How It Works
The ULN2003 driver board receives digital control signals from a microcontroller such as an Arduino or ESP32 and energizes the motor coils in sequence. This controlled switching causes the 28BYJ-48 stepper motor to rotate in precise increments, enabling accurate position and speed control. The integrated gear reduction improves torque and positioning accuracy, making it suitable for robotics and automation applications.
