What Makes TMC2208 Stepper Motor Drivers Silent?

In this video, we're going to take a look at what TMC2208 stepper motors do differently to allow them to drive stepper motors near silently. We'll use a simple oscilloscope to plot actual current measurements so that we can visualise the difference.
