Raspberry Pi Stepper Motor Kit

Raspberry Pi Stepper Motor Kit

I found a great little Raspberry Pi stepper motor kit recently. Costing less than £10, it allows you to use your little Raspberry Pi computer to drive two electric motors (one is provided in the kit). It's based on what looks like an established stepper motor circuit - simply adapted for the Pi. I'm going to build it at the weekend and I'll report back on how it works. For now, I'm imagining the weird and wonderful kinetic sculptures I could build with it.

UPDATE:

It was a really simply kit to make and worked first time with the supplied code. I'd highly recommend it for people wanting to have a go controlling motors with their Raspberry Pi. See a few pictures of it on my Flickr page.
