Stepper motor to shut/open door

Other Hardware Motors, Mechanics, Power and CNC
1

Hello All,

I am new to Arduino, and have recently bought UNO R3 Mega328P, and 5V 4 phase stepper motor with driver board ULN2003.

Now my requirement is to open and shut the door in 1 second. Further, want to open and shut the door in time interval determined by user.

Can anyone help me with a sample code.

Thanks,
Niket

I assume, since you mention the ULN2003 that you have a 28BYJ stepper motor.

There are dozens for Forum Threads about them.

That said, a servo might be a more convenient device for opening and closing a door.

The door? What door?

Anyway you need to output a given number of steps at a given rate, which stepper libraries have you
looked at? Have you gone through some of their examples?
