Re: stepper driver from scrap

Sounds like you have the fever.

many of us started while looking at an old disk drive.

you can find stepper driver circuits that will power your mini-motors.

free software, and if you just want to start, you can make an economy-
engraver. not very much power at all. could easily use a pen to
draw circuit boards, or cut foam, or just possibly cut some balsa
wood.

Check out the links section of the web page and search for a project.
