Potentiometer, PIC 16F..., LD293 H-bridge, RS232 level shifter and some other minor stuff. The main intellectual property lies in the firmware.

Problem 1: The power jack was broken Problem 2: The magnet had fallen off and homing didn't work anymore. Problem 3: The thread on the stepper motor (plastic) is pretty worn out, so I ha had to shift the motor.
