Getting started - USB PnP stepper driver with software? Does one exist?

I’ve been looking for some time and have yet to see a good 4 channel stepper driver / controller that is USB or Serial based and includes a basic programming environment.

What I’m looking to do is run 4 steppers in microstepping with control over speed, direction and accelration.

There are a host of stepper drivers and micro controllers out there, but what i’m looking for is a one stop shop where i can get stepper drivers (up to 1A per), the controller and also some decent control software that allows routine programming.

Any help here is appreciated!

The closest we offer is the Phidgets Unipolar 4-Motor Stepper Motor Controller. It can do half steps, controls four motors, has a USB input and there is quite a lot of sample code available, including visual Basic 6.0, VB .NET, VB for Apps and VB Script…
