i am making smartblinds that open depending on how much light is there. It also has a timer that opens the blinds in the morning. I was wondering if anybody could help me

design a circuit. If anyone can help me write code to run the stepper motor using a microcontroller; i would greatly appreciate any help.

thanks

    First thing is to learn about using the Basic Stamp. I'd suggest that you download the "What's a microcontroller" documentation from Parallax and work your way through that.

    As to your projects, a CDS cell and the RCTIME command can be used to detect light level. A real time clock like the Dallas chips can be used for time. In the Nuts and Volts column, there is a detailed description, code and connection diagram for using stepper motors.
