I was trying to use a STP42D306 stepper with a SeeedStudio Motor Shield V2 on an Arduino. This is a bipolar 2 phase stepper motor. I needed to modify the code to get it working as the SeeedStudio example is for a Unipolar motor. The code used is below. And here’s a pic of the setup:
No guarantee that I’ve done it correctly, but the motor spins clockwise/anticlockwise. There are some nice diagrams of the stepping process here.

A view weeks ago I fell over and basically scratched my head. However health care in Japan being how it is (of varying quality, but nothing if not high-tech) I could get an MRI done for about $70. I jumped at the chance, because I’ve always wanted to see inside my own head.
Anyway, for your viewing pleasure here are my MRI images, the raw DICOM data is also available as a tarball incase anyone playing with these systems is looking for a test dataset.
Remove consecutive lines where the 2nd item is the same:
awk '{if($2 != v) print $0; v=$2}'
