Hello all. This post will be a long one, but I have ZERO programming experience, so I need a little guidance.

The code does not look like code that was created by someone with ZERO experience.

Tell us what stepper motor drivers you are using

Create a program that makes one motor move in the way that you need.

Have a look at these links
