LPR550AL Dual-Axis (Pitch and Roll or XY) Gyro with ±500°/s and ±2000°/s Ranges

This gyroscope board is a basic carrier/breakout board for the ST LPR550AL dual-axis gyro, which measures the angular rates of rotation about the pitch (x) and roll (y) axes. Two separate analog voltage outputs for each axis provide angular velocity ranges of ±500°/s and ±2000°/s. This board has a 3.3V regulator for easy integration with 5 V parts, includes a low-pass filter on each output for noise reduction, and is smaller than competing products, all at a lower price.

Clearance: This board is being replaced by the L3GD20 3-axis gyro carrier.

DRV8825 Stepper Motor Driver Carrier, High Current (md20a)

Clearance: This original version of our DRV8825 stepper motor driver carrier has been replaced by a newer version that can more easily be used as a drop-in replacement for our A4988 stepper motor driver carriers. The only difference is that the newer version connects the sleep and fault lines through a resistor, making it more straightforward to use in very specific situations described in more detail on the product page. Generally speaking, most users should not notice any difference between the two driver versions.
