MORE and MORE testing.

I found my steppers!! I am buying the high torque steppers from robokits. Here is the problem:I am buying six-wire steppers and I need five wire steppers for the controller board. The difference is that the two ground wires are combined in five-wires and they are separate in six-wire. Wait to you see my ingenious solution. I laid out a board in Eagle that has a six-pin header on one side and a five pin header on the other. Look at this:
I ordered 3 from BatchPCB last night.

Testing, Testing, 123....5

I am trying out BatchPCB for the first time. I just placed my order, and all seems well.
I just tried futurlec for my CNC project, and as you can see, it went well. I am just experimenting with different companies. Expect a review shortly.
I'm going to bed.

Wiring Diagram

I FOUND A WIRING DIAGRAM!!!!!!!!!! NO MORE GOING BY MY GUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, I finished the circuit boards for my iPod chargers!!!
