Communication to the Sangaboard unipolar motor driver

pySangaboard

This is the Python module that communicates with the Sangaboard, an open-source board for driving unipolar stepper motors. It also supports older versions of the Sangaboard based on an Arduino Nano and a pair of Darlington driver ICs.
