+Adafruit info:
+//This stepper motor is a little different than the large NEMA-17 types you may be used to. These are often used in gauges for motorcycles and cars to replace the old-style fully-analog type. They have extremely fine step precision of about 1/2 a degree per step, 600 steps for single stepping, fast response for quick movements, and a range of  ~315° degrees. Their smooth motion makes good for small projects that need a dial indicator, and more precision motion than you may get with a needle gauge.//
+//Since this is a bi-polar stepper motor you do need to have some sort of H-Bridge to drive it. A L293D or TB6612 will do the job nicely. If you have a microcontroller that can drive 200 ohm loads you might be able to use the direct pins without extra MOSFETs, just remember to include kickback/flyback protection diodes!//
+//Note that the motor is quite 'weak', not good for moving anything but a light indicator. We include a red-line dial that fits nicely on top by pushing onto the needle shaft.//

+ Stepper Motor Control - one step at a time
+ This program drives a unipolar or bipolar stepper motor.
+ The motor is attached to digital pins 8 - 11 of the Arduino.
+ The motor will step one step at a time, very slowly.  You can use this to
+ test that you've got the four wires of your stepper wired to the correct
+ pins. If wired correctly, all steps should be in the same direction.
+ Use this also to count the number of steps per revolution of your motor,
+ if you don't know it.  Then plug that number into the oneRevolution
+ example to see if you got it right.
