Controling a step motor, need help!

Archiver

I need help controlling a bipolar geared step motor (4 leads) with a
basic stamp 2. i know that you cant just hook them directly you need
some kind of a motor driver to control the step motor.
What motor driver should i use? can i build one or do i have to buy
it? i need a simple solution so that i could make the step motor do
the following:
- forward rotation
- reverse rotation
i dont need it 2 do any other fancy things just simple forward and
reverse (at about 60 rpm). i need the simplest motor driver to do this
that interfaces with basic stamp 2!

thanks alot!
