Walk through, using a Due and lower power stepper motor drivers

This walk through will show how to assemble an Arduino Due with 4 lower power stepper motors, configure them for operation, install g2core on the Due, and then install + configure useful extra hardware (limit switches).
The same principle can be applied to higher power ("external") stepper motors, though it's a much better idea to buy a shield for the Due specifically for this purpose.
The significant pieces we'll be working with in this guide:
- Arduino Due
- 4 x lower power stepper motors
- 4 x lower power stepper motor drivers
- A power supply, for the stepper motors
- 3 x limit switches (TBD)
General supporting pieces we need for the above to work:
- Something to mount the stepper motor drivers on. We're using generic protoboard in this instance.
- Jumper leads to connect things
- A USB-A to micro-USB cable, for connecting my computer to the Arduino Due
