There are many options for controlling the stepper motor. Here are some suggestions:

  - `Tic T825 USB Multi-Interface Stepper Motor Controller <https://www.pololu.com/product/3130>`_ by Pololu. They have good documenation and a lot of options for programming the controller, including a Desktop GUI application.
  - An `Arduino Uno <https://www.adafruit.com/product/50>`_  along with a `stepper motor shield <https://www.adafruit.com/product/1438>`_
