ULN2003 Stepper Motor Driver Module (SMD Version)

ULN2003 Stepper Motor Driver Module for 28BYJ-48

Get started with stepper motors the easy way with the 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.

The module is based on the ULN2003 Darlington array IC, which provides enough current to drive the small 28BYJ-48 motor directly from a 5V power source. A key feature of this board 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: ULN2003 Darlington Array
• 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.
