const {Board, Stepper} = require("johnny-five");
const board = new Board();

board.on("ready", () => {

   * In order to use the Stepper class, your board must be flashed with

    pins: {
      motor1: 10,
      motor2: 11,

    // once first movement is done, make 10 revolutions clockwise at previously
    //      defined speed, accel, and decel by passing an object into stepper.step
