M34

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.

• Driver chip: L298N dual H-bridge driver chip
• Power Supply VMS: +5V - +35V
• Drive Current: 2A / channel
• Logical part of the terminal supply area Vss :4.5-5.5V
• Logical part of the operating current range: 0 - 36mA
• Control signal input voltage range: 4.5-5.5V is high level, 0V is low level
• Maximum power consumption: 20W

This tiny board is an easy way to use Toshiba’s TB6612FNG dual motor driver, which can independently control two bidirectional DC motors or one bipolar stepper motor. A recommended motor voltage of 4.5 V to 13.5 V and peak current output of 3 A per channel (1 A continuous) make this a great motor driver for low-power motors.
