So check out this list of 10 best motor drivers for arduino and let us know your favourite arduino driver in the comments section. Our stepper motor drivers offer adjustable current control and multiple step resolutions, and they feature builtin translators that allow a stepper motor to be controlled with simple step and direction inputs. If you are using a bipolar stepper motor it makes sense to use a proper stepper motor driver board such as the pololu a4988. Tb6600 stepper motor driver controller 4a 942v ttl 16. For a long time ive considered stepper motors too complicated. It is compatible with arduino and other microcontrollers that can output a 5v digital pulse signal. Here it is appropriate to be explicit as to what type of stepper motor leads you may find as a maker, as this information is necessary. Im having trouble finding example codes that work at all, or when they do work and something happens, i have no idea if the motor is spinning the way it is supposed to. It is based on an atmega1281 mcu, a family member of the at. They have gearboxes to increase torque and reduce the mechanical step. The encoder we use here give out 24 stepsrevolution.
