It is worth noting that in theA4988When the module is not plugged in, step motor connection mode is:

Description Product

CNC Shield Board:
Latest CNC Shield Version 3
0.9 compatible. GRBL (open source firmware that runs on an uno that turns the G-code commands into stepper 37signals)
PWM Spindle and direction pins
4-Axis support (X, Y, Z, A-Can duplicate X, Y Z, or do a full 4th axis with custom firmware using pins D12 and D13)
2 x End stops for each axis (6 in total)
Coolant enable
Uses removable A4988 or DRV8825 compatible stepper drivers
Jumpers to set the Micro-Stepping for the stepper. (some drivers like the DRV8825 can do up to 1 / 32 micro-stepping)
Compact design.
Stepper Motors can be connected with pin Molex connectors or soldered 4 in place.
Runs on 12-36v DC. (at the moment only the DRV8825 drivers can handle up to 36V so please consider the operation voltage when powering the.)
Please note that this is an unassembled kit and Basic soldering skills are needed

Package includes:
