StepStick A4988 Stepper Driver Module Pololu - Reprap, Prusa, Mendel(clone)

Description: This product is a carrier board or breakout board for Allegro's A4988 DMOS Microstepping Driver with Translator and Overcurrent Protection ; we therefore recommend careful reading of the A4988 datasheet before using this product. This stepper motor driver lets you to operate bipolar stepper motors in full-, half-, quarter-, eighth-, and sixteenth-step modes, with anoutput drive capacity of up to 35 V and 2 A.The A4988 interface is an ideal fit for applications where a complex microprocessor isunavailable or is overburdened.There are no phasesequence tables, high frequency control lines, or complex interfaces to program. Features: * Short-to-ground and shorted-load protection * Adjustable current control * Intelligent chopping control * Over-temperature thermal shutdown * Under-voltage lockout * Crossover-current protection * Simple step and direction control interface * Full-step, Half-step, Quarter-step, Eighth-step, and Sixteenth-step
