Walk through, using a Due and lower power stepper motor drivers - synthetos/g2 GitHub Wiki

This walk through will show how to assemble an Arduino Due with 4 lower power stepper motors, configure them for operation, install g2core on the Due, and then install + configure useful extra hardware (limit switches).

The same principle can be applied to higher power ("external") stepper motors, though it's a much better idea to buy a shield for the Due specifically for this purpose.

The significant pieces we'll be working with in this guide:

• Arduino Due
• 4 x lower power stepper motors
• 4 x lower power stepper motor drivers
• A power supply, for the stepper motors
• 3 x limit switches (TBD)

General supporting pieces we need for the above to work:

• Something to mount the stepper motor drivers on. We're using generic protoboard in this instance.
• Jumper leads to connect things
• A USB-A to micro-USB cable, for connecting my computer to the Arduino Due
