Code Testing Stage

Having trouble with using the larger stepper motor however many resources online have wiring charts and codes which I am playing experimenting with. 

Images:

1. Stepper Motor driver. Allows larger stepper motors to be driven from Arduino chips.

2. Arduino Nano fixed to  breadboard

3. Microphone for readings of sound

Detail images of final mechanism. 

NEMA17 Stepper Motor - very similar to motors used in UPBOX printers

First look at the extrusion and gantry slider. Wiring and getting this small stepper motor was straight forward however the 28BYJ motor had very little speed. 

The Idler bearing can be seen in the third photograph. This will hold the GT2 belt stable on the non driving end of the mechanism.
