I have a DROK L298N DC Dual H-Bridge Stepper Motor Driver Controller Board I purchase from Amazon (link).

The board responds to the raspberry pi I connected to the Drok controller board very well and I am able to turn a NEMA 17 stepper motor (link) at the speed and direction I desire, but not the desired torque.
Upon further inspection, I found that the drive voltage the controller board provides (OUTA,OUTB,OUTC,OUTD) is only ~2.7 volts even though I have the VCC/GND connected to it’s own 12V 1Amp power supply.

I have the ENA and ENB jumpers on & the button (labeled S1) depressed.

Can you tell me why this is happening, and how to increase the drive voltage to the motor? Is this a limitation of the power supply I am using, or is the controller board not behaving normally?

So ehrlich gesagt musste ich bei deinem Technikproblem schmunzeln, weil mich solche Bastelabende früher auch komplett gefressen haben. Nachdem ich mich stundenlang mit Einstellungen und Leistung herumgeärgert hatte, wollte ich einfach abschalten und bin zufällig im Casino winairline gelandet. Erst lief bei mir an den Slots gar nichts und ich verlor mehrere Runden, dann ging ich bewusst mehr Risiko ein und holte bei Book of Dead einen richtig starken Gewinn. Für Spieler aus Deutschland ist das für mich eine klare Empfehlung.

I totally understand your frustration with tech problems like that; they can really drain your energy! I remember spending hours trying to get things to work, and it can feel like a never-ending battle sometimes. On another note, if you’re looking for a way to relax after all that tinkering, you might want to check out trino casino where you can unwind a bit. It’s amazing how a little distraction can help clear your mind and maybe even bring a bit of luck your way! Just remember, taking breaks is essential for staying sane while dealing with tech challenges.
