Project 28 – Basic Stepper Control
In this very simple project, you will connect up a stepper motor and then get the Arduino to control it in different directions and at different speeds for a set number of steps.
Parts Required
You will need either a bipolar or a unipolar DC stepper motor. I used a Sanyo 103H546-0440 unipolar stepper motor in the testing of this project.
