This is a stepper driver using an ATMEGA168 for three steppers.
It takes step and direction from your gcode interpreter
(in this case another ATMEGA168 running 5-D on Arduino)
and drives three stepper motors accordingly.
(There are only 2 steppers in the pic because that all I have but it is set up & tested for 3.)
(The code is crude and simplistic but I have not been programing long & it DOES work)
There are no libraries needed to run this, it really is just as simple as it seems.
Future development should integrate Two-Wire Control (see:) http://www.tigoe.net/pcomp/code/circuits/motors/stepper-motors this will free up 6 pins allowing the extruder to be included.
