+  Stepper.h - - Stepper library for Wiring/Arduino - Version 0.4
+  
+  Original library     (0.1) by Tom Igoe.
+  Two-wire modifications   (0.2) by Sebastian Gassner
+  Combination version   (0.3) by Tom Igoe and David Mellis
+  Bug fix for four-wire   (0.4) by Tom Igoe, bug fix from Noah Shibley
+
+  Drives a unipolar or bipolar stepper motor using  2 wires or 4 wires
+
+  When wiring multiple stepper motors to a microcontroller,
+  you quickly run out of output pins, with each motor requiring 4 connections. 
+
+  By making use of the fact that at any time two of the four motor
+  coils are the inverse  of the other two, the number of
+  control connections can be reduced from 4 to 2. 
+
+  A slightly modified circuit around a Darlington transistor array or an L293 H-bridge
+  connects to only 2 microcontroler pins, inverts the signals received,
+  and delivers the 4 (2 plus 2 inverted ones) output signals required
+  for driving a stepper motor.
+
+  The sequence of control signals for 4 control wires is as follows:
+
+  Step C0 C1 C2 C3
+     1  1  0  1  0
+     2  0  1  1  0
+     3  0  1  0  1
+     4  1  0  0  1
+
+  The sequence of controls signals for 2 control wires is as follows
+  (columns C1 and C2 from above):
+
+  Step C0 C1
+     1  0  1
+     2  1  1
+     3  1  0
+     4  0  0
+
+  The circuits can be found at
