## Overview

The HiLetgo DRV8825 Stepper Motor Driver Module is a high-performance, compact driver designed for 3D printers and robotics. It supports up to 45V and 1.5A per phase without cooling, offers six microstepping resolutions down to 1/32-step, and features advanced protections including overcurrent and thermal shutdown. Its 4-layer copper PCB ensures superior heat dissipation, while compatibility with 3.3V and 5V systems makes it a versatile drop-in upgrade for A4988 drivers.

## Description

Description: The DRV8825 stepper motor driver carrier is a breakout board for DRV8825 microstepping bipolar stepper motor driver. The module has a pinout and interface that are nearly identical to those of our A4988 stepper motor driver board, so it can be used as a higher-performance drop-in replacement for those boards in many applications. The DRV8825 features adjustable current limiting, overcurrent and overtemperature protection, and six microstep resolutions (down to 1/32-step). It operates from 8.2 ¨C 45 V and can deliver up to approximately 1.5 A per phase without a heat sink or forced air flow (rated for up to 2.2 A per coil with sufficient additional cooling). Features: * Simple step and direction control interface * Six different step resolutions: full-step, half-step, 1/4-step, 1/8-step, 1/16-step, and 1/32-step * Adjustable current control lets you set the maximum current output with a potentiometer, which lets you use voltages above your stepper motor rated voltage to achieve higher step rates * 45 V maximum supply voltage * Built-in regulator (no external logic voltage supply needed) * Can interface directly with 3.3 V and 5 V systems * Over-temperature thermal shutdown, over-current shutdown, and under-voltage lockout * Short-to-ground and shorted-load protection* 4-layer, 2 oz copper PCB for improved heat dissipation * Exposed solderable ground pad below the driver IC on the bottom of the PCB *Module size, pinout, and interface match those of our A4988 stepper motor driver carriers in most respects (see the bottom of this page for more information) Package included: 5pcs DRV8825 Stepper Motor Driver Board

Review: Absolutely required to SET THE CURRENT LIMIT! - I bought 5 of these "DRV8825" step motor driver breakout boards. They all worked fine for me on 12V power, 16 micro-steps, and current limit set to 1 amp. However... you do need to set the current limit first thing, before trying to run the motor in your application. It appears that, as delivered, the current-setting potentiometer may be at some random position, which could easily be well above the max continuous amps/phase current specified for the motor or the DRV8825. If you just apply power without setting the current limit there's a good chance the current is set too high which will probably overheat the DRV8825 and fry it. I suspect this may be what's happening for some of the reviews where they report "the chip got hot after a few seconds and stopped working". Also, keep in mind the "DRV8825" chip supplied on these boards is a counterfit ''knockoff' of the actual TI part. It does appear to generally work OK for non-critical hobby use, but as reported in a couple of other reviews this knockoff chip does not meet many or all of the specifications of the TI part. Quick current set: Put the driver in your circuit, connected to the motor you are using. Apply power but don't try and make the motor move. Just measure the voltage on the metallic screw-top of the potentiometer. Current limit in amps = 2X the measured voltage. Example, if you measure 0.5 volts at the potentiometer the current limit will be set to 1.0 amps.
Review: Works fine - I'm using these in my projects now instead of the 4988 chips because you can get 1/32 stepping with these and it works. Do put the heatsink on because these do get hot. The labeling is a bit harder to read than the 4988 boards.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the umot pin for?**
A: I believe this is the VMOT pin. VMOT is the stepper motor supply. The Pololu specs show this voltage can be up to 45V DC.

**Q: Are they pre-soldered with the header pins?**
A: The top header isn’t but the bottom rails are as pictured.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super easy way to control a stepper.

I’ve gone through all 5 and ordered more. I use them in Arduino projects. Makes stepper motor control SO easy.
