Stepper motor boards, ICs and schematics are cheap and plentiful. There are chips, ULN something or other, do a search. I make my own stepper drivers- it's easy to do with a microcontroller, just an H-bridge and a handful of diodes. Unfortunately, I have little mechanical skill so that's where my projects fall apart- I could drive the motor, but I couldn't build up the mount for the camera :cry:

Good luck,
