Interactive Bill of Materials

We also maintain an interactive bill of materials that has most pins and jumpers marked as per the board design.

Click a component on the front or back of the board to learn more about it. Some components have a description for further information.


Essential Connections

There are only 2 necessary connections to use the board:

  1. INPUT connector - for your VIN and CAN(-FD)
  2. MOTOR connector - for your NEMA17 stepper motor

Warning

CRITICAL: Double and triple check the polarity of your INPUT connector before plugging it in. Reversing the polarity will damage the board instantly.

INPUT Connector (XT30 2+2)

  • CAN-H: Yellow wire
  • CAN-L: White wire
  • VIN: Red wire (typically 14-32V DC)
  • GND: Black wire

MOTOR Connector (XH 2.5, 4-pin)

A standard 4-wire bipolar stepper motor connection. Use the included cable and PH 2.0 connectors to adapt to your motor’s PH 2.0 connector. Most NEMA17 motors will have a 6 pin PH 2.0 connector with only the two outer and two inner pins connected.

The 2 inner pins are usually flipped, so the A,A,B,B pattern (Black, Green, Blue, Red) from the Ultralight N17 will end up as A,NC,B,A,NC,B or Black, Red, Green, Blue
