:
Stepper: 17hs15-1504s-x1
Driver: DRV8825
Supply to driver: 12v
vref on driver :0.63
