Description
STEPMOTOR is used for stepper motor control. It is perfect for any motion project as it can drive up to 3 Stepper motors with GRBL control.
It is built with MEGA328P has been flashed GRBL firmware. The module comunicates with M5Core via I2C(0x70)
Integrated 3 DRV8825, a simple but very powerful board that can control one bipolar stepper motor at the time and allows micro stepping up to 1/32 of a step.

- 3-way stepper motors (X, Y, Z)
Kit includes
- 1x Step Motor Module
- 12V Power (Optional)
- 1x 5V FAN Module for heat dissipation (Optional)
Applications
- DIY 3D Printer

Wire.requestFrom(STEPMOTOR_I2C_ADDR, 1); if (Wire.available() > 0) { int u = Wire.read(); if (u != 0) Serial.write(u); } // Send Data to Module. while (Serial.available() > 0) { int inByte = Serial.read(); SendByte(STEPMOTOR_I2C_ADDR, inByte); } 2.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- I2C
- I2C is a two-wire communication bus used by many sensors and small modules. It matters because several I2C devices can share the same two wires, but each device needs a compatible address and your controller must support I2C.
- IDE
- Short for Integrated Development Environment, a program used to write, run and manage code. It matters because some learners prefer a traditional coding workspace instead of a guided notebook-style lesson.
- servo
- A servo is a motor with built-in position control, usually told to move to a specific angle by a control signal. It matters when you need repeatable movement, such as steering, arms, flaps, or linkages, rather than continuous spinning.
