How to control stepper motor in different ways?

Hi, I'm trying to understand how to use this Firefly. Firstly, I could have controlled servo motor with Firefly. Now, I'm trying to control stepper motor however I couldn't.

I use Arduino Nano and L293D. There is no problem in my circuit because it worked with Arduino IDE. I couldn't control it's with Firefly. I just can take a reading value but I cannot take a writing value. I will add my circuits photos.

What is my problem? Could you help me?

You can control a stepper by simple step/direction pulses, by higher-level motion controllers, or via microstepping drivers that handle current limiting. For Grasshopper + Firefly, start with generating clean pulse trains and then layer on acceleration profiles. In higher-power audio or motor applications, modules like STK442-130 require similar care with supply filtering and thermal design.
