Alternatively, the board can be used to power a stepper motor. The board features the DRV8833 motor driver IC, which has built-in short circuit, over current and thermal protection.  \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlease note,\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e  when used with a stepper motor, half-stepping is supported - but not micro-stepping.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe board has 4 external connections to GPIO pins and a 3V and GND supply from the Pico. This allows for additional IO options for your buggy builds that can be read or controlled by the Pico. In addition, there is an on\/off switch and power status LED, allowing you to see at a glance if the board is powered up and save your batteries when your project is not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo use the motor driver board, the Pico should have a soldered pin header and be inserted firmly into the connector. The board produces a regulated supply that is fed into the 40-way connector to power the Pico, removing the need to power the Pico directly. The motor driver board is powered via either screw terminals or a servo-style connector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKitronik has developed a micro-python module and sample code to support the use of the Motor Driver board with the Pico.
