M522 Access

Standard stepper motors sound like angry bees. The M522 tuning allows for a smoother current waveform. By adjusting the decay mode, you eliminate the "growl" at low speeds. If you are building a desktop CNC or a 3D printer for your home office, the M522 setting will save your sanity.

But why should you care?

One of the biggest issues with microstepping is that you lose torque as you increase the steps per revolution. The M522 algorithm compensates for this by regulating the off-time (t_off). It keeps the motor cool while maintaining enough holding torque to keep your extruder from skipping steps. Standard stepper motors sound like angry bees
