[Alpha le ciel] is building this stepper motor module as the first of many Raspberry Pi hats meant to provide the Raspi with the hardware for robotics applications.

Rather than having the host Pi communicate directly with the stepper drivers, the 3+Pi features an onboard STM32F302CBT6 that handles the actual motor control.

The new DC and Stepper Motor HAT for Raspberry Pi is now available to purchase for $22.50 and has been designed to allow makers to construct their robotic dreams.

Push the L293D motor controller into the breadboard, then connect your jumper wires to the pins on the Pi and on the breadboard (see the diagram below).

The Raspberry Pi stepper motor and DC bonnet supports all Raspberry Pi computers with a 2×20 connection port and you can even stack multiple motor bonnets enabling you to use up to 32 for ...
