So basically, I probably don't need the voltage regulator.
Do I need to get some wires and solder? Bread board project box or similar?
Now for the long wait for parts.
I am currently imaging the LMC as well as orion and I have noticed I can do far longer exposures for the LMC because of the much closer proximity to the southern pole. Fascinating!
It's huge. I didn't position the LMC correctly as I didn't know it was so large and the orientation isn't perfect, but the 100mm lens seems just right.
This is going to be a new favourite of mine to image.
Wow.
Only thing you need once you have the arduino, stepper motor and driver board, is a battery pack and some jumper wires.

You should need Female to female wires as the driver board and arduino both have male headers. Look up dupont cable on ebay. They come in different lengths. I'd get around 20cm as that gives you some flexibility with placement.
