Some soldering is required to assemble the headers on. NOTE: Feather and motors are not included.Ĭomes with an assembled & tested FeatherWing, terminal blocks & plain header.
Download the easy-to-use Arduino software library, check out the examples and you're ready to go!. Completely stackable design: 5 address-select jumper pads means up to 32 stackable wings: that's 64 steppers or 128 DC motors! What on earth could you do with that many steppers? I have no idea but if you come up with something send us a photo because that would be a pretty glorious project. Polarity protected 2-pin terminal block and jumper to connect external power, for separate logic/motor supplies. Big 3.5mm terminal block connectors to easily hook up wires (18-26AWG) and power. Motors automatically disabled on power-up. Up to 2 stepper motors (unipolar or bipolar) with single coil, double coil, interleaved or micro-stepping.
Up to 4 bi-directional DC motors with individual 12-bit speed selection (so, about 0.02% resolution).
4 full H-Bridges: the TB6612 chipset provides 1.2A per bridge with thermal shutdown protection, internal kickback protection diodes. You can stack it with any other FeatherWing or with itself (just make sure you have each wing with a unique I2C address). Since the FeatherWing only uses the I2C (SDA & SCL pins), it works with any and all Feathers. Using Adafruit's Feather Stacking Headers or Feather Female Headers you can connect a FeatherWing on top or bottom of your Feather board and let the board take flight! A Feather board without ambition is a Feather board without FeatherWings! This is the DC Motor + Stepper FeatherWing which will let you use 2 x bi-polar stepper motors or 4 x brushed DC motors (or 1 stepper and 2 DC motors).
