ULN2003 Stepper Motor Driver Module (DIP Version)

ULN2003 Stepper Motor Driver Module (DIP Version)

Get started with stepper motors the easy way with the classic ULN2003 Stepper Motor Driver Module. This board is specifically designed to drive the popular 28BYJ-48 5V geared stepper motor, making it one of the most common and affordable motor control solutions for beginners and hobbyists.

This version of the board uses a robust, through-hole ULN2003AN Darlington array IC. Its key feature is the set of four onboard LEDs, which light up in sequence as the motor turns. This provides excellent visual feedback for understanding how a stepper motor works and for debugging your code.

With a simple 4-pin control interface and a dedicated 5-pin JST connector that plugs directly into the 28BYJ-48 motor, this driver eliminates any complex wiring. It’s the perfect tool for learning the fundamentals of stepper motor control with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontrollers.

Key Features:

• Driver Chip: ULN2003AN Darlington Array (DIP Package)
• Designed For: 28BYJ-48 5V Stepper Motor
• Operating Voltage: 5V – 12V DC
• Visual Feedback: 4 LEDs (A, B, C, D) indicate phase status
• Simple Interface: 4 control input pins (IN1, IN2, IN3, IN4)
• Easy Connection: Onboard 5-pin socket for direct motor connection

Applications:

This driver module is ideal for a wide range of beginner-friendly projects, including small robotic platforms, automated camera panners, motorized blinds, clock mechanisms, model-making, and any educational project aimed at teaching the principles of stepper motor operation.
