Measure Time Steps

This code measures the time steps of a motor moving at full steps and half steps in different directions (clockwise and counterclockwise) at varying speeds. It defines pin assignments for controlling two coils (A and B) of the motor, sets the motor speed, and uses loops to call functions for different step types while printing the elapsed time between each step to the serial monitor.
