Arduino Uno and Compatible Screw Terminal Shield
The Uno r3 is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328 chip from MicroChip. It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analogue inputs, a 16MHx crystal oscillator, a USB type B connection, a DC power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with USB cable or power it with an AC-to-DC adapter (you’ll need one with a standard 5.5mm DC Barrel Jack Connection) or battery to get started. This is the latest revision of Uno and features stronger reset circuit and 16U2 microcontroller instead of the 8U2.
Features:
- Microcontroller: ATmega328 (Datasheet)
- Operating Voltage: 5V
- Input voltage (limits): 6-20V
- Digital I/O pins: 14 (of which 6 provide PWM output)

- DC Current for 3.3V Pin: 50mA
- Flash Memory: 32KB (ATmega328) of which 0.5KB used by bootloader
- SRAM: 2KB (ATmega328)
- EEPROM: 1KB (ATmega328)
- Clock speed: 16MHz
Screw Terminal Shield 
Arduino Uno (Compatible) Screw Terminal Shield is excellent for an easy connection of components such as sensors and the handy prototype board in the middle is excellent for quick prototyping. The shield comes pre-soldered and offers either DuPont style or screw terminal options to suit your needs.
The handy EDG screw terminals make for an easy and secure connection.
Features:
- Suits both Arduino® Uno and Uno Compatible Boards.
- 3.81mm screw terminals and DuPont connection points are available.
- Easily accessible reset button.
- Prototype board for DIY prototyping.
- Fully labelled screw terminals.
Power Supply – 36V 600W
The Mean Well LRS-600 600W AC/DC Single Output is a single-output enclosed type power supply with 41mm of low profile design. Adopting an input of 115 VAC or 230 VAC (select by switch), the inbuilt long-life fan allows the LRS-600 power supply to work from -20ºC to +70ºC with a full load. This power supply has complete protection functions and 5G anti-vibration capability.

Stepper Motor Driver
DM556 Driver
Our DM556 compatible stepper motor driver is an easy-to-use professional stepper motor driver, which can control a two-phase stepping motor. The driver is a digital stepper driver which utilizes DSP technology to get the best performance out of your stepper motor. Motors driven by this driver produce lower noise and better stability over its analog contemporaries.
The DM556 stepper motor driver supports speed and direction control for ease of use in CNC, robotics and hobbyist applications. You can set its micro-step and output current via the 8 DIP switch array. All signal terminals are optoisolated, reducing the chances of interference.
This stepper motor driver is Nema17, Nema23 and Nema34 compatible.
For best performance, we recommend a 36V power supply to use this driver with our Nema23 stepper motors.
Wiring
DC Cable – 2 Core 3mm
This cable is perfect for DC Power Circuits in Robotics, CNC Machines and 3D Printers. We use this cable on all of our machines!
Shielded 4 Core Cable 7/0.5 – High Current
This cable can be used with our high powered 3.0Nm NEMA23 stepper motors and Closed Loop stepper motors which demand a higher working current. The shielding reduces the effects of Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI) and helps eliminate lost steps.
E-Stop DC Cable – 2 Core
This cable can be used as a touch probe extension.
