I purchased a "TOAUTO Integrated Closed-Loop Nema23 Stepper Motor with Driver IHSS57-36-20 2Nm 36V Position Encoder for Lazer 3D Printer CNC Control" from Amazon.
I also purchased an ELEGOO UNO R3 Arduino starter kit which includes the UNO R3.
I tried following the tutorials the kit provides, but when I tried to control the "TOAUTO Nema23 Stepper Motor" with the UNO R3 it didn't rotate or anything. I connected the PUL+ and DIR+ with 4.7K resistors to pins 11 and 9 on the UNO R3. The PUL- and DIR- are connected to Ground. The motor itself is powered by a 36V power supply with a 100uf capacitor. The motor is set to 6400 steps.
I included pictures of how I wired everything.
My end goal is to make a diy gaming PC steering wheel.
The code I used is:

/*
Stepper Motor Control - one revolution
This program drives a unipolar or bipolar stepper motor.
The motor is attached to digital pins 8 - 11 of the Arduino.
The motor should revolve one revolution in one direction, then
one revolution in the other direction.
*/
#include <Stepper.h>
const int stepsPerRevolution = 6400; // change this to fit the number of steps per revolution
const int rolePerMinute = 15; // Adjustable range of 28BYJ-48 stepper is 0~17 rpm
// initialize the stepper library on pins 8 through 11:
Stepper myStepper(stepsPerRevolution, 9, 11);
void setup() {
myStepper.setSpeed(rolePerMinute);
// initialize the serial port:
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
// step one revolution in one direction:
Serial.println("clockwise");
myStepper.step(stepsPerRevolution);
delay(500);
// step one revolution in the other direction:
Serial.println("counterclockwise");
myStepper.step(-stepsPerRevolution);
delay(500);
}
