> 24 hourUPDATE 03/21/2019 New Title says it all. Arrived early February and installed in a RAMPS board, set to 0.82MV and all good. Well, all good for about 16 hours of printing anyway. Just pulled them all out and have gone back to the A4988 after the second one failed. It is a pity as they quietened the printing down a lot with the 1/32 Micro-stepping. I am a bit surprised as I am a fan of Kingprint with with several main boards that have proven to be exceptionally reliable, but this latest batch of drivers -- not so much it seems. This is the second batch of DRV8825 I have had from them. The first lot bought in mid 2018 have been excellent and still running reliably. Will order from a different supplier and try again.

> 24 hourThese work just fine. Remember to adjust the screw for what you need. If running for a long time keep a fan blowing on them or keep a few spares on hand.

> 24 hourThese little boards are a great replacement for the standard 16 microstep driver and provide a 32 step option. If used to increase microsteps and quiet the stepper motors, Marlin software or printer settings must be changed for double the step rate or measurements will be off by 2X.

> 24 hour2 of the 5 units purchased were dysfunctional. 1 just did nothing, while the other got hot and did nothing other than get hot. on the plus side, the other 3 units worked as intended. buy extra I guess.

> 24 hourI bought these for lab use to test/analyze motion controller behaviors only to discover that these little drivers need much support circuitry before theyll function. These drivers will also drive from their own noise, meaning once stepping has started it might never stop! These might be okay drivers for those who know them well, but if youre a first time user of these like me I say AVOID!
