ARC And Go Pro

Question is - how do I interface the stepper motor with the EZB? I have Kollmoren P22 stepper motor - 8 wires, capable of bipolar, unipolar and parallel operation. I guess I need a recommended drive...

Connecting Leds To The Ez-B V4

Hi, I am just taking my first steps with my ez-b v4. I would like to connect some LEDs to the ez-b v4. Maybe some colorful ones that light permanently and an LED that can switch colors? (RGB-LED?)
