SparkFun Big Easy Driver Stepper Motor Driver Board for bi-Polar Stepper Motors up to a max 2A/Phase Maximum Motor Drive Voltage of Around 30V Includes on-Board 5V/3.3V Regulation Allegro A4988 Chip
Product Description
SparkFun Big Easy Driver Stepper Motor Driver Board for bi-Polar Stepper Motors up to a max 2A/Phase Maximum Motor Drive Voltage of Around 30V Includes on-Board 5V/3.3V Regulation Allegro A4988 Chip
- Big Easy Driver: It was designed by Brian Schmalz as a stepper motor driver board to work with bi-polar stepper motors and is based on the Allegro A4988 stepper driver chip
- The Big Easy Driver can drive up to a max of 2A per phase of a bi-polar stepper motor - Defaulting to a 16 step microstepping mode with a maximum motor drive voltage of roughly 30V
- Features: Bi-polar Microstepping Driver, 2A/Phase Max, 1.4-1.7A/Phase w/o Heatsink, Max Motor Drive Voltage: 30V, On-board 5V/3.3V Regulation
- Although this board should be able to run most systems without active cooling while operating at 1.4-1.7A/phase, a heatsink is required for loads approaching 2A/phase.
- The potentiometer on board is included to allow users the ability to select the current provided to the motor. It ranges from 0mA to 2000mA (2A)
The Big Easy Driver is a stepper motor driver board for bi-polar stepper motors up to a max 2A/phase. It is based on the Allegro A4988 stepper driver chip. This is the next version of the popular Easy Driver board. Each Big Easy Driver can drive up to a max of 2A per phase of a bi-polar stepper motor. It is a chopper microstepping driver which defaults to 16 step microstepping mode. It can take a maximum motor drive voltage of around 30V, and includes on-board 5V/3.3V regulation, so only one supply is necessary. Although this board should be able to run most systems without active cooling while operating at 1.4-1.7A/phase, heatsink is required for loads approaching 2A/phase.
