Lass den Stepper jede Sekunde einen Schritt im Uhrzeigersinn machen und alle fünf Sekunden wieder an den Ausgangspunkt zurückkehren.

/*
Pololu A4983 Stepper Driver + Mercury Motor SM-42BYG011-25 Stepper Motor

This code lets the stepper motor turn as fast as possible.
Use it to measure the current (Ampere) at the motor's power supply.
And limit the current with the little potentiometer on the stepper driver.
According to the specification (http://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/Robotics/SM-42BYG011-25.pdf)
it's 0.33A
If you do not limit the current the motor will be damaged!!!
