Re: Phase stepping implemented, not tested on hardware

Phase Stepper folk

I've got to admit that it is late and I'm nearly brain dead but could
someone clarify this whole thing for me?  

My first thought was that with one bit we might be refering to the
purchase of the cabin on Walden Pond for 12.5 cents.

My second thought is that somehow these bits can be translated into
signals, that when amplified and fed directly to the windings of a
stepper motor, cause it to turn.  If this is true, how would you set up
such a circuit.  

I think I'd be happy to be a "brave tester."  I've already got the smoke
hood in place above the bench.
