Guys,
I have never wired up a stepper motor before, so am getting a little lost.
What i have is a Peter Anderson supplied Kiwi Patch board with a 20m. All good - i can program that and talk to it etc.
I then have a SN754410 which is a higher current drop in (apparently) for the L293D. Spec sheet here

I then have this stepper motor. Which is a bipolar stepper motor with 4 wires.

I wish to use the 20m to be able to drive this forwards and backwards - i have a couple of limit switches and an LDR.
I just do not have any idea of
1) How many pins on the 20m will i need to use - 1 assume 4 but not sure.
2) Which pins do i wire these to on the Controller
3) Which pins on the controller correspond with which coloured wires on the motor.
This is i assume all pretty basic for the old hands - but having never done it before i thought i would ask the brains trust.
regards
Craig
