Shield V3 with 4x DRV8825 Stepper Motor Drivers

The Shield V3 is an ideal expansion board for 3D printing and CNC engraving projects. It comes with 4 DRV8825 drivers, each with a heatsink, allowing for precise and efficient stepper motor control. Its compact design and versatile configuration options make it perfect for any application requiring advanced motor control.

Features

• Compatibility: Compatible with the latest version 0.9 of GRBL, transforming G-code commands into stepper signals.
• 4-Axis Support: Controls X, Y, Z, and A axes, with the option to duplicate axes or add a full fourth axis.
• Coolant Control: Includes a coolant enable pin for use with CNC machines.
• Swappable Drivers: Compatible with A4988 and DRV8825 stepper drivers, easily removable and replaceable.
• Configurable Microstepping: Jumpers to set microstepping resolution up to 1/32 (depending on the driver).
• Connection Options: Connect stepper motors with Molex pins or solder in place.
• Operating Voltage: 12-36V DC (Note: Only DRV8825 drivers can handle up to 36V).
