Make objects rotating with a Stepper-Motor: Well, in a previous tutorial <===> https://gustmees.wordpress.com/2018/09/19/halloween-project-with-skull-arduino-blinking-leds-and-scrolling-eyes-maker-makered-makerspaces/ <===> we created a Halloween Skull and it was fix, didn't rotate. Fun? YES, BUT more fun when it is rotating by using a Stepper-Motor; looks then as it would observe, control the space around it ;) And it is…

Learn how to control bipolar and unipolar stepper motors with an Arduino using drivers like ULN2003, L298N and A4988. In this article I’ll show you all you need to know to get started with stepper motors.

Introduction
Stepper Motors are used in a wide variety of devices ranging from 3D printers and CNC machines to DVD drives, heating ducts and even analog clocks. Yet despite their popularity many experimenters shy away from using stepper motors as they seem to require complex hookups and code.

In this article I hope to dispel that myth by showing you just how easy it is to use a stepper motor with an Arduino. So follow along, I promise to take you through all of this “complex” stepper theory one step at a time!

This article includes everything you need to know about controlling a 28BYJ-48 stepper motor with the ULN2003 driver board and Arduino. I have included datasheets, a wiring diagram and many example codes!

First we take a look at the easy to use Arduino Stepper library. This library is great when you are just starting out, but doesn’t have many extra features.

I highly recommend to also take a look at the example codes for the AccelStepper library at the end of this tutorial. This library is fairly easy to use and can greatly improve the performance of your hardware.

After each example, I break down and explain how the code works, so you should have no problems modifying it to suit your needs.
