Motor driver

You want to make a cool robot, maybe a hexapod walker, or maybe just a piece of art with a lot of moving parts. Or maybe you want to drive a lot of LEDs with precise PWM output. Then you realize that your microcontroller has a limited number of PWM outputs! What now? You could give up OR you could just get this handy PWM and Servo driver breakout.

Description: This is a simple ULN2003 IC based stepper motor module. It can drive 4 phase stepper motor and also indicate active phase through LEDs. It requires 5 to 12 volts to power the motor. Attach a 5 wire stepper motor one side and microcontroller digital pins on other side (IN1-IN4) and you are ready to control stepper motor. This module requires 5v/0v logic level to turn on/off corresponding output pin. Additionally it has a jumper which can be removed to switch off the module. Just connect a relay in place of jumper to control module switching through microcontroller.
