I am working on a project where I need to control a stepper motor. Earlier I was using L298n motor driver. It worked fine until the stepper motor went into hold state. Because it draws maximum current and eventually burns the driver module.
Now I am upgrading my project to a new driver and I searched a lot and found tb6560 stepper motor driver ( https://www.oyostepper.es/category-16-b ... -paso.html ) which is very good. Now I wonder if this problem will occur again with tb6560.
My stepper motor is nema17 stepper motor with 2.8 ohm resistance per coil and the current recommended in the datasheet is 1.4 amps, I don't know why they recommend about 12 volts/2.8 ohms = 4.3 amps per phase. Please guide me about tb6560.

Please reply me as soon as possible!
There will be no regret and sorrow if you fight with all your strength.

Yes, the TB6560 is a better choice. Just set the current limit to 1.4A (your motor’s rated current), and you’ll avoid overheating. Use cooling if needed, and enable idle current reduction if available.
