Motor Shield - Stepper Motor

Using the Motor Shield for controlling a stepper motor is about the same amount of effort as it would be to run it if you had a ULN2003, however, the wiring is a more tedious in this case since you have to run all 5 wires directly into the shield, rather than plug it into an adapter board.

Wiring

The shield needs external 5V power which can be supplied via a Power Supply Module (as shown above).  The Stepper Motors wires are connected directly to the blue output screw clips.  The wiring mapping is shown in the table below.
