It looks like it should work but you would need to adjust the drivers. I don’t have one so I can’t say for certain but it is a 4 wire stepper

@ajb2k3
Thank you very much.

I hope to get some wires sorted out soon so I can see if I manage to get the module working on a "printer" (2D drawings)

My pleasure

I have several sets of stepper motor wires but none that fit in the stepper module

yes the nema 17 will be fine.

I'm sure that the m5 will receive power from the module but i'm not certain.
you will need external power to the module to power the stepper.

NEMA 17 MOTOR

can I use this motor with the step motor module?

can I power the core and the module with 12v ?

Don't connect any steppers when calibrating it!

Ebay link?

NEMA 17 MOTOR

@ajb2k3 said in Step Motor Module:

Calibration is done via the tiny silver round thing on the individual stepper driver.

thanks a lot !!

something like this ?

You will need to adjust the drivers as they are not calibrated by default.

How can I calibrate the drivers?

I have shared my sample code but my documentation need big work.

Just make sure to use an external power supply
