Projects General Guidance

Good afternoon,

I have a project where i will need to command both a DC and Step by step motors.

With the modules quoted in the title, will i be able to command both motors.

I'm really new to Arduino but programming on µC system isn't new to me.

Best Regards, Gauthier from France.

AFAIK a motor shield can control either 2 DC motors or 1 stepper motor. However a motor shield is a poor choice for controlling a stepper motor.

These links may help

Simple Stepper Code

also look up the AccelStepper library - especially if you do want to use a motor shield with a stepper motor.
