A stepper motor is a type of brushless DC motor that divides a full rotation into a number of steps, thus allowing for precise control of the motor’s position. The A4988 driver is a versatile stepper driver for controlling stepper motors for various applications. When combined with an Arduino UNO microcontroller, the A4988 can be used to control a stepper motor in […]
