Hello,
I need to create an IoT project that will automate something in my life. So i am making a automatic sunscreen controller which will make the screen go up or down based on the weather.
Now im almost finished with the project, it was time to connect the electronics. I am no expert at electronics so i looked up if i can just connect the nema 17 stepper motor to the power supply via the breadboard. As of my knowledge the Nema 17, at its peak, takes 1.7 amps per coil, it has two coils. So thats at most 3.4 amps. I have a power supply to power everything of 12V and 5A. It will melt the plastic of the breadboard with that current.
So i was thinking maybe i could just put it on a solderable prototype board which makes it more secure, safe, and i will gain some extra points (yes thats something you can score on).
But i have no idea how i can know what prototype board can handle that current. Its also not stated on the sellers page.
On a arduino form someone recommended this prototype board: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gikfun-Solder-able-Breadboard-Arduino-GK1007U/dp/B07D7PMCG5
But when i ask AI it says the board will also melt. Am i being misled by AI 
?
Picture of system:
Note: in this picture i use a expansion board because i though i couldn't directly connect the DRV8825 to the breadboard.
