    Engineering A computer programme to controll 3 stepper motor

    Depends on what microcontroller you're going to control the steppers with. I used ATMEL before in the past, and they have good Application Notes you can read up on their http://www.atmel.com/products/AVR/mc/?family_id=607" to get started. Just do a CTRL+F search on steppers.
