Duet Names / Nomenclature Meaning HC, LC, HCL
-
I'm curious what the naming scheme is behind the Duet 3 boards. Does HC stand for something? Knowing each name meaning would help me understand each board functionality to help purchase selection.
6HC
6XD1XD
3HC
1HCL
1LC -
@RogerPodacter The number is how many drivers there are on board, or how many motors that board supports. H/HC and L/LC are High and Low current drivers. H is usually the TMC2160/6A driver, L is TMC2209/2A (1.6A on 1LC). XD is for 'External Driver'. CL is "Closed Loop". Easy!
Edit: The Mini 5+ breaks the above convention, but then would have been the 5LC2XD. Or 5LC+. So forgive us that one!
