Dual HR8825 driver board for Raspberry Pi
This HAT plugs into the standard 40-pin GPIO header and provides two independent stepper motor channels. It is aimed at makers and engineers building 3D printers, sculpturing machines or mechanical arms that need coordinated motion control from a single-board computer. The onboard 5 V regulator can feed the host board, simplifying wiring in compact projects.
Six microstepping modes up to 1/32-step
DIP switches select full-step, half-step, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 or 1/32 microstepping for each channel. A potentiometer sets the drive current up to the 2.5 A maximum per motor. Overcurrent protection, thermal shutdown and VM undervoltage lockout protect the HR8825 chips during prolonged operation, so the board sustains rated current without relying on short-burst headroom.
8.2 V to 28 V motor supply range and 3.3 V logic
Motors are powered from an external supply between 8.2 V and 28 V while the logic side runs at 3.3 V, matching Raspberry Pi and Jetson Nano I/O levels. The 65 mm by 56 mm PCB uses 3 mm mounting holes and offers multiple motor connector styles for different stepper specifications. Development examples in BCM2835, wiringPi and Python are provided to accelerate integration.

Questions about this item
How much heat and power does the dual HR8825 HAT draw when driving two steppers at 2.5 A all day?
Each HR8825 chip is rated for 2.5 A peak output and includes thermal shutdown protection, so sustained loads stay within the 8.2–28 V supply range without extra cooling.
Which Raspberry Pi or Jetson board and power supply must I already own for this HAT to work?
It fits any Raspberry Pi with the standard 40-pin GPIO header or a Jetson Nano and uses the onboard 5 V regulator to feed the host, so you only need a 8.2–28 V motor supply.
Will the 3.3 V logic on this HAT talk reliably to older 5 V Arduino shields I want to keep using?
The HAT’s logic level is fixed at 3.3 V to match the Pi and Jetson Nano; level-shifting would be required for 5 V peripherals.
