[Lab] 3.6k pot (Darcy Whyte)

[Darcy Whyte]

I guess if I plug to 120 I can use steppers. There's no time for parts
order for halloween though. :)

I have soom of those steppers. They need four pins each I think. So I guess
that's just 16 pins for four spiders...

I'll have a look and see if I can figure out those drivers quickly..
