ESP8266 Serial Wi-Fi Interface

ESP8266 is a highly integrated chip designed for the needs of a new connected world. It
offers a complete and self-contained Wi-Fi networking solution, allowing it to either host the
application or to offload all Wi-Fi networking functions from another application processor.
ESP8266 has powerful on-board processing and storage capabilities that allow it to be
integrated with the sensors and other application specific devices through its GPIOs with
minimal development up-front and minimal loading during runtime. Its high degree of onchip integration allows for minimal external circuitry, and the entire solution, including
front-end module, is designed to occupy minimal PCB area.

Warnings:
This module requires a 3.3 volt supply for VCC, and 3.3V logic. It is not 5V tolant. Connect
RX or TX on 5V Arduino will
destroy this module. You must use a logic level converter, or a 3.3V Arduino
The 3.3V supply on the Arduino Uno has inadequate current capabilit to power this module.
You must provide a separate,
higher 3.3V supply(about 300mA or better)
The ESP8225 module is very new on the market and support and documentation for it is
currently very limited.

IIC (TWI) to LCD Interface

1. This is another great IIC/I2C/TWI/SPI Serial Interface. As the pin resources of Arduino controller
are limited, your project may be not able to use normal LCD shield after connected with a certain
quantity of sensors or SD card. However, with this I2C interface module, you will be able to
realize data display via only 2 wires. If you already has I2C devices in your project, this LCD
module actually cost no more resources at all. It is fantastic for Arduino based project.

2. I2C Address: 0X20~0X27 (the original address is 0X20,you can change it yourself)
3. Supply voltage: 5V
4. The backlight and contrast is adjusted by potentiometer
5. Come with 2 IIC interface, which can be connected by Dupont Line or IIC dedicated cable
6. I2C Address: 0x27 (I2C Address: 0X20~0X27 (the original address is 0X27,you can change it
yourself)

7. Compatible for 1602 LCD

8. Weight:5g

RAMPS Pololu A4988 StepStick stepper

driver with heat sink

This product is a breakout board for Allegros A4988 DMOS Microstepping Driver with Translator and
Overcurrent Protection; please read the A4988 datasheet carefully before using this product. This stepper
motor driver lets you to operate bipolar stepper motors in full-, half-, quarter-, eighth-, and sixteenth-step
modes, with an output drive capacity of up to 35 V and 2 A.

The translator is the key to the easy implementation of the A4988. Simply inputting one pulse on the
STEP input drives the motor one microstep. There are no phase sequence tables, high frequency control
lines, or complex interfaces to program. The A4988 interface is an ideal fit for applications where a
complex microprocessor is unavailable or is overburdened.
Connecting or disconnecting a stepper motor while the driver is powered can destroy the driver(More
generally, rewiring anything while it is powered is asking for trouble).
1. Maximum output current is 1A
2. Simple step and direction control interface
3. Five different step resolutions: full-step, half-step, quarter-step, eighth-step, and sixteenth-step
4. Adjustable current control lets you set the maximum current output with a potentiometer, which lets
you use voltages above your stepper motors rated voltage toachieve higher step rates
5. Intelligent chopping control that automatically selects the correct current decay mode (fast decay or
slow decay)
6. Over-temperature thermal shutdown, under-voltage lockout, and crossover-current protection
7. Short-to-ground and shorted-load protection
