A how to on precision, cheap, stepper motor driving

                         

Problem: 

Your a student and need to spin/mix something with a bit of precision and a douse of style. Using cheap parts, namely from canabalized printers, along with some code, you can drive you own project incorporating a stepper motor.

Solution:
Using the previously documented methods of Avr Programming, and LCD driving, we incorporate motor control. not everyone has access to amazing motor control IC's and when on a budget/in a rush, 4 power mosfets can take the ic's place and code can eaisly fill in the gaps.
    How it works:
