Gorillacell Module 070: Stepper Motor
Table of Contents
Stepper Motor, also known as a Step Motor, is a DC motor that divides a full rotation into a series of discrete steps. Each step corresponds to a fixed angular movement, allowing for precise control of position and speed without requiring feedback systems. Stepper motors are commonly used in applications such as 3D printers, CNC machines, and robotic positioning systems.
The Gorillacell ESP32 Development Kit includes one (1) generic Stepper Motor, a Stepper Motor Driver Board powered by the A4988 motor driver chip, and a 9V external power supply for the driver board.

PINOUT
It has 4 pins which are
- GND- for the ground pin,
- VCC- for the supply voltage,
- DIR- for controlling the direction of rotation (1 = clockwise, 0 = counter clockwise), and
- STEP- for controlling the micro steps of the stepper motor.
