Get 10 Arduino sized PCBs for $5 at www.pcbway.com/ ! In this episode of my DIY budget 3D printer we're building a custom, GRBL and Marlin compatible, UNIPOLAR stepper motor driver to control the 28BYJ-48 based extruder!!! Chronic UniStep as I've decided to call it is just as easy to use as the ubiquitous A4988 for bipolar steppers - except it's a better fit for high-impedance unipolar motors like the ones you can salvage from e-waste! If you guys want me to open-source this invention let me know! Also I might have to do a seperate video to explain why you would use a dedicated unipolar stepper motor driver instead of just converting unipolar motors to bipolar like I had planned to do with all of mine...
Here's the test code I used:
