 * ///////////////////////////////////////////
 * 
 * This sketch illustrates the library's
 * "blocking" move functions -
 * i.e. the move will "pause" the arduino sketch
 * -- for non-blocking moves, see cheapStepper_newMoveTo.ino example
 * 
 * This sketch also shows how to set the RPM
 * and shows a few different types of move functions
 * - by steps or by degrees.
 * 
 * Blocking moves are useful if you need a specific RPM
 * but don't need your arduino to perform other functions
 * while the stepper is moving.

// first, include the library :)

#include <CheapStepper.h>

// and connect pins 8,9,10,11 to IN1,IN2,IN3,IN4 on ULN2003 board

 // let's create a boolean variable to save the direction of our rotation

boolean moveClockwise = true;

  stepper.setRpm(20); 
  /* Note: CheapStepper library assumes you are powering your 28BYJ-48 stepper
   * using an external 5V power supply (>100mA) for RPM calculations
   * -- don't try to power the stepper directly from the Arduino
   * 
   * accepted RPM range: 6RPM (may overheat) - 24RPM (may skip)
   * ideal range: 10RPM (safe, high torque) - 22RPM (fast, low torque)

  /* you can uncomment the above line if you think your motor
   * is geared 63.68395:1 (measured) rather than 64:1 (advertised)
