I am looking to control a stepper motor(for Position control) using labVIEW and Arduino. I bought M062-FD09E type stepper motor. I just want to know, if it would be compatible with Arduino. Iam new to Arduino. Is there any specific type of Arduino that can be used for this purpose? Also can you please tell about interfacing labVIEW, Arduino and motor?
Is there any separate driver needed between arduino and motor?
The Thread stepper motor basics should answer a lot of your questions. Please read all of it before you come back with more questions.
Then post a link to the datasheet for your motor.

You need to identify whether your motor is a unipolar or bipolar motor. You will needed a driver, unless you plan on making your H-bridges etc etc. I myself am currently waiting on a Pololu A4988 Driver. It is a good one to get for a bipolar stepper. Robin2's thread is worth a read - good stuff.
Just make sure to stick to specs for voltage a current - be sure to limit the current or you'll get smoke. Provided you stay within specs and driver your motor with its own power supply, you will be able to do lots of things with Arduino
Thank you so much
