which shield?
im using one from adafruit, it is a motor control shield and controls 2 motors.
I had been looking at the scripts available on here and i dont know how compatible it is without some major modification, that thing is a pin hog and the openmoco seems to be designed around something with less pins. the easydriver stepper control board seems like the best bet, it only uses 2 pins out of the arduino, one for step and one for direction, which seems to fit thier skethes
i used the motor control library from adafruit and had my motor spinning in no time. i went through thier tutorials and wrote out a sketch that seems to work pretty well with my timelapse robot.
