[sdiy] Stepper motors

[Ben Riggs]

Funny, was just dealing with stepper motors at work the other week. I got a
book (at work though atm, I'm at home) which uses a 16f84 to control a
stepper motor, although a driver chip or driver transistors are still
required (duh).

Another solution maybe use a driver chip with the required decoder logic
inside, like UCN5804B (unipolar) or L297/L298 combo (bipolar). Much easier
to implement.

Does anyone know of a PIC or other software library for driving steppers?

I'm looking for routines that will seek to a given rotation - abs or 
relative, I don't mind.

Coding my own isn't too impossibly hard, but I'm not a in reinventing the 
wheel kind of mood and I thought I'd check if someone had done this already.
