## Overview

The HiLetgo 2pcs A4988 V3 Engraver Drive Shield is a compact, versatile expansion board designed for Arduino-based CNC machines and 3D printers. Supporting up to 4 stepper motors with minimal IO usage, it runs on 12-36V DC and is compatible with GRBL 0.9 firmware. This dual-pack offers excellent value for makers seeking reliable, professional-grade motor control with flexible wiring and micro-stepping options.

## Description

GRBL 0.9 compatible. (Open source firmware that runs on an Arduino UNO that turns G-code commands into stepper signals) PWM Spindle and direction pins 4-Axis support (X, Y, Z , A-Can duplicate X,Y,Z or do a full 4th axis with custom firmware using pins D12 and D13) 2 x End stops for each axis (6 in total) Coolant enable Uses removable A4988 or DRV8825 compatible stepper drivers Jumpers to set the Micro-Stepping for the stepper drivers. (Some drivers like the DRV8825 can do up to 1/32 micro-stepping) Compact design. Stepper Motors can be connected with 4 pin molex connectors or soldered in place. Runs on 12-36V DC. (At the moment only the DRV8825 drivers can handle up to 36V so please consider the operation voltage when powering the board.) Please note that this is an unassembled kit and Basic soldering skills are needed Package List:2*V3 Engraver Shield 3D Printer CNC Expansion Board A4988 Driver Board

Review: Great product, two for one pricing- A+ - What a great price, I didn’t even notice it was for 2 pieces and still cheaper than other options, flawlessly built, packaged well, sealed separately; functional and have zero issues, would recommend.
Review: Good quality, check your Arduino for compatability - These worked great for my CNC pen plotter project. Just be careful when using them with Arduinos. You need to make sure you have an Arduino Uno. I was using an Arduino Mega and could not figure out why my project wasn't working. After everything was connected properly, I had zero issues.

## Features

- Each road stepper motors only need two IO ports
- This expansion board as a driver expansion board, can be used for engraving machines, 3D printers.
- PWM Spindle and direction pins. 4-Axis support. Runs on 12-36V DC
- It is a total of four slots, can drive four A4988 stepper motor. Each road stepper motors only need two IO ports. In other words, six IO ports can be well managed three stepper motors. Very convenient to use.
- Stepper motor wiring as follows: 2A, 2B is a group (red, green), 1A, 1B is a group (blue, yellow), if want to change direction, can be change the position of one group , for example 2A, 2B mutually exchanged.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are 4-pin molex pin connectors a standard size for a cnc shield?**
A: Yes, that's what I'm using.

**Q: could I use a regular 12v dc power block or do I need to use a proper power supply?**
A: Yeah, 12v power brick worked for me, at least for experimental stages, it'll need to have enough current (obviously) to run the motors. Current requirements also depends a bit on how your driver's are tuned and the motors your running.

**Q: Will this be ship from the USA or other country ?**
A: other country

**Q: Which grbl 0.9 is this shield support?the z spindle is swapped at middle of 0.9;1.7a stepper motor is currently not working after i calib vref to 0.75**
A: This seems to work just fine with the grbl .9 at github. I'm using one of these in a drawingbot I built, but my Z is a servo and not a stepper. The XY steppers work just fine. Sorry, I could not be of more help.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product, two for one pricing- A+
*by J***E on July 7, 2025*

What a great price, I didn’t even notice it was for 2 pieces and still cheaper than other options, flawlessly built, packaged well, sealed separately; functional and have zero issues, would recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality, check your Arduino for compatability
*by D***N on January 4, 2026*

These worked great for my CNC pen plotter project. Just be careful when using them with Arduinos. You need to make sure you have an Arduino Uno. I was using an Arduino Mega and could not figure out why my project wasn't working. After everything was connected properly, I had zero issues.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great for the price but beware of old pinout scheme
*by O***. on June 22, 2018*

Product is great given the price, the soldering job could be a bit better. On the ones I got I had to bend some of the connectors a bit to fit the stepper motor drivers. But be aware, this is version 3.0 of the CNC shield meaning it is not fully compatible with the latest v1.1 of GRBL. The pinout layout of GRBL for Z-limit and spindle enable has changed and if you want to use these functions with this shield you have to attach directly to the Arduino pins and cut away the 2 pins from the shield. Which works fine, you just have to aware of it. This is not because this product is bad, the product is good! It is simply that the V3.0 shield does not have the new pin layout of GRBL V1.1
