Re: [APML] Stepper motor speed controller?

[Brian larmay <power_windows4789@yahoo.com>]

Hi Steve...i did the next best thing...

I went out and bought the right potentiometer for the
drive, a soldering iron, and some solder.

Thing is, i installed it, but it still doesnt work.

The red light is on showing power, but there is
absolutley no noise or movement coming from the
stepper.

I did go to that guys house that lives down the
street, but no one came to the door.

Im stumped.
Any ideas?
