Our take on the PD Stepper USB PD Closed Loop Stepper Driver and Controller

The PD Stepper is a single board that combines a NEMA 17 stepper driver, a TMC2209 silent driver chip, an ESP32-S3 microcontroller and closed-loop encoder support. It is powered over USB PD, so one cable replaces the separate power supply, driver and controller most builds need. That makes it far more compact than a stack of breakout boards, and the TMC2209 keeps motion quiet. It suits makers building compact IoT or automation projects who want closed-loop control without wiring a custom electronics stack.

Pros
  • Driver, controller and power input on one board
  • USB PD power removes a separate supply
  • TMC2209 driver runs quietly
  • ESP32-S3 adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for IoT
  • Closed-loop encoder support improves positioning
  • Injection-molded cover and heatsinks included in the full kit
Cons
  • Limited to NEMA 17 motors
  • USB PD source must supply enough power for the motor load
  • Closed-loop use needs the encoder magnet fitted and aligned
  • Fewer I/O and expansion options than a full dev board
  • Setup requires firmware and ESP32 tooling knowledge

About the PD Stepper USB PD Closed Loop Stepper Driver and Controller

PD Stepper is a USB PD powered driver and controller for Nema 17 stepper motors. It combines a Trinamic TMC2209 stepper driver and an ESP32-S3 microcontroller on a single board. This replaces the separate microcontroller, driver, power supply and optional encoder a stepper project usually needs.

The board is compact and made to fit on the back of a common Nema 17 motor. It runs from a USB-C connection, so no 12 V or 24 V power brick is needed. With USB PD and the TMC2209, it can drive a stepper motor with up to about 50 W of power.

An onboard AS5600 magnetic rotary position sensor measures absolute angle for precise positioning and closed loop control. The ESP32-S3 provides built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and works with development tools and libraries such as ESPHome and ESPNow. The project is open-source.

Questions and answers

What makes the PD Stepper different from a normal stepper driver?
It puts the TMC2209 driver, ESP32-S3 controller and USB PD power input on one board. A normal driver still needs a separate microcontroller and power supply.
Does it work with any NEMA 17 motor?
It is built for NEMA 17 motors, and the full kit includes two motor wires to cover either common pinout. Check your motor's current rating against what your USB PD source can deliver.
Is closed-loop control included?
Yes. The board supports an encoder, and the full kit includes the encoder magnet. You still need to fit and align the magnet and configure the firmware.
What is in the full kit?
The PCB, a polycarbonate cover, an anodized aluminum heat spreader, four M3 mounting screws, two motor wires, the encoder magnet and large and small heatsinks.
Can I control it over Wi-Fi?
The ESP32-S3 has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, so you can drive and monitor the board over a network. That is what makes it useful for IoT projects.
Do I need to write firmware?
You will need to flash and configure firmware for the ESP32-S3. It is not a plug-and-play module, so basic embedded tooling experience helps.
Where is the PD Stepper USB PD Closed Loop Stepper Driver and Controller cheapest?
At West3D 3D Printing Supplies, for $59.99, as of our latest check.
What do buyers say about the PD Stepper USB PD Closed Loop Stepper Driver and Controller?
Rated 5 out of 5 from 4 ratings.
