Post by jliu317 »

Any stepper motor shields out there that's able to drive a low power 3V 80mA stepper motor?

negative. it failed to drive my low power stepper motor with 18 steps / revolution as opposed to 200 steps for regular larger stepper motors. If you read the faq for this motor shield it is for larger, bulkier motors at 4.5V and above.

The FAQ is referring to brushed DC motors.
Please post full specifications for your motor.
