Control a DC motor and a stepper with the same Uno board

[jpettori]

Hello,

For un little project, I need ta build a model where I want to use a DC motor and a stepper. For this project I use a Arduino Uno board, I want to know if it is possible to control in a same program with a motor shield like:

DC motor and a stepper

Hello jpettori

Generally speaking, this depends on the physical properties of the motors used.

Keep it simple and stupid firstly.
Run some tutorials for the hardware selected to gain the knowledge.
If you are happy with the results of the tutorials you can merge these to your project.
Have a nice day and enjoy coding in C++.

Thank you for your answer !

I've already searched some tutorials where people control a stepper and a DC motor in the same program, but I didn't find anything ... That's why I try to find some help on this forum ...

Could you see which pins you need for each, both in and out, then compare?
