-====== Stepper motor ======
-Stepper motors can very generally be divided into unipolar and bipolar steppers.
-Unipolar stepper motors are characterized by their centre-tapped windings, which
-divide two coils into four. Stepper motors have neither built-in brushes nor internal
-electronics, meaning that all commutation must be performed externally. The most
-common commutation type is the open-loop mode: the motor driver energizes the
-coils following a certain pattern, but uses no feedback. Steps can be missed in case of
-motor shaft torque overload. Missed steps cause inaccurate positioning. Bipolar
-stepper motors usually have four wires and two separate coils inside; they have many
-features similar to those of unipolar steppers. Unipolar stepper motors can be run as
-bipolar stepper motors, but not vice versa.

-  - Make sure all power is off.
-  - Connect the actuator board and main board with a 26-pin cable.
-  - Connect the stepper to the actuator board, as shown in Figure. Note: The unipolar motor cable must be properly connected (wires a and b, according to figure 1, connects to pin 1 and 2 on connector UNI1 or UNI2).
-  - Connect the JTAG converter with the ATmega128 main board and the PC.
-  - Finally, connect the power to the main and actuator boards.
