Ugh i just bought this stepper motor to use on my arduino only to learn ....that i have yet to learn how to attach one to my arduino or how to program it. All i need to do is spin it (does not matter which direction)..
can anyone help?
thanks in advance
Sorry! Forgot to mention which stepper motor I purchased... heres a link

First off, try this thread:

You might also give google a shot; plenty of information is out there to learn how to interface and control stepper motors (you didn't mention what kind of motor you have though, we'll need at least that information or a model number or something to help you further).
[edit]Our posts crossed...thanks for posting that info. Take a look at this:

Something I am curious about though - you state:

I sincerely hope you don't approach everything in life this way, or you are going to find a ton of obstacles, a lot of grief, and most likely a much lighter wallet or purse in your future (they'll see you comin' from a mile away)...
