Hello!
Recently I bought these NEMA 17 0.51 Nm engines
And the Stepstick RAMPS A4988 RepRap driver
Engine control works but not exactly as it should. The engine squeaks and vibrates terribly during operation (unless this is the first time I have such an engine in my hands
). It's spinning very slowly even though it was supposed to spin at a fairly high speed. Anyone know how to speed it up and eliminate this squeaking and vibrations?
Code (example from some page):

After refreshing the topic somehow I felt like resuming the project, but I do not want to keep playing with those drivers that I think are extremely resistant, so I decided to buy something else. I was thinking about drv8825, I heard that they are much better than described above. Is this a good choice? Can he buy something else? I don't limit myself, I'm just interested in not having fun for the next two years 
My set has not changed, the engines remained those on the subject. I really only mean front and rear control and speed (continuous operation). Anyone have any checked drivers? best regards
