1 min readNov 16, 2016
Ever wanted to know how to control a stepper motor by an Arduino? One solution is to use the A4988 microstepping driver. The A4988 is a microstepping driver for controlling bipolar stepper motors which has built-in translator for easy operation. This means that we can control the stepper motor with just 2 pins from our controller, or one for controlling the rotation direction and the other for controlling the steps. The article further details how to connect and control the popular NEMA17 stepper motor with this driver and an Arduino board.
