Waveshare Stepper Motor HAT for Raspberry Pi, Dual DRV8825

Description

The Waveshare Stepper Motor HAT is engineered for robust and precise motor control in Raspberry Pi and Jetson Nano projects. Equipped with dual DRV8825 motor driver chips, this HAT enables simultaneous control of two stepper motors. It supports a comprehensive range of microstepping modes, from full step down to 1/32-step, ensuring exceptionally smooth and accurate motion control critical for applications like robotics, CNC machinery, and 3D printing.

Users can fine-tune the motor drive current up to 2.5A via an onboard potentiometer, accommodating various stepper motor specifications. Built-in protection features including Over Current Protection (OCP), Thermal Shutdown (TSD), and Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO) safeguard both the HAT and connected motors during operation. Additionally, an integrated 5V regulator allows the HAT to power the connected Raspberry Pi directly, streamlining power management and reducing overall hardware complexity. Comprehensive development resources and programming examples are available to facilitate rapid project integration.
