Basically I need to build a control circuit for the motor which compromises of 2 parts hardware and software. About the hardware I need to figure out a befiting current limiting circuit using comparator, 555timer and a nand gate. But I have no idea how I am meant to com up with this.
did you know that any common stepper motor is also a switched reluctance motor? -its just essentially over driven, and run saturated the whole time, the magnets just providing the holding torque?
if you spend 5 minutes googling.. you can find PHD thesis material on switched reluctance motors.

When you do it right. I clock the buhjesus-beans out of mine with about 50V on a 12V motor. Gets them coils up to speed pretty fast!
But the other thing the magnets do is provide starting direction. Tonerobanks - can your motor self-start, or are you going to have to spin it? There seems to be only one pole there...
