Description of πŸ”Œ Arduino Stepper Controller Module by Qunqi

Dual-channel H-bridge driver working mode creates higher working efficiency,L298N as main chip.Can drive one 2-phase stepper motor, one 4-phase stepper motor or two DC motors. To avoid damage the voltage stabilizing chip, please use an external 5V logic supply when using more than 12V driving voltage. Use large-capacity filter capacitors and diode with freewheeling protection function, increasing reliability. High working power to 35v,large current can reach 3A MAX and continue current is 2A, power to 25w. Large capacity filter capacitance,afterflow protection diode, more stable and reliable.

Read the configuration info

Works fine but no instructions and you'll want to yell for help online when it doesn't work properly initially. If you want to power this from the same 5V supply from your Arduino you will need to remove the single jumper across the other pins. You also need to leave jumpers on both sides. Finally, make sure you send VCC through the left terminal. Discovering these requirements was like trying to decipher a combination lock. In terms of quality, the heat sink is nice and big, but makes it a bit

Not the latest technology but works great for my application

Must be used to control a stepper motor in both single step and "continuous" mode. It doesn't microstep (which I don't want), but its enable inputs allow PWM to be used to reduce the magnetic field duty cycle, greatly limiting stepper motor heat and noise. It doesn't automatically turn off motor power when you're not using it, but you can do it in software (which I do), the heatsink barely heats up with a NEMA 23 stepper motor. It's built into the water treatment system anyway for microdosing…

Pros
  • Controls and Indicators
Cons
  • Crumpled Packaging

Good but not great

I almost gave this unit 3 stars but due to its reliability I decided to give 4. This thing works great with raspberry pis. I've used them to drive motors and LEDs (they're PWM after all) and they work great. The build quality of some of them is questionable so I think quality control is a bit lacking, but they all seem to work. The only real complaint I have is the 5V DC regulator. A common use case for them is controlling motors with microcontrollers (or Raspis) and using the 5V output on them
