Checked the schematics on the A4988 and teh Sure Steppers although the SS says it is drop in the schematics pin outs look totally different place. I am assuming just a schematic and not physical (which is odd)

Do you know that it works? Otherwise do you know where they sell pre-soldered A4988 regular or black editions pre-soldered few sites I have seen all are not soldered

More importantly the older 82b is out of stock and the 8825 is ready to ship.

8825 is bipolar that mean fwd/rev?

I like to see can I make my SD with some hardware upgrades and maybe tweak the axis run at faster speeds and better quality

Yes teh Black 4988 look good but do they come with pins soldered? Or i need to solder them in?

They make A4988s on a black PCB with better thermal dissipation, and drop in replacements using other chips.

What's your beef with the stock A4988s? They're solid with a small fan mounted on them.

Also I saw somewhere someone upgraded there A4988 board and some better stepper drivers for them that allowed better power handling, overheat and speed issues with stock one?
