Stepper Index Table 8 Position Kit with Arduino Uno + Stepper Motor
Stepper Index Table 8 Position Kit: Build Your Own Precision Assembly Station with Arduino Uno + Stepper
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
In manufacturing and prototyping, repetitive positioning is the heart of assembly lines. This kit turns a simple NEMA17 stepper into a 45-degree rotary index table—8 accurate stops triggered by a button press. You’ll program an Arduino Uno to drive the A4988 driver, display angles on a crisp OLED, and control the entire sequence with tactile buttons. Whether you’re aligning parts for drilling, soldering fixtures, or automating a repetitive task, you’ll have a functional positioner that moves from idea to reliable performance in hours.
What You'll Build
A bench-top rotary index table that moves precisely 45 degrees with each button press, holding any small fixture on its shaft. The OLED shows the current position (1 to 8) in real time, and dual buttons let you step forward or backward through the sequence. It’s a fully self-contained module you can integrate into larger assembly jigs, camera rigs, or labelling stations.
What You'll Learn
- Program precise stepper motor control with A4988 microstepping and step/direction signals
- Implement indexing logic and debounced button inputs for reliable position switching
- Drive an I2C OLED display to show live position feedback
- Integrate a 12V power supply with decoupling capacitors on a breadboard

Who This Kit Is For
Perfect for CBSE Class 11-12 students exploring mechatronics in ATL Tinkering Labs or building science exhibitions. B.Tech ECE and EEE students at IIT, NIT, VIT, BITS can use it as a mini-project for motion control coursework. Smart India Hackathon participants prototyping assembly-line automation will find the indexed motion immediately useful. If you’ve tinkered with Arduino and want a real mechanical output, this is your next step.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code to chat with the AI companion trained on this specific kit; it can guide wiring, code, and calibration. You can also send photos via WhatsApp for human support.
How precise are the 45-degree steps? Can I adjust for a different number of positions?
The NEMA17 with A4988 microstepping achieves high repeatability. The code is open and includes comments to edit the step count—you can easily change to 12 or 24 positions for other indexing patterns.
Do I need to solder anything?
No soldering required. All connections are made on the included 400-point breadboard with M-M jumper wires. The A4988 driver plugs directly in, and the OLED connects via I2C pins.
Can I control the index table wirelessly or via Bluetooth?
The base kit uses physical buttons. However, once built, you can add an HC-05 Bluetooth module to the Arduino Uno’s serial pins and modify the code to accept wireless commands—the AI companion can suggest modifications.
NEMA17 positions a rotary table at 8 equal 45-degree indexed positions triggered by button. Used in assembly.
