A dual stepper motor controller with built-in USB-C 100W Power Delivery. It is compatible with Stepper Motor Driver Modules from 3d Printers and supports all advanced features modern Stepper Motors can do like UART communication, Microstepping up to 1/256 and much more. As it has the form of a HAT (Extension Board for Raspberry Pis) it can also communicate to RPis and make more computationally intensive tasks like computer vision possible.

Timeline

I finally finished the revamped version (v2). It now includes an MCU to better control the motors and has support for 100W USB-C. I finished the BoM. (Almost) all parts should be available at both LCSC and Mouser.

Ok so I didn't cook yesterday(now technically 2 days ago) I initially wanted to speed-run a project for the Highway YSWS buuuuuut I forgot I had to also post a lot of documentation which I didnt write doing this in one day. Today I kind of
scrapped the old design. The new design now has an extra MCU on the PCB to
handle all the motor stuff and also UART communication with the motors.
I will completely need to redesign my PCB so in the attachment you will
see my old version one last time.

After having almost deleted the entire project when I used git revert thinking it would preserve my stuff but undo the commit the basic wiring should be finished now
