I was recently given a Trinamic 1043 development kit with a motor, 3x control boards and a USB/serial adapter
see:
www <dot> trinamic <dot> com/products/modules/driver-step/tmcm-1043
(url broken by board restrictions)
for info
Is there any way it can be used with Helicon Remote?
If not, it would be nice to use the motor - Can anyone suggest a specific compatible board that drives such motors? (a much cheaper option than buying a motor with a board, since the kit has a motor in it).

Re: Trinamic 1043 kit
Can't say. The new Trinamics that have USB interface out of the box most likely won't work. But you're saying this one uses a USB / serial converter, same as those we support, so maybe it'll work. Have you already tried it?

Re: Trinamic 1043 kit
The 1043 motor board is not USB, so maybe some chance.
The USB unit has a stm32f103 processor in it, so looks specifically for programming the 1043 boards - I have a FTDI based usb-serial unit that seems to be seen from Remote, so I'll see if there's a way of getting it to talk to the motor board - that or watch things go pop...

Re: Trinamic 1043 kit
Seems the 1043 controller board only has a step/direction interface (no serial) so out of luck there...
