I was playing for a while now trying to get a stepper motor working with the MDBT42Q module (breakout). It worked with default wave pattern (wave) but didnt with full step. Even the default seemed a bit weak so I finally hooked up oscilloscope to the board. It turned D5 pin was busted. I checked the bare module connection to the breakout and seemed a bit skewed but the continuity is there. I cut the track on my board and used D6 and it works fine now.
I guess I was unlucky.
Let me know if there is anything special about D5 I maybe missed. I just configured it to 'output'.
