## PCB
- single sided PCB for direct mounting on the motor and efficient assembly

## Motor
- Recommended motor is [this](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001349087963.html) with 1.8° step angle with relatively high torque per amp ratio. Best coupled with 5:1 gearbox to provide enough toruqe for steering aplications, and still relatively low friction and noise.
- Assembled board with the geared stepper motor:
