If you are planning on building your own 3D printer or a CNC machine, you will need to control a bunch of stepper motors. And having one Arduino control all of them can take up a lot of the processing and not leave you a lot of room to do anything else; unless you use a self-contained dedicated stepper motor driver – DRV8825.
It can control both speed and spinning direction of a bipolar stepper motor like NEMA 17 with just two pins. How cool is that!
