Dipping into the Arduino Uno pool- Now what?

I've not used the eensy weensy driver boards like above. However it's pretty easy to find a tba6600 style driver boards for $10 that has screw terminals for wires. Much easier to use.
 
Playing with motor control is definitely fun. Been working on my own electronic lead screw.

I like how cheap this stuff is.

I didn’t find anything under your description, tba6600.
Could you please point one out for me
 
Maybe a TB6612?

Later on this morning I will find you the link. I found it on Amazon by searching for stepper motor driver. Last night it was listed at $9.95. The driver chip itself is a Toshiba TBA6600, I think. It's a lower end controller, but super easy to use for NEMA-17 and under steppers.

What's nice about these units is they are compact and easy to integrate into a box and have little screw connections. You remove the connector, install the wires and plug it in. Much easier to harness, in my opinion, than units with permanent terminal blocks.
 
I believe @WobblyHand is referring to a stepper dive such as this.

Digital Stepper Driver 0.3-2.2A 10-30VDC for Nema 8, 11, 14, 16, 17 Stepper Motor - DM320T | StepperOnline

Product description: This is a digital stepper drive implemented with advanced stepper control technology. It is easy to use and it can be used to drive 2-phase and 4-phase motors(from Nema 8-Nema 17 size) smoothly with less heat and noise. | Product mode

StepperOnline is my go-to for low cost stepper products. They also have an Amazon and eBay store.
 
Whoops, should be TB6600. The one that I was referring to is the Usongshine unit. Just under $10. Gee, wish I had bought that one, I paid $20 for the same unit elsewhere. Looks identical. Anyways, mine works fine. As long as the pulse to it is greater than 2 microseconds, it steps the motor.

Not quite, the unit I was looking at was up to 4A.

Stepper Online is where I got my NEMA24 kit. Decent price if you use the eBay or Amazon store. If you go direct, the shipping charges were ridiculous. I priced it out on their website and they wanted over $70 shipping. Slightly more expensive on eBay, but free shipping. Saved $50 or more going via eBay. Got the kit in a week.
