Thanks...

Andrew,
The Easydriver 4.x circuit is a bipolar driver. Any bipolar (4 wire) stepper motor can be driven by the easydriver. A unipolar (6, 8 wire) can be made into a pseudo bipolar by appropriate wiring. You can determine the pinouts and type by measuring the coils. There are lots of tutorials on line about steppers inc how to measure the coils to determine wiring.
I'm not familiar with the Arduino but it is probably the same.
