I’ve been working on my own motor control interface for the Arduino, but it sucks so far because I’m not really a very good electrician at all, at all. Can’t wait to see what you came up with!

ladyada - Are schematic and pcb available? It’ll be great for my project and I’ll buy the pcb if available.Cool video.

ladyada — disassemble an old floppy drive. It will likely have bipolar. Or, if you can get your hands on a six-wire stepper, you can connect it up as either unipolar or bipolar. Great to see software for this otherwise orphaned shield board. Now … does it work with the boarduino (obviously not, but I thought I’d just ask that question. Maybe with the addition of a set of holes off to one side into which you could solder a boarduino? Or for that matter, just put the Atmel on the motor control board, with the six-pin angle connector and be done with it.)

I was listening to ‘Pilgrims of the Mind - Something’s Pulling me Under’ on SomaFM’s groovesalad while watching this video. The flappy, buzzy motor sounds were in perfect time with the music. Happy++

these steppers that i had in my STUFFBOX are unipolar, but from what i understand, the hardware for bipolar is the same so if i could get my hands on a bipolar stepper it would be straightforward to add code support
