Can you interface a Adafruit Stepper + DC Motor FeatherWing with Adafruit METRO 328?
If so what will the schematic look like. Thanks for the assistance

Re: Stepper + DC Motor FeatherWing
Yes, it is possible to connect via jumpers. Although a better match is the Motor Shield which is the same circuit - but configured to plug directly into the Metro 328 (and other boards with the classic Arduino header configuration)

To connect the Wing to the Metro, you would need to connect GND to GND. And since the Metro is a 5v processor, you would connect 5v from the Metro to 3.3v on the Wing to power the logic circuitry. https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-ste ... ns-1883525
For communication, connect SDA to SDA and SCL to SCL: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-ste ... ns-1883528
Motor power is separate from the logic power and will depend on the motors you are using: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-ste ... ns-1883518

Re: Stepper + DC Motor FeatherWing
Thanks for the tip, My Metro has 3v output buss too. So I am using it. Still struggling with software. Can't find two libraries adafruit_pca9685 and adafruit_motorkit. So Im sunk with getting anything accomplished today.

Re: Stepper + DC Motor FeatherWing
But it has a 5v signal levesl, so you need to use 5v for the Wing to avoid damage.My Metro has 3v output buss too. So I am using it.
The Motorkit library is for Python and is not applicable to the Metro 328. You need the Adafruit Motor Shield library linked in the guide:Still struggling with software. Can't find two libraries adafruit_pca9685 and adafruit_motorkit.

Thanks, Threw in the towel...just purchased the V2 shield.
