The Arduino UNO compatible printed circuit board (PCB) shown in the book was designed using the Fritzing software (fritzing.org).
You do not need to install Fritzing if you want the PCB.
Step 1: Download the stepperDriver.fzz Fritzing file from BuildYourGuitar.com
Step 2: Upload the Fritzing file and order the PCB from aisler.net. The costs as of 2020 are about 17 Euros for two boards plus worldwide shipping plus VAT if applicable.
