Pololu item #: 5340
Brand: Pololu supply outlook
Status: Active and Preferred 
RoHS 3 compliant
Out of stock.
Quantity:

This is a carrier board for Allegro’s A5984 microstepping bipolar stepper motor driver. It offers eight different microstep resolutions (down to 1/32-step) and has over-current and over-temperature protection, and it features an adaptive decay algorithm that automatically optimizes the motor current waveform. This version has an adjustable current limit that can be set with an on-board potentiometer and a four-layer PCB for better thermal performance, allowing it to deliver up to approximately 1.2 A continuous per phase without a heat sink or forced air flow (2 A peak).

Pololu item #: 5341
Brand: Pololu supply outlook
Status: Active and Preferred 
RoHS 3 compliant
Out of stock.
Quantity:

This version is item #5340 with soldered header pins, so no soldering is required to use it with an appropriate 16-pin socket or solderless breadboard. It has an adjustable current limit that can be set with an on-board potentiometer and a four-layer PCB for better thermal performance, allowing it to deliver up to approximately 1.2 A continuous per phase without a heat sink or forced air flow (2 A peak).

Pololu item #: 5344
Brand: Pololu supply outlook
Status: Active and Preferred 
RoHS 3 compliant
Out of stock.
Quantity:

This is a carrier board for Allegro’s A5984 microstepping bipolar stepper motor driver. It offers eight different microstep resolutions (down to 1/32-step) and has over-current and over-temperature protection, and it features an adaptive decay algorithm that automatically optimizes the motor current waveform.
