This is a MP6500 Stepper Motor Driver Carrier. This stepper motor driver lets you control one bipolar up to approximately 1.5 A per phase continuously without a heat sink or forced air flow. This breakout board for the MPS MP6500 micro stepping bipolar stepper motor driver has a pinout and interface that are very similar to that of our popular A4988 carriers so it can be used as a drop-in replacement for those boards in many applications. The MP6500 Stepper Motor Driver Carrier offers up to 1/8-step micro stepping, operates from 4.5 V to 35 V, and can deliver up to approximately 1.5 A per phase continuously without a heat sink or forced air flow (up to 2.5 A peak). This MP6500 Stepper Motor Driver Carrier version of the board uses an on-board trimmer potentiometer for setting the current limit, and the board ships with 0.1″ male header pins included but not soldered in.

Features:

1. Simple step and direction control interface
2. Four different step resolutions: full-step, half-step, 1/4-step, and 1/8-step
3. Adjustable current control lets you set the maximum current output, which lets you use voltages above your stepper motor’s rated voltage to achieve higher step rates
4. Potentiometer Current Control uses an on-board trimmer potentiometer to set the current limit up to 2.5 A
   • with header pins included but not soldered
   • with header pins soldered
5. Internal current sensing allows the driver to automatically adjust the decay mode as necessary to provide the smoothest current waveform
6. 4.5 V to 35 V supply voltage range
7. Can deliver 1.5 A per phase continuously without additional cooling

Package Includes:

1. 1 x Pololu MP6500 Stepper Motor Driver Carrier, Potentiometer Current Control
