Do you want to do some projects with stepper motors such as a drafting instrument, a 3D printer, an auto curtain, etc...? As we all know, regular stepper motors are hard to drive, but with this stepper motor shield, you can easily drive 2 stepper motors via just 6 digital I/O’s. This board is compatible with the Arduino UNO R3. Directly supports Xbee and Xbee form factor Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and RF modules. Easy connection of cables via screwless PC terminals. Each stepper motor has a code switch for adjusting driving modes, to obtain different rotational speeds. Interfaces of the board include extension 6 channel Analog I/O, 8 channel Digital I/O & I2C. Stepper motor is a brushless DC electric motor that divides a full rotation into a number of equal steps. The motor's position can then be commanded to move and hold at one of these steps without any feedback sensor (an open-loop controller), as long as the motor is carefully sized to the application in respect to torque and speed.
- Support 3.3V and 5V operating voltage
- Suitable for two-phase and four-wire stepper motor
- Board with two DRV8825 driver chip and a heat sink has been mounted.
- Input Voltage：8.2-45V DC (Just power the stepper motor driver), Up to 2.5A output current per coil
- Driving Pins: D4,D5,D6,D7,D8,D12
- Squeeze connector, quite easy and convenient.
- 8 channel digital I/O pins & 6 channel Analog input pins
- DRV8825 Microstepping bipolar stepper motor driver
- Six different microstep resolutions (full-step, 1/2-step, 1/4-step, 1/8-step, 1/16-step, 1/32-step)
- Compatible with Arduino UNO R3, Leonardo, Mega and other controllers, with full port extensions. Support XBee, XBee Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and RF modules, ensure that the needs of your wireless communications.
- There is a switch on the board Xbee wireless interfaces corner. PROG stop wireless module, available USB programming. RUN time can use the wireless communication module.
*Wireless program switch:
-
- RUN: Turn the Switch here to use the Xbee module
- PROG: Turn the Switch here to upload the sketch via USB
*Motor wiring diagram： 
- The new version expand two enable pins, you can enable/disable the motor driver to save the power consumption, Motor X enable pin for the D8, Motor Y enable pin for the D12, low voltage enable, the following truth table:
