Review on πŸ”Œ Adafruit DRV8833 DC/Stepper Motor Driver Breakout Board (PID 3297) - Efficient and Reliable Control Solution by Devon Leach

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Suitable for low voltage battery powered stepper drivers

Suitable for low voltage battery powered stepper drivers. I use it with 4AA NiMH batteries and an Arduino Nano. I only use the motor for about a minute at a time, and the sleep pin allows my Arduino to turn off power to the stepper motor, which otherwise draws an amp when it's sleeping. This is important if I forget to switch off the device, otherwise the batteries will quickly run out.
