Product Overview
The A4988 is a complete microstepping motor driver with a built-in translator for easy operation. It allows you to control a bipolar stepper motor using only two pins from your controller: one for controlling the step direction and the other for the steps. This module is the “gold standard” for DIY 3D printers, CNC machines, and robotic arms.

-
VMOT / GND: External Power (8V – 35V) for the motor.
-
VDD / GND: Arduino 5V / GND for logic.
-
STEP: Arduino Digital Pin (controls speed).
-
DIR: Arduino Digital Pin (controls direction).
-
1A, 1B, 2A, 2B: Connect to Stepper Motor coils.
-
ENABLE: Connect to GND to turn the driver on.
