Thanks Mark. This is very close to what I am looking for but it needs, *"**12 volt DC power supply with a current rating of 500mA". *The best I can give is a 9V battery, 4 AA batteries, or some lithium ion battery and I want it to last few weeks if not few months. I wonder if an old Nokia phone can turn a stepper or servo just like it does to a vibrator?
