Stepper motor control via serial

Hi
I have a stepper motor and PCB from www.milinst.com and have connect the
device to my PC through the serial. When using the downloadable application
for the device, I receive a comms error.

Does anyone know how to send data to the device to get the motor to turn?

Regards, Carl Gilbert

Hi,

What is the error? Do you have the source code? I don't have specific
device, so I cannot offer any advice without more information.
