Re: [myhdl-list] Commercial support / training classes

[Andrew S. <g.a...@gm...>]

I also have a small stepper motor controller implementation that could be
used for a class (after review by some experts :-)).

The only problem with it is that you have to hook up a stepper motor driver
chip.  You can do this on a breadboard, but it entails hooking up about 10
wires.  Sort of a waste of time during a class.  I used the L298N driver
chip which can come as a thru-hole part.

Cheers!
Andrew
