Broken Stepper Motor Hat, Jeston Nano Onboard Dual.

The board is not working properly. The 1st driver (DRV8825) works fine, but the 2nd driver does not send the correct signal to the stepper motor. I have replaced the raspberry pi, stepper motor and cables, the same problem keeps repeating itself. I swapped the driver. This is much worse and a waste of money.

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Instructions are useless

I don't know how to use it! There are no chart instructions. Anyone know how to connect this? Very solid board but it doesn't help me if I can't build it up

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Crumpled

Could never get it to work

Spent days trying to get this thing to respond. Libraries loaded, pi boot reconfigured. Just blocks the engine and sits there. The instructions are partly in English, which in itself is a bit of a mystery. Tried both connections on two different stepper motors. Also set all switches to 0 and back to "1". I've never had a completely useless Pi product, so I kept trying. It's only $21, so not a big loss. If you try, good luck!

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Unreliable

Works great for computer components

Once I found out that the microstepping dip switches that come from the factory are set to 1 (no software control, fixed at 1/32 microstepping) and after setting them to 0 changed (allows software control; full pitch by default), the hat works fine with a NEMA 17 motor which I tried with the Python driver and test software.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Can't use software to control microstepping

This HAT seems to work fine EXCEPT with my Raspberry Pi Zero I can't set microstepping via software Permanently setting microstepping via hardware DIP switches works perfect. No response from Waveshare tech support (yet).[EDIT] Finally an email from Waveshare. What the HAT manual doesn't mention are the following steps to control microstepping via software: (1) On the back of the HAT PCB, solder wires to the two pins of each of the six resistors located next to the DIP Switches that bypassโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Not everything fits
