Here's a PCB design that has two A4988 stepper driver modules controlled by an Arduino Pro Micro, PCF8574 GPIO expanders, and an OLED display with a rotary encoder based menu.
I want to use this as a fast prototyping platform for stepper motor projects, but I had one project in mind to get started.
In trying to figure out a way to cut consistent circles out of a larger sticker material, I decided to put two stepper motors to work, using a knife and a rotating platform to do the task a lot better than I can achieve manually.
It may not be perfect, but it works and is a good learning experience.
