Dear Adafruit,
I ordered two stepper shields and I happen to have a few of these steppers laying arround and I was wondering whether they would work, or what is needed to make them work. In the description of the motor shield it says that most low voltage motors won't work. Why is that?
Model: 17HS4401N
Frame Size: Nema 17
Step Angle: 1.8 degree
Voltage: 3.4V
Currrent: 1.7A/phase
Resistance:2.0 Ohm/phase
Inductance:3.0mH/phase
Holiding Torque: 4000G-cm=40N.cm
Rotor inertia: 54 g.cm2
Detent torque: 0.22 kgcm
Leads Number:4
Weight: 0.24KG
Length: 40mm
Motor shaft:5mm
Thanks!
Titus

Re: Motor shield V2 with low voltage stepper
Low-voltage motors work best with a current-limiting 'chopper' drive:
