I have just recently stumbled on to the astroberry focuser.  I jumped out and bought a stepper motor PI hat that seems to be controlled by the I2C address.  After reading as many posts as I could this seems to be the wrong hat to use.  Is that correct??

I have seen mention of the PIface motor controller which seems to be dificult to come by.  What is the best stepper motor hat to get this for this project??

Thanks.... Bruce

I switched to the Waveshare motor hat.
The biggest issue with driving a motor over i2c is getting high speeds because of frequency limitations.
Something to consider, but there are a few other good options to look at too.
