Description
Controls one bipolar stepper motor at up to 2A output current per coil
Provides full-step, half-step, quarter-step, eigth-step and sixteenth-step resolutions
Intelligent chopping control to automatically select the correct current
Operating voltage: 8 to 35V
The 8-35V 2A Single Bipolar Stepper Motor Driver A4988 Black Edition is a higher-performance drop-in replacement for the original A4988 stepper motor driver carrier.
Easy to use on breadboard. Worked without the recommended 100uF cap for me, although your mileage may vary. Can get very hot to touch depending on the setting on the trim pot.

Works great
I hooked it to a NEMA-17 geared stepper and had no trouble interfacing to a raspberry pi. Very small PCB. I run the motor with a light load and board does not get hot. Not hard to solder in the two header strips if you need to. I ran wires to some holes, and put headers in the rest. Make sure you pull up the RESET pin, as it will float low and turn off the driver. Have not tried to adjust the current limiting pot, though I looked at the instructions and it seems a little complicated, but glad to have the flexibility built in.

Works great, but remember ramp up!!
After struggling with a stuttering stepper motor setup for months, this little driver finally worked fine. The crucial tip is don't forget about your startup velocity ramp. It has to be linear increase in speed (not linearly decrease in step period, which produces an exponential ramp up), and it has to be slow enough to accommodate your particular motor setup. That could save you needing to upgrade power supplies, motor torque, etc, as I did in vain.
