Introduction

The idea is to make a dead simple stripboard mounted Pololu A4983 Stepper Motor Driver and connect it to the existing RepRap electronics in order to bypass the noisy inefficient 2 H-bridge hack on the extruder controller. (at least until an all Pololu Electronics PCB design matures) I have it working with a temporary breadboard setup, but a better solution would be to mount it on stripboard...
