Hi. I want to controll 5 dc motors with 5-12 voltage and 8 stepper motors with 12 voltage and 2 stepper motors with 24 voltage. I'm using arduino uno for ontrolling them. I don't know witch sheild should I use. I can controll just two steppers with arduino motor controll sheild. is there a sheild that can handle more steppers and dc motors? or how can I use several motor controll sheilds?
This is the sheild that I have:
this could help ➜ Adafruit 16-Channel 12-bit PWM/Servo Shield - I2C interface : ID 1411 : Adafruit Industries, Unique & fun DIY electronics and kits
the Overview | Adafruit Motor Shield V2 | Adafruit Learning System can drive 4 motors and they are stackable
having 5 independant drivers would also be an option. there are many options to choose from, for example
What type of steppers do you use? Most modern steppers cannot be driven by this shield.
You should tell us a bit more about your project to get reasonable answers.
This shield is not suitable for simple DC-motors or steppers. As I understood @alija22, he didn't talk about servos.
OOps... I misread. Good point
The stepper motors are EM-284. I controlled one of them with motor sheild.
That tells me nothing. Please provide a datasheet or a link to the technical data of these motors. And you talked about 12V motors and 24V motors.
Hi,
Can you please post links to data/specs of all the different steppers you are using?
Can you please post link to data/specs of the DC Motors?
Unfortunately the data you posted does not tell us any of the electrical characteristics we need to know.
Thanks.. Tom.. 
There is no datasheet about them. I just can find attached specification. What you need to know that doesn't exist there?
The TB6600 driver should suffice for the steppers, 8pcs for about GBP25 incl tax and shipping from AliExpress
To specify a driver one needs to know How much electricity it requires to produce the specified 4kg cm torque.
Can you please tell us your electronics, programming, arduino, hardware experience?
Thanks.. Tom..
As already stated this tells nothing about the electrical characteristics, but these are neccessary to solect a suitable driver. Usually stepper need a current controlling driver.
Are we talking about this stepper? But this tells about a unipolar stepper.
How many wires does your stepper have, and how did you connect it?
Unfortunately even this link contains only rudimentary electrical data. But 1A and 5-12V let me assume the need of a current controlling driver.
For 1A a DRV8825 should be OK, but the DRV8825 is for driving a bipolar stepper.
my steppers have four wires. wires 1 and 4 are coil and 2 and 4 are another coil. I connected one of the coils to input pins of motor 3 and another to motor 4. I can control one stepper with this wiring successfully.
sorry but I don't know. there is no datasheet about this stepper.
I have no data sheet about this stepper.
It's 1A
Thank you but this is suitable for two steppers but I'm using 8 steppers.
And how can I use multiple L293 arduino motor sheilds?
We are already up to post #19 and you have not told us what control you want. Are all steppers controlled to move the same at the same time, direction and speed? Are there sets of identical movement for some steppers? What conditions will cause stepper movement? Will the cause be the same for all steppers? Or are some controlled for individual reasons?
