Working with stepper motor

In this post I am going to connect a stepper motor with my Arduino. I want the stepper motor to turn left and right, and I want the stepper motor to turn a certain degrees.

Before programming I first need to connect the Arduino with the stepper motor.

The hardware I used:

• 7fets
• 28BYJ-48 Stepper Motor

( I also posted in Blog 14, I connected the 7fets with an lcd + display. This is something what of course is not needed )

As you can see in the image is that the stepper Motor has 5 coloured cables, that are all together in a white cube. These cables have to get connected with the 7fets. To do this you have to get 5 male to female cables. From cable blue to orange from the stepper motor it has to be connected to pin 2,4,6,8. The red cable can be put on pin 1, all the other places in the row that are dev power. ( Places where it can gets it's voltage ) ( out 1 till 4 , works different counts 0 till 3) ( in 1 till 4 )

Now the programming part:
