I guess this is where I should have started, but would you be willing to help me create a simpler project to help me understand this concept. Maybe instead of reading stepper motor pins, read the digital input from a button. Would you be willing to help provide some annotated code? Or maybe there is a project already like this with a tutorial somewhere? Im sorry I jumped in way over my head. The project seamed like a very simple one when I first began. Thanks to everyone for their patience. Thanks in advance.
