Is it possible to use more than one 4A Motor Shield (SKU: 105030004) in order to control 4 stepper motors? If yes how? I will apreciate any help.

Tkanks.

It’s not possible to drive 1+ steppers with 2 motor shield in normal use, except that making some modification on the assembling. You can bend 4 io pins to let them not plugging into the shield socket, and then you connect them manually with another 4 io pins of arduino. In one word, the 2nd motor shield needs only 4 different io pins from the ones used by the 1st motor shield.
