I bought K142D because my stepper motor was a 6 wire motor.

I cobbled together a simple pulse generator on a breadboard using a 555 timer IC. Power is supplied by my benchtop power supply.

At the moment it is circuit boards and wires dangling everywhere. I need to tidy it all up now and fit it into a box.

I will try to take a picture of the electronics tonight but I must warn you it isn't pretty.
