Shift at Chip1: Halfstep: Pin9 connect to GND, Fullstep: Pin7 connect to GND. Shift at Chip2: Dynamic from Quarterstep to Fullstep: Pin1 connect to GND.

NEW: Chipsatz No.12 with 1/8-step, Quarterstep, Halfstep and Fullstep. Shift the steps at Chip1: Fullstep: Pin7 & Pin9 GND; Halfstep: Pin7 GND, Pin9 NC. 1/4-step: Pin9 GND, Pin7 NC; 1/8-step: Pin7/9 NC (open Pins have active pull-up).

Important Note::
Chipset No.1a is a special design and requires to cross Pin15 and Pin17 at Chip2!! Pin15(Chip2) connect to Pin6(ChipB) and Pin17(Chip2) connect to Pin8(ChipB).

The dynamic shift to lower Step-Mode should be activated at the end of the acceleration-ramp and switch back to a higher resolution when start brake. This overtakes the dead-point of resonances! Easily doubles dynamic speed!

Chipsset No.5 includes asymetric Quarterstep. This set is recommend for high acceleration and very high speed! Choose Chipset No.2 for fine milling, etc. Chipset No.1 can realise the fastest acceleration of all 9 Chipsets. Chipset No.1 is the set delivered by default if no other set is choosen!

The dynamic shift can be triggered at Pin13 or Pin1(required for Odin-3D board). 1. Version of Chip2: Pin1[NC], Pin13[Dynamic Switch]. Order (Example): Chipset No.5-13 2. Version of Chip2: Pin1[Dynamic Switch], Pin13[NC]. Order (Example): Chipset No.7-1

Current-Reduction active, when Pin10 from Chip1 is high and Pin11 is not connected (high). The Function at Pin10 gets inverted, if Pin11 from Chip1 is connected to GND (low).

Move the mousepointer over the image, but don't klick at first! You'll see the Phase-Voltage Relation while driving in Halfstep-Mode. Click on the image and you'll be linked to the datasheet of the LMD18245-Chips.
