This compact controller from Things by Josh brings that stack together in one unit designed to mount directly to the back of a standard NEMA 17 stepper motor.Power comes in via USB-C Power Delivery, allowing the board to negotiate high-voltage power from a standard USB-C PD charger and drive a stepper motor with up to 50W. The same USB-C connection keeps the setup tidy for power and programming.Onboard hardware includes an ESP32-S3 for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® control, a Trinamic TMC2209 stepper driver, and an AS5600 magnetic rotary position sensor for closed-loop positioning. It also includes a Qwiic connector and auxiliary ports for adding compatible sensors, displays, relays and other expansion hardware without soldering.The board is built as a compact, complete NEMA 17 motion-control module, with aluminium heatsinks and a polycarbonate cover for protection. Documentation includes a Getting Started Guide, GitHub project page and a write-up on building a USB PD powered stepper driver.Features:Wireless Control: Powered by an ESP32-S3, providing ample processing power along with built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth®. This opens the door to wireless control, IoT integration, and easy use with platforms like ESPHome and ESP-NOW.Silent Operation: Features the renowned Trinamic TMC2209 driver. Famous for its ultra-silent operation (stealthChop™) and high efficiency, it also supports sensorless homing, eliminating the need for external limit switches.Closed-Loop Precision: An onboard AS5600 magnetic rotary encoder provides absolute angle measurement. This enables true closed-loop control, ensuring your motor never loses a step and is positioned exactly where you want it.Easy Expansion: Includes a Qwiic connector, giving you instant, solderless access to the vast SparkFun Qwiic ecosystem. Easily add sensors, displays, or relays to your motion project without soldering a single pin.Specifications:Stepper motor driver: TMC2209 Stepper Motor DriverPower: USB-C PD PowerForm factor: Compact form factor, designed to fit on the back of a standard NEMA 17 stepper motorRotary position sensor: Onboard Rotary Position Sensor (AS5600 magnetic rotary position sensor)Microcontroller: ESP32-S3 microcontrollerExpansion: Qwiic connector and auxiliary ports for easy expansionBuck converter: Onboard 3.3V buck converterTemperature input: Input for motor temperature measurementA neat choice for precision motion projects such as camera sliders, automated feeders and smart window openers where compact wiring and integrated control matter. **Product Type:** Stepper Motor Controller ## Images - [Image 1](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDm8cCSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--b68fdf0046d58c495d7e9f3d54a633122586752f/30118-action-2.jpg) - [Image 2](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDnMcCSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--cc3d3e0d7bf20a1e1398dd43c121ac16ff82d93c/30118-pd-stepper-kit-Feature.jpg) - [Image 3](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDn8cCSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--817a56dbd0601aa0e6a54a0ec4d8c15eccc02c44/30118-pd-stepper-kit-Front.jpg) - [Image 4](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDoMcCSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--e8cf411e9fcd7bb9633a66d895b961c1344c0bdf/30118-pd-stepper-kit-Board-front.jpg) - [Image 5](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDoscCSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--0d8e0b687bd5060fd7b655f89e019a749b041825/30118-pd-stepper-kit-board-back.jpg) - [Image 6](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDo8cCSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--0f2b20602d7c13318a66e7816062bae645a2295b/30118-pd-stepper-kit-Board-and-case.jpg) - [Image 7](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDpccCSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--de4ba1c870b77a93f075d51f2d1219615827bc09/30118-action-3.jpg) - [Image 8](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDqMcCSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--379df8b7afe03d369a5262126d5b58406e66d242/30118-pd-stepper-kit-Cables.jpg) --- ## Finding & Searching Products If a part listed here isn't quite what you need, you can search Little Bird Electronics' full catalogue: - **Search by keyword:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.md?q={search_term}` — searches title, vendor, SKU, tags, and MPN - **Search via JSON:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.json?q={search_term}` — structured JSON results - **Browse by collection:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/collections/{handle}.json` — products in a specific collection - **Filter in-stock only:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.md?q={term}&in_stock=1` - **Individual product detail:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products/{handle}.md` — full specs, pricing, stock levels, variants Search supports multi-word queries (AND logic).
