Story

This is a demo project for the Pmod STEP made by Digilent. The module is used to control a stepper motor, to make a rotation in one direction, then to return to its origin. Current rotation direction is always displayed in the serial monitor. To control the Pmod, an Arduino UNO is used, which also sends data to the computer. To make usage easier, the Stepper.h library is used for motor control.
