I have these two gauges, both 2 pointers concentric.
The top one has regular coils and with a small voltage and a capacitor I can have a smooth deflection on each pointer.
Here comes the bottom one.
has what seems to me 2 stepper motors
A 3v "pulsed by hand" applied to one wire makes the pointer move a little bit each time .
Need a Stepper for dummies approach as I cant figure the wiring nor the way to make it work, or better interface it.

Jack,
i never messed with steppers other than my little clock project and that was easy. You will either need to use SIOC and an OC stepper card, FS2Phidget and a phidget stepper board, or an Arduino board and Link2FS All will work with the last one probably the easiest. The wiring is easy to figure out using a multimeter. Google Stepper motors.
