Notes:
If multiple modules are connected to the same power supply, the power supply must have enough current capacity for all connected modules.
Maximum resolution, including any integrated gear boxes. (i.e. 200 step motor with a 40:1 gear box)
Stepper Connection
Stepper Motor Connection
Each stepper motor connection consists of 4 pins. Two pins for each phase (or coil) in the stepper motor. The first two pins are for phase A. The next two pins are for phase B.

Stepper Home Signal
The home signal tells the module when the instrument pointer is at a known reference position. The module uses this reference position as a basis for all instrument pointer movements. The home position is signaled by a switch closure across the two home pins.
Never connect or disconnect a motor with power applied to the module. This may damage the module and/or the motor.
Do not connect a motor rated for less than the minimum current requirement. This may damage the motor.
Do not connect a motor rated for higher than the maximum voltage requirement. The motor may not move consistently or reliably.
Ensure the power supply has enough current capacity for all the modules it powers.
A 12v 3A AC/DC adapter is used with the Aces Stepper Module and must be purchased separately.
