Shows how to use AccelStepper to control 2 x 2 phase steppers using the Itead Studio Arduino Dual Stepper Motor Driver Shield model IM120417015

// DualMotorShield.pde
// -*- mode: C++ -*-
//
// Shows how to run 2 simultaneous steppers
// using the Itead Studio Arduino Dual Stepper Motor Driver Shield
// model IM120417015
// This shield is capable of driving 2 steppers at 
// currents of up to 750mA
// and voltages up to 30V
// Runs both steppers forwards and backwards, accelerating and decelerating
// at the limits.
