With Arduino in one hand and the other hand holding a package containing what I hoped was my stepper motors headed for my K-hole.

Opened up my package of the five I ordered one was missing the board:( oh well onward. Plugged in all and loaded the code. Forgot I need an external 5v supply. Thinking of finding an old USB cord and stripping back the wires solder them to jumper cables ( remembering to slide the heat shrink on before soldering) finally attach to the 5volt and ground for my stepper board. Fingers crossed.

PS

How do you make the stepper motor go multiple 360 rotations?

Max steps = 512

What kind of motor would I need if the application was to roll up a material as in shade for window?

Scott W Thank you. That same page had the driver board and mounting bracket for the stepper motor you suggested.
