SHILLEHTEK ULN2003 Stepper Motor for Arduino Raspberry Pi 5V

This is my first attempt at controlling a stepper motor with an Arduino. Most of my other projects involved controlling relay boards or arrays of LED's. But, like most other things related to Arduino's, it's very easy to connect and use this device. I've found several tutorials on line showing how to control this. Most of them even give some simple code.With that in mind, I can imagine this would be super easy to incorporate into a robot or some other articulating project.

We got this to drive the gear assembly in our 3D printed telescope sky tracker. It's been great and hasn't had any issues. No unusual lashing or loose fitment, everything is perfect. Got our control board programmed and this wired in, mounted, and it's been driving it as expected for several months now. Couldn't be happier and it's cheap enough to get more for other projects.

This is a phase stepper motor driver board that I'm currently configuring with an Arduino for a project I've been working on for some time now. Very well priced and packaged, and the quality of everything from the housing to the wire soldering was professional and well done. Will be getting from here again in short order...

Good stuff! Easy to control with a microcontroller and external power supply. There are tons of demos you can find online. I used Arduino IDE and sample code. Being 4 phases, this is a lot smoother and more precise than a bipolar or unipolar motor. The only real downside is they're a little trickier to drive and use a little more power. This conveniently comes with a driver board, so you really just need external power and you're good to go.

I am brand new to playing with things like this, so if you are an expert, you should look for other reviews. However, if you are new to this type of thing, this product is a good place to start. The pairing of the two items reduces your need to research any compatibility issues. And, the solid available documentation for ULN2003 makes it easy to get started.

A good kit for learning the basics of controlling a stepper motor (the included motor is a 28BYJ-48, which for some reason is not mentioned in the product listing). Minus one star because it doesn’t come with any docs—even a tiny piece of paper with a URL to docs would have been nice. Luckily, if you do a search you can find docs and guides to using both the controller and stepper.[Disclosure: I received this product for “free”—in quotes because the IRS considers the item’s retail value as taxable income for federal income tax purposes.

This stepper motor driver combo works as expected. I searched for a basic starter project and, in short order, was able to have it working. It is cool to be able to start crossing that digital-to-physical divide. This is a great way to get started with stepper motors.

This ULN2003 driver board and 28BYJ-48 stepper motor combo is perfect for small DIY projects, giving you precise control in a compact setup. It works easily with the stepper.h library, making integration into Arduino projects a breeze. Tons of tutorials are available if you search for the part numbers, but it would’ve been nice to have some basic documentation to at least point you in the right direction. The motor runs smoothly with decent torque for lightweight tasks, making it a solid choice for simple builds.

This motor and board work great! It's a surprisingly strong stepper motor, easy to integrate with my Arduino, and most of all, it's listed at <$8. That alone makes it a great deal, especially if you're working on a hobby project that requires multiple steppers.If you're looking at this review, that means you need a stepper motor, and if it's a 4-phase hobby motor, you found it.

The ShillehTek 5V 4-Phase Stepper Motor with ULN2003 Driver Board is a solid choice for DIY projects. Its precise control contributed to the success of my robotic arm project, ensuring accurate movements. Integration with Arduino was straightforward, and the motor's robust performance was impressive. It's suitable for various automation projects, offering reliability and user-friendly operation. Highly recommend for those looking to innovate efficiently.
