I purchased this neat little piece of surplus largely for the optics:
SHARP LASER ASSEMBLY - Surplus Shed
And it has a phenomenal little octagonal mirror attached to a stepper motor. I don't know exactly what I'll do with this gem, but I'd love to be able to activate and spin the stepper motor.
Challenge is - I don't know anything about running stepper motors...and, to be frank, I'm not incredibly interested in learning :yabbem:
Wikipedia seems to suggest that there are different configurations and types. From what I can tell, this motor has three (3) contacts. Is that enough information for someone to suggest a simple schematic for a basic driver?
