✅ FAQs
❓ What is the difference between DRV8825 and A4988?
The DRV8825 supports higher current and up to 1/32 microstepping (vs 1/16 on A4988), providing smoother motion and better torque at low speeds.
❓ Can I use this with an Arduino?
Yes! It’s fully compatible with Arduino UNO, Mega, and RAMPS control boards. Logic level compatibility ensures stable integration.
❓ Do I need cooling for this driver?
Yes, especially if you’re drawing more than 1.5A. The included heat sink helps, and active cooling (like a fan) is recommended for continuous operation above 1.5A.
❓ Is it a plug-and-play replacement for A4988?
Yes, the DRV8825 has the same pinout as A4988 in most applications. Just make sure to adjust the current limit before use.
