LESSON 12: STEP MOTOR
Introduction
In this lesson we'll learn about the step motor, step motor similar to the servo is another kind of "motor" but unlike
the servo it can turn up to 360 degrees and keep turning around to both direction.
The step motor is controlled by a special "driver", without this driver we are unable to control the step motor
directly from the raspberry pi.
The step motor is very very useful specially for precise required applications such as robotics, 3D printers and so on
... where we need a precise movements based on number of "steps".
In our example we'll learn how to control the step motor by giving it the amount of steps we want it to turn around.
