1. General information

1.1. Safety advise

1.2. Assembly tips

- The pins of many components can be bend easily. Before placing the components on the

PCB, always make sure that the pins are straight and can be fitted without using force into

the PCB.

- It is very difficult (impossible) to remove components which are already soldered onto the

PCB. Make sure to align the components as good as possible before soldering all

connections. One good way to do this is to start only with one solder connection. Check

whether the part is fitted correctly. If not, you can heat up this connection and correct the

placement. Once the position is ok, you can continue with the remaining connections.

- The PCB does not have a false polarity protection. So please double check the polarity of all

components and cable of the power supply before connecting it to the power supply.

1.3. Necessary equipment

- Soldering iron or station with standard tip

- precision cutting pliers with flat cutting edge

- some isolation tape

- multimeter

- Fine screwdriver – slotted 1,0/1,5mm width

Place and solder the pushbuttons for PROG and RESET on the top side of the PCB. Make sure that the

short pushbutton (PROG) is on the left site.

This MOSFET will switch the 12V power supply for the stepper drivers. If it is not switch, the 12V rail

for the drivers is connected via a 150 Ohm resistor to the power supply. This is necessary to reduce

the power on current. Otherwise all capacitors would be fully loaded on power on, might causing the

power supply to switch off due to over current.

ATTENTION:

The MOSFET can be placed both ways into the three holes. Make sure to place it according the

picture below, otherwise you might cause damage on the control board.

• Pay attention on the polarity of the capacitor, a wrong connected capacitor can explode and will

cause other damage. Each positive pole on the PCB is labeled with a “+”-symbol.

• There are two way to determine the polarity of the capacitor:

o One of the connecting pins is longer than the other, this one is the positive pole

o One side of the capacitor is marked white and containing a “-“ symbol, this is the

negative side

• Once you placed the SilentStepStick you can solder the pins on top.

ATTENTION:

The drivers can be placed both ways into the female header. Ensure that the side which has “M1B”,

“M1A”,”M2A” and “M2B” is always facing to the outer site. Placing the SilentSteckStick in the wrong

direction will damage the driver and the whole controller.

Also make sure that there is always one free pin between the drivers. If you place them the wrong

way, they will be damaged and might damage to whole PCB.

1.1.10. Voltage regulators

The PCB must be equipped with two DC-DC voltage converters:

One voltage converter (bottom side) needs to be set to 5.0V and will supply the Arduino and the

SilentStepStick with power.

The second converter is placed on the top side and is used for camera power supply. This voltage

needs to be set to the according value, which you will find one your camera battery. Usually this will

be something around 7-8V. Some cameras will need higher values than printed on the battery. Be

careful to set this voltage to the right value. A higher voltage might destroy your camera.

Soldering the voltage converter requires a specific order, otherwise you will not be able to solder

other components or might damage the components due to high voltage.

The voltage converter will be delivered with a random current setting, so you need to set up the right

value before soldering the converter to the PCB:

Connect your supply voltage to the INPUT. Make sure you have the right polarity

Now measure the OUTPUT voltage. Adjust both regulators to 5.00V by turning the screw on the

potentiometer.

1.1.11. USB-Host-Shield (optional)

• This USB-Host-Shield is used to attach the Bluetooth-Dongle for the PlayStation4 Controller

support

• Before starting assembly, you need to cut the wire trace left to the “2K2” marking on the top

side of the module:

• Take a jumper wire (ca. 3-4cm) and solder it to the VBUS (from the bottom site) and connect

this wire to the “top right” pin of the shield like in the pictures below:

1.1.12. AUX connection (optional)

Place the 15-pin Sub-D port from the bottom of the PCB, like in the picture below:

This connector is only required, if you are planning to connect further equipment like external

stepper drivers, sensors etc.

Unfortunately, all Pins of the Teensy are in use, so the only possibility to make more connections is to

use the solder pads on the bottom side of the Teensy.

The used pin-layout is just a recommendation. If your project requires other pins or functions, you

have to adjust the pins accordingly.

S e i t e 36 | 51

The 15 Sub-D connector on the PCB already has some fixed connections as you can see in the pin-

layout below. So Pins 1,2,3,8,9 and 10 are already connected.

Pins 4,5,6,7,11,12,13,14 and 15 have no connection.

So we will use those unconnected pins and make some wire connections to the bottom side of the

Teensy. To make the connection, I recommend using ribbon cable. You will need one cable with 4

wires(pins 4,5,6,7) and one cable with 5 wires (pins 11,12,13,14,15). Both cables should be around

15cm and cut to length later.

• After soldering and placing of all SilentStepStick drivers, cut and put the thermal pad to each

headsink. Remove the protection film from the thermal pad and place it carefully like in the

picture below.

Now place the aluminium cube. Make sure the both surfaces with the rough surface are facing left

and right according to this picture.

ATTENTION:

Make sure that the heatsink is centered and not touching the pins on the left or right side. Otherwise

a contact will produce a short circuit and might damage the driver and the whole PCB.

• Place and tighten the 4 standard screws on the PCB. Make sure that you place the plastic

washers between the screws and the PCB. Do not overtighten the screws, since you are

screwing into plastic.

• Before you put in the screws, make sure that the cables below the PCB are free and not

between the PCB and the bottom housing. The PCB should be flat on the pillars of the

bottom housing part.

There is always one pin free between the drivers.

1.2.3. Adjustment of stepper current

The output current of the stepper drivers needs to be reduced to 0.8A, since the drivers will get too

hot otherwise. The setting it done by a small setscrew on the drivers. The current can be later

reduced further inside the Android app, but this hardware setting is necessery to set a total limit.

1. Connect at least one stepper to the controller

2. Connect the power supply to PWR1

3. Open the app and open manual move

4. The stepper should have now power and you will be able to move it in manual mode.

5. If this is not the case, please shut off the power, close the app and retry again.

6. Now measure the voltage between the two points like in the picture below (IN- of the upper

voltage regulator (GND) and the Vref of the driver)

7. You should have around 1.13V (which is about 0.8A stepper current). You can adjust this by

turning the little potentiometer of the driver next to the VM pin.

8. Set the current on all drivers.
