Help with Low Current being supplied from a Tic36v4

Support Motor controllers/drivers and motors
1

I am using the Tic36v4 stepper driver with the current limit set above 2.5 A. The power supply that I am using says that the system is only drawing 0.5 A of current while the stepper motor is moving. Because of the low current, the stepper motors have almost no strength.

I have checked my wiring and tried multiple 36v4 drivers as well as multiple stepper motors. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

Could you post more details about the stepper motor you’re using as well as your power supply?

The reading at your power supply is not a good indication of the current through the stepper motor coils (which is what the current limit is specifying). Could you try directly measuring the current through one of the coils while the stepper motor is stationary?
