/* 
 Stepper Motor Control - speed control
 
 This program drives a unipolar or bipolar stepper motor. 
 The motor is attached to digital pins 8 - 11 of the Arduino.
 A potentiometer is connected to analog input 0.
 
 The motor will rotate in a clockwise direction. The higher the potentiometer value,
 the faster the motor speed. Because setSpeed() sets the delay between steps, 
 you may notice the motor is less responsive to changes in the sensor value at
 low speeds.
