Great sensor, configured but no documentation

I bought this for a university class. The best part is that no soldering is required, everything is neat and ready to be connected to an Arduino or Raspberry Pi like I did in the photo. The bad thing is that there is documentation or lack thereof. That's why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5. I was able to record instant data like temperature and humidity, but like printing, it wasn't all that easy. In general, if you only need it for those sensors (temperature and humidity), go ahead. thatโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Standard Raspberry Pi 40PIN GPIO expansion connector, supports Raspberry Pi and Jetson Nano serial boards
Cons
  • Clarity

Start Failed

I've spent three days trying everything I can think of. I've tried many other motor drivers with both Raspberry Pi and Arduino and never had so many headaches. The documentation is bad. After all, I've never managed to get a stepper motor to spin; he just twitched back and forth. [Using Raspberry Pi 4B]

Pros
  • Motor Drive Voltage: 8.2-28V Motor Drive Current: 2.5A Logic Voltage: 3.3V
Cons
  • Weak Set

Suitable for environmental monitoring

Connected to my Raspberry Pi and the example code works without any modifications. One day the developers gave me a written license for the code, modified it to monitor Nagios and it worked like clockwork.

Pros
  • Protection features: Over Current Protection (OCP), Thermal Shutdown (TSD), VM Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO). Integrates a 5V regulator, allows powering the Raspberry Pi. Embedded multi-connector options for stepper motors of different specifications.
Cons
  • The cable is shorter than the others
