I've been glancing over the forum's to try and get a feel for stpper motors only to be even more confused than when I started, namely in the area as to how you can control them with a microcontroller (like the BS2p40). Do you need seperate hardware to control them? How many pins from the micro·does each motor need?
Please help

You'll need to check your motor current ratings against the output capability of the ULN2803 or L293D. Very large steppers will probably require a specialized driver cicuit.
