+ Stepper Motor Control - one step at a time
+
+ This program drives a unipolar or bipolar stepper motor.
+ The motor is attached to digital pins 8 - 11 of the Arduino.
+
+ The motor will step one step at a time, very slowly. You can use this to
+ test that you've got the four wires of your stepper wired to the correct
+ pins. If wired correctly, all steps should be in the same direction.
+
+ Use this also to count the number of steps per revolution of your motor,
+ if you don't know it. Then plug that number into the oneRevolution
+ example to see if you got it right.
