If you are building a project that needs to control stepper motors wirelessly you might be interested in a new piece of hardware created by the team at Good Robotics which takes the form of the aptly named Wi-Fi Stepper. watch the demonstration video below to learn more about the features of the module which is perfect for Internet of Things, robotics, home automation and other projects. The Wi-Fi Stepper module is now available to purchase priced from $59.
“Wi-Fi Stepper is a feature-packed, easy-to-use, stepper motor controller accessible over Wi-Fi. It can handle small to big stepper motors under high current. You can send crypto-secured commands over Wi-Fi from a computer, phone, or any other platform. Integration with other controllers is possible using the step clock and direction input pins. Wi-Fi Stepper makes controlling a stepper motor easy and productive.”
