Multi Stepper Click is a compact add-on board that contains a bipolar stepper motor driver. This board features the TB67S101AFG, a PHASE-in controlled bipolar stepping motor driver from Toshiba Semiconductor. It supports a PWM constant-current control drive and full-, half-, and quarter-step operation for less motor noise and smoother control. It has a wide operating voltage range of 10V to 47V with an output current capacity of 2.8A in addition to several built-in error detection circuits.

We provide a library for the Multi Stepper TB67S101 Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.
This library contains API for Multi Stepper TB67S101 Click driver.
multisteppertb67s101_cfg_setup
Config Object Initialization function.
void multisteppertb67s101_cfg_setup ( multisteppertb67s101_cfg_t *cfg );
multisteppertb67s101_init
Initialization function.
err_t multisteppertb67s101_init ( multisteppertb67s101_t *ctx, multisteppertb67s101_cfg_t *cfg );
multisteppertb67s101_default_cfg
Click Default Configuration function.
err_t multisteppertb67s101_default_cfg ( multisteppertb67s101_t *ctx );
multisteppertb67s101_set_step_mode
This function sets the step mode resolution settings in ctx->step_mode.
void multisteppertb67s101_set_step_mode ( multisteppertb67s101_t *ctx, uint8_t mode );
multisteppertb67s101_drive_motor
This function drives the motor for the specific number of steps at the selected speed.
err_t multisteppertb67s101_drive_motor ( multisteppertb67s101_t *ctx, uint32_t steps, uint8_t speed );
multisteppertb67s101_set_direction
This function sets the motor direction to clockwise or counter-clockwise in ctx->direction.
void multisteppertb67s101_set_direction ( multisteppertb67s101_t *ctx, uint8_t dir );
This example demonstrates the use of the Multi Stepper TB67S101 click board by driving the motor in both directions for a desired number of steps.
The demo application is composed of two sections :
Initializes the driver and performs the click default configuration.
void application_init ( void )
{
log_cfg_t log_cfg; /**< Logger config object. */
multisteppertb67s101_cfg_t multisteppertb67s101_cfg; /**< Click config object. */
/**
* Logger initialization.
* Default baud rate: 115200
* Default log level: LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG
* @note If USB_UART_RX and USB_UART_TX
* are defined as HAL_PIN_NC, you will
* need to define them manually for log to work.
* See @b LOG_MAP_USB_UART macro definition for detailed explanation.
*/
LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
log_info( &logger, " Application Init " );
// Click initialization.
multisteppertb67s101_cfg_setup( &multisteppertb67s101_cfg );
MULTISTEPPERTB67S101_MAP_MIKROBUS( multisteppertb67s101_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
if ( I2C_MASTER_ERROR == multisteppertb67s101_init( &multisteppertb67s101, &multisteppertb67s101_cfg ) )
{
log_error( &logger, " Communication init." );
for ( ; ; );
}
if ( MULTISTEPPERTB67S101_ERROR == multisteppertb67s101_default_cfg ( &multisteppertb67s101 ) )
{
log_error( &logger, " Default configuration." );
for ( ; ; );
}
log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
}
Drives the motor clockwise for 200 steps and then counter-clockiwse for 100 steps with 2 seconds delay before changing the direction. Each step will be logged on the USB UART where you can track the program flow.
void application_task ( void )
{
multisteppertb67s101_set_direction ( &multisteppertb67s101, MULTISTEPPERTB67S101_DIR_CW );
if ( MULTISTEPPERTB67S101_OK == multisteppertb67s101_drive_motor ( &multisteppertb67s101, 200,
MULTISTEPPERTB67S101_SPEED_FAST ) )
{
log_printf ( &logger, " Move 200 steps clockwise \r\n\n" );
Delay_ms ( 2000 );
}
multisteppertb67s101_set_direction ( &multisteppertb67s101, MULTISTEPPERTB67S101_DIR_CCW );
if ( MULTISTEPPERTB67S101_OK == multisteppertb67s101_drive_motor ( &multisteppertb67s101, 100,
MULTISTEPPERTB67S101_SPEED_FAST ) )
{
log_printf ( &logger, " Move 100 steps counter-clockwise \r\n\n" );
Delay_ms ( 2000 );
}
}

Additional notes and informations
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.
