Electronics are In!

I ordered some parts last weekend from SparkFun and they've already arrived! Pictured from left to right is the Arduino UNO R3, the L6570 Stepper Driver Breakout Board, and a 68oz.-in Stepper Motor with 400 steps/revolution.

The Stepper I chose had a higher current draw than what was supported on the Easy Driver or Big Easy stepper controllers, so I had to step up (haha, step) to a bigger board. Plus, the L6570 supports up to 128 microsteps per full step. This could help theoretically increase my resolution even further.
