designed to work with the popular GRBL open source firmware for controlling CNC and laser machines.\u00a0 We have been very involved in the evolution of GRBL and this shield\/breakout board is a simple and effective way to control a machine with GRBL.\u00a0 It offers easy to connect pinout for all signals and JST connectors for the more well used signals.<\/p>\n<p>The board has these features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>4 Standard stepper board pinout carriers.<\/li>\n<li>Ability to select clone axis for multiple motor use.<\/li>\n<li>Noise suppression limit switch connections.<\/li>\n<li>Screw terminal and JST connectors for easy hookup.<\/li>\n<li>Reset select for either GRBL reset or Arduino Reset.<\/li>\n<li>Works with GRBL 1.1f and Laser Mode<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The board has 4 slots for stepper drivers.\u00a0 It comes included with DRV8825 stepper drivers using the Texas Instruments DRV8825 motor driver chip.<\/p>\n<p>Stepper Driver Features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>45 V maximum supply voltage<\/li>\n<li>Six different step resolutions: full-step, half-step, 1\/4-step, 1\/8-step, 1\/16-step, and 1\/32-step<\/li>\n<li>Adjustable current limit setting with potentiometer<\/li>\n<li>Over-temperature thermal shutdown, over-current shutdown, and under-voltage lockout<\/li>\n<li>Short-to-ground and shorted-load protection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<table width=\"607\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"233\"><strong>Specifications<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"373\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"233\">Minimum Operating
