Notes from last night's tests: stepping the stepper is done manually in the Spin Arduino sketch by flipping pin 9 on and off. In JS, we should be able to:
var dir = 1,
interval = setInterval(function () {
Demo.board.digitalWrite(9, dir);
dir = dir === 0 ? 1 : 0;
}, 300);
But this doesn't seem to be working; perhaps USB power isn't enough for the stepper EasyDriver?
Also -- I found that firmata.js
has a stepperStep function:
// Board.prototype.stepperStep = function(deviceNum, direction, steps, speed, accel, decel, callback)
// example use:
Demo.board.stepperStep(2, Demo.board.STEPPER.DIRECTION.CCW, 10000, 2000, function(complete) { console.log('complete'); })

Spin is a SoftModem-based 360 degree spinning photo table for making gifs: http://spin.media.mit.edu
To make a purely web based version, we could use the above code interspersed with webjack-firmata commands to move the platform. We'd have to add some more timing code though.
Spin easyDriver motor pins are 9 and... 13? Gotta look that up but shouldn't be hard.
