An open-source hardware project providing compact closed-loop stepper motor drivers for NEMA form factor motors, with schematics, PCB files, and firmware options like SimpleFOC. It offers precise 0.01° position control, silent operation, and interfaces such as USB, CAN-FD, UART, I2C, and SPI.

Use cases

• drive a NEMA17 stepper motor with closed-loop position control
• build a CNC machine with precise motor positioning
• add silent smooth motion to a 3D printer
• control robot joints with encoder feedback
• build a camera or telescope stabilization mount
• learn FOC motor control on real hardware
• implement force feedback haptics with stepper motors

When to choose

• you need precise closed-loop control of NEMA stepper motors
• you want open-source hardware you can modify or manufacture yourself
• you need compact drivers with CAN-FD, USB, or UART interfaces
• you want silent, energy-efficient stepper operation for robotics or CNC

When to avoid

• you need a commercial license for products - the design is CC BY-NC-SA (non-commercial)
• you need a turnkey off-the-shelf driver rather than a board you assemble or source
• you need firmware support beyond SimpleFOC - the TunePulse firmware is still unreleased
• you need to drive motors other than NEMA form factor steppers or small BLDCs
