DC-DC 7-15V 9V 12V to 5V 2A L7805 Buck Converter Step-down Power Supply Module

Not a buck converter
This is just a LM7805 linear regulator on a pcb with various types of in/out connector types. It's NOT a buck converter as was advertised, so it's efficiency is much lower and a lot of power is wasted as heat when regulating higher voltages. I would not have bought it had I known this. Description is not accurate.
Good Concept, POOR Implementation. Died on the first day! E-paper is SLOW and blurry.
Died on first day of use. Stuck at 5 micron. Cleaned per Yellow Jacket instructions with no luck. Called YJ support and they said "Yep it has a bad microprocessor - get it replaced from the original reseller." So now I'm stuck with a half-finished HVAC install and a busted vacuum gauge.
Also, the e-paper display is very SLOW to update. Also, sometimes it's blurry after updating, then usually clears up later. The whole unit is very sluggish: when you press a button, it takes several seconds for the display to update, so you end up pressing a button several times thinking it didn't 'take'.
A feature that would be really great is the ability to rotate the display 180 degrees. A lot of what I have done with it so far requires the gauge to be pointing to the RIGHT. This makes the display upside down. Since it's a dot matrix display, they should have a button to flip the display by 180, allowing you to read it from whichever side you are on.
Good concept, POOR implementation.

Pleased with this controller
So far works fine on NEMA-23 motors. I do wish it had a separate Ground pin for the 5V side, but not a big deal. Adjustable current potentiometer and DIP switches to set microstepping. Add some thermal paste between the chip and heatsink for better thermal performance.
