Datasheet

Once you have verified the motor is connected properly and you have the power LED lit up brightly, we can upload our

code.

In the IDE, load File->Examples->Adafruit_MotorShield->StepperTest

You should see and hear the stepper motor turn on and move back and forth, attaching a slip of paper or tape as a

'flag' can help you visualize the movement if you have trouble seeing the movement. There are four ways to move a

stepper, with varying speed, torque and smoothness tradeoffs. This example code will demonstrate all four.
