Current Code

This Arduino code defines pins to control a stepper motor and measure the current through its coils. It sets the pins as outputs, initializes serial communication, then enters a loop to set the coil polarities, read the analog current readings, convert them to milliamps, print the values and loop counter to the serial monitor, and shut down the coils between loops.
