Makeblock Me Stepper Motor Driver

The Me Stepper Driver V1.0 is an easy-to-use stepper motor driver board based on the A4988 chip, generally used to drive bipolar stepper motors precisely. It is perfect for 3D printing, CNC, Makeblock Music Robot, as well as many other applications where precise movement control is necessary.

The A4988 is a complete microstepping motor driver with a built-in translator for easy operation. It is designed to operate bipolar stepper motors in full, half, quarter, eighth, and sixteenth-step modes. Additionally, it features an on-board DIP switch and a potentiometer, allowing you to easily change step modes and motor current.

Features:

• A4988 stepper driver chip
• Compatible with 4-wire bipolar stepper motors
• A potentiometer to control the current of the stepper motor
• An on-board DIP switch (2 POS SIDE ACTUATED) supporting full, half, quarter, eighth, and sixteenth-step modes
• A built-in fuse protects the board and chip from overcurrent or any shortages
• An on-board heat sink aiding heat dissipation, allowing driver chip current up to 1.35A

Easy to use:

• Comes with an Arduino library for easy programming
• A power indicator
• Easy wiring with a 6-pin RJ25 interface
