Figure 5.1. Pololu DC Motor and NEMA Stepper Motor
After printing a new motor support and input pin, the stepper motor was able to successfully power the mechanism. Control of the stepper motor was achieved via an Arduino Uno R3 with an Arduino Motor Shield Rev3. Figure 5.2 shows the wiring connections required to control the stepper motor with the Arduino components, and Figure 5.3 shows the Arduino code that instructs the stepper motor what speed to rotate at.
