3 Stepper motors using MotorShield: EasyDriver, is it possible?

I want to control 3 stepper motors. I have an Arduino Uno hooked up to a Motorshield V2 (Overview | Adafruit Motor Shield V2 | Adafruit Learning System).

I know I can use this MotorShield to control 2 stepper motors, and I was wondering if I could just hook it up to an EasyDriver (EasyDriver - Stepper Motor Driver - ROB-12779 - SparkFun Electronics) to control the 3rd stepper motor as well.

Thank you!

You need two free digital I/O pins on the Arduino to control the Easydriver.

I still have those pins available when I'm using the MotorShield... so are you saying that it will work just fine?

yes

Thanks a lot!
