#BEE Board and Stepper Motor

This article shows on how to drive up to three unipolar stepper motor using a [BEE Board](/BEEBOARD) and the [DAISY-2](/DAISY-2) stepper
motor controller.

The BEE Board can simultaneously drive up to 3 motors to manages, for example, 3 axis mechanical.

## Raw Mode

In this Example my Daisy2 was wired on W3 with 'A' configuration

## Library to manage Daisy2 with BEE Board

This library is a simple way to drive the motor with no PWM. You can connect up to 2 stepper motors to W3 (Configuration 'A' and 'B') and one stepper motor to W4 (configuration 'A').

* Download and Install it by following [this guide](http://www.acmesystems.it/beeboard_add_libraries_to_ide).
* Plug Ribbon Cable on Wings W3 or W4.
* open IDE and iclude Library.

## Plug one Daisy2 to W3 with configuration 'A'
