-| {{:docs:exclamation.png?40|}} | **IMPORTANT WARNING**: Note: Never connect/disconnect motors to a powered-up controller. Always turn off power before connecting/disconnecting accessories to/from your BLOX |
+OpenBuilds BLOX provides support for 2x Bipolar Stepper Motors, with software-controlled current setting and fault monitoring.
+  * Motor Max Current: 3.2A
+  * Motor Voltage: 3V ideally, higher will limit acceleration
+  * Motor Inductance: 1-2mH ideally, higher will limit max speed

+==== 2.5.2 Stepper Driver FAULT modes ====
+Faults that trigger FAULT MODE:
+  * Overcurrent (Adjust current down a little)
+  * Overtemperature (Adjust current down a little, improve cooling)
+  * Short circuit (Check wiring, Check motor)
+  * Low Input voltage (Check Power Supply)
+If you encounter a Driver Fault:
+  * Turn off power
+  * Resolve the issue
+  * Give the drivers a few minutes to cool down
+  * Turn power back on
+  * Note: The FAULT will persist until both cleared, and power has been turned off and on, to protect the stepper drivers
