Works well.: Computers and Accessories

Works well with no problems but after receiving it I found out that it doesn't support microstepping so I need another motor controller so I can have smoother rotations are actually slow speeds. Not all controllers have microstepping. In this case, it was just my rookie mistake, not the fault of the product.

Pros
  • Single Board Computer
Cons
  • There are cons

You can't go wrong with Adafruit products

Haven't used it yet but like everything Adafruit makes it's well built and I don't expect any problems with it. Adafruit also offers excellent software and application support for all of their products.

Pros
  • Computers and Accessories
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

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.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • New Competitors Emerged
