I have a new friend at work who does some very cool hobby projects. He is a homeschool dad with four girls and an amazing ability to teach. He created an Instructable with a video on how to control a disk drive stepper motor with a Raspberry Pi connected to a motor drive. You can find the instructable here. The video and descriptive material (complete with links to materials and ancillary information) speak for themselves.
