Stepper in action
A video of the Arduino/Stepper controller under the control of a test script.
The stepper motor consumed the contents of the 9V alkaline battery after 30 more minutes of operation. Battery life could be extended by turning the motor off after each step and only energizing it a few milliseconds before commanding it to take a step. Time to reprogram the control algorithm to do this...
