Is there an option to make this board connector stackable (to control more than 4 motors)?

[Oliver33]

Sounds like it!

@Product description

In fact, you can even stack multiple Motor HATs , up to 32 of them, for controlling up to 64 stepper motors or 128 DC motors (or a mix of the two) - just remember to purchase and solder in a stacking header instead of the one Adafruit include.

Hi Jeffery,

To add to Oliver33’s response you’ll also have to link some solder bridges to change the I2C address, check out the docs: Stacking HATs | Adafruit DC and Stepper Motor HAT for Raspberry Pi | Adafruit Learning System

My point was you already include a 2 x 20 pin riser (ADA 4079 - $3.95) and then suggest we add a second connector (ADA 2223 - $4.95).

I’m suggesting you add an option to swap one out for the other and pay the difference and not be left with an unused connector!

I think you’re confused I don’t work at Core, I was just helping out. Also, it’s an Adafruit product so you’d be best off getting in touch with them: Adafruit.com - they’ll be the ones sealing them up and shipping them with the non-stackable headers
