Hello,
Sorry in advance if this is a stupid question. I decided to make something with an Arduino. As a project I chose an M&M dispenser. I wanted a stepper motor that would spin at the push of a button, with a wheel attached with a chamber embedded in it. A bit like a gumball machine, with the difference that the spinning is not done using human power, but with the help of a motor. Can you connect a stepper motor including the driver and the button to an Arduino Nano, or does it not have enough connections? I already know the required circuit from several tutorials. I'm quite new to Arduino, but have experience with CAD and 3D printing, so making the housing and other components will not be a problem.
Thank you in advance for your reply.
