Stepmotor connections :
Example of connecting the VMA401 to VMA100 (UNO) (an additional power supply is advised to power the motor !) Example code : // This Arduino example demonstrates bidirectional operation of a // 28BYJ-48, using a VMA401 - ULN2003 interface board to drive the stepper. // The 28BYJ-48 motor is a 4-phase, 8-beat motor, geared down by // a factor of 68. One bipolar winding is on motor pins 1 & 3 and // the other on motor pins 2 & 4. The step angle is 5.625/64 and the // operating Frequency is 100pps.
