Stepper Motor Controller

EmbedCore Stepper Controller

EmbedCore Stepper Controller is a compact, high-performance stepper motor driver designed to mount directly onto the back of a NEMA 17 motor with the appropriate enclosure. It features an ESP32-S3 microcontroller for advanced control and connectivity. The design has been not tested, but it will be tested soon.
