Ever wondered how to control the speed and direction of a stepper motor with just a twist of your wrist using a potentiometer? In this Arduino stepper motor tutorial, I'll guide you through the entire wiring process so that every connection is crystal clear - from how to connect your stepper motor to the right motor driver and then to an Arduino Uno as well as adding a potentiometer to the circuit.

Then I'll break down the Arduino sketches, line-by-line, so you can truly understand the code and confidently modify them for your Arduino and stepper motor projects.
