- VERSION: 0.1
- This is an example of how to use the HobbyComponents Arduino compatible stepper
- motor with driver interface (HCROBO0055) . When run this program will
- continually
- rotate the motor one full revolution in the forward direction
- followed by one full
- revolution in the reverse direction. Although this stepper motor will
- work with the
- standard Arduino stepper motor library functions, this program
- demonstrates how easy
- it is to directly control.
