Wiring & getting started

  1. Switch off every supply

    Disconnect motor power, logic power and USB before inserting the module.

  2. Match every pin label

    Confirm VM, GND, VIO, DIR, STEP and EN against the carrier board. Do not rely on the board outline alone.

  3. Fit the heatsink correctly

    Remove the blue protective film and place the flat adhesive base on the large gold thermal area on the reverse of the board.

  4. Choose the control mode

    Set the carrier-board jumpers and firmware for STEP/DIR or UART operation.

  5. Start conservatively

    Connect one winding to M1A/M1B and the other to M2A/M2B, begin at low current, and test with a short slow move.

Note: Never connect or disconnect motor windings while VM is powered. The 2 A figure is a supplier-stated maximum, not a continuous no-cooling target. Actual current capability depends on heatsink contact, airflow and the assembled machine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions buyers ask most.

Can I replace an A4988 or DRV8825 with this module?
The board uses the common 2 x 8, 2.54 mm plug-in format, but socket orientation and signal routing vary. Match every pin label against the carrier board before applying power.
Do I have to use UART?
No. The module can run from conventional STEP/DIR signals in standalone mode. UART is available when the carrier board and firmware are configured for it.
Where does the heatsink go?
Fit the flat adhesive base to the large gold thermal area on the reverse of the board. Remove the blue protective film first and keep the heatsink clear of pins and the current-adjust trimmer.
How much current can it supply?
The supplier states a 2 A maximum and recommends no more than 1.7 A. Actual usable current depends on heatsink contact, airflow, supply voltage and the assembled machine, so start conservatively and monitor temperature.
Which standalone microstep settings are available?
MS1 LOW and MS2 LOW selects 1/8; HIGH and HIGH selects 1/16; HIGH and LOW selects 1/32; LOW and HIGH selects 1/64. UART configuration can override standalone settings.
Can I connect the motor while the board is powered?
No. Switch off VM and logic power before connecting or disconnecting the motor, inserting the module, or changing carrier-board wiring.

Why Buy from NZN

Useful parts, fair prices and someone local to help.

I'm Lukas, an engineering student and maker based in Te Awamutu. NZN grew out of a CNC build that dragged on for months because every missing cable, bolt or electronic part meant another overseas order. I started the shop so Kiwi makers can spend more time building and less time waiting for the next parcel.
