# Stepper Motor Turntable ## Overview ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/134/555/medium800thumb/3d_printing_guide-thumb.jpg?1737479410) https://youtu.be/w7RCZIHGNE4 Put a spin on your videos with this motorized turntable. Turn the IKEA Snudda lazy susan into a motorized table top using CircuitPython and electronics from Adafruit. Use a stepper motor and the silent TMC2209 driver to give the tabletop a twirl. This project allows you to achieving smooth motion for filming your projects. With an OLED screen and rotary encoder, you can change the direction, adjust speed and have start and stop control. ## OLED Menu The on-screen menu on the OLED uses custom fonts and icons to display if the motor is on, the direction, and the speed. Using the rotary encoder, you can push to select, and turn to change and adjust the direction, speed and on/off. ![3d_printing_demo-menu.gif](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/134/551/medium640thumb/3d_printing_demo-menu.jpg?1737478145) ## Speed Control Using the TMC2209 stepper driver, you can choose up to three different speeds. Low, medium, and fast are shown on the OLED as icons with text.  ![3d_printing_demo-speed.gif](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/134/554/medium640thumb/3d_printing_demo-speed.jpg?1737479313) # Parts ### Adafruit TMC2209 Stepper Motor Driver Breakout Board [Adafruit TMC2209 Stepper Motor Driver Breakout Board](https://www.adafruit.com/product/6121) Stepper motors are used for CNC machines, 3D printers, and whenever else one needs precise, powerful motion. But to get good behavior from steppers you need a motor driver chip that can provide high bursts of current, and for smooth motion, be able to PWM that current for microstepping...
