      Hi,

      I'm looking for a driver card for NEMA 17 motors (59Ncm).
      Is this one suitable? https://www.oyostepper.com/goods-887-5PCSPack-DRV8825-Stepper-Driver-Module-with-Heat-Sink-for-3d-Printer-Reprap.html
      Or do you have any other recommendations? The most important thing is that the price should be right, that is, not too expensive. Because I need four of them.

      Adjustable microstepping is also important. The board in the example above is also suitable. It looks like this.

      What do you say?

        @Jesse25 The DRV8825-based module you linked is suitable for NEMA 17 motors (59Ncm) as it supports adjustable microstepping (up to 1/32) and can handle typical NEMA 17 current requirements.
        M5Stack offers compatible options:

        Module13.2 GRBL (SKU:M035) with DRV8825, 1.5A max current, 1/32 microstepping via dip switches, and stackable for multi-axis control.
        Atomic Stepmotor Base (SKU:A132) with DRV8825, 1.2A max current, and adjustable microstepping via dip switch, designed for ATOM series controllers.

        Both support adjustable microstepping and balance performance with cost-effectiveness for multiple units.
