Hey, I'm back!
And I'm glad to report it was a full success!!!
I wired everything up and got the programming in order. It can go backward and forward and rotate left and right.
This particular project is powered by an arduino uno with 2 5 volt stepper motors. It uses infrared for remote control and a green status LED. The speed is minimal but the torque is excellent.
Now, I gotta figure out what to build next!
Pictures pending...
