Description: 1. Overview: The A4988 Stepper Motor Driver Module with Heat Sink is a high-performance driver specifically designed for controlling 2-phase stepper motors in 3D printing applications. It utilizes the Texas Instruments (TI) A4988 microcontroller IC. 2. Compatibility: This module supports stepper motors with a maximum voltage of 40V and a current up to 2A, making it suitable for most common 3D printer setups. The included heat sink helps dissipate excessive heat generated during operation. 3. Features: Key features include precise microstepping (up to 1/32 step), adjustable acceleration and deceleration, and the ability to drive multiple motors through separate channels. It also comes with an LED indicator for status monitoring. 4. Microcontroller: The A4988 is a dual full-bridge driver that can be programmed via its onboard control pins. It supports various microstepping modes (full-step, half-step, and microstepping) to achieve accurate motor control. 5. Connectivity: Four screw
