This is a One axis micro-stepping bi-polar PWM current regulated stepper motor driver. It can be configured to
deliver up to ±2.5 Amps/phase up to a maximum of 30 Volts (including BEMF). The drive has built-in TVS (transient
voltage suppression) that will help protect the device from voltage spikes in the 30+ volt range (typically caused
by a disconnected motor while powered up). The drive is not warranted to withstand such treatment
The axis is jumper selectable to operate in either FULL, HALF, QUARTER or EIGHTH step modes. For a typical 1.8°
(200 spr) stepper motor, this means up to 1,600 steps per revolution (16,000 steps per inch if driving a 10 tpi
lead screw). The drive is shipped in 1/8th step mode. Additional jumpers required if lower resolution wanted..
The axis has a potentiometer to allow maximum motor current drive adjustment.
The signal screw terminals can be directly connected to a PC's parallel port (or through a break-out board) to
drive the boards STEP and DIRECTION input signals.
The axis has an ENA# pin to allow enabling/disabling of the motor current-drivers.

Before using the device, the potentiometers must be set for proper current output, which requires the use of your
voltage/multimeter! When running at High Current (generally 2.0A/phase or above), convective cooling (fan) required.

The stepper motor drive is also sometimes known as a stepper motor controller. Drive
is more appropriate, as a PC is generally used to control the board.
