    #include "Stepper.h"

    // change the steps variable to the number of steps on your motor
    int steps = 100;

    // create and attaches a stepper motor
    // with 100 steps to pins 0, 1, 2 and 3

    Stepper stepper(steps, 0, 1, 2, 3);

    void setup()
    {
      // set the speed of the motor to 20 rpms
      stepper.setSpeed(20);
    }

    void loop()
    {
      // move 20 steps forward
      stepper.step(20);

      // move 20 steps backwards
      stepper.step(-20);
    }
