    How powerful is that stepper motor? You know what happens to a stepper motor when it stalls? At worst it demagnetizes, at best, nothing.
    Stepper motors have no commutator, no brushes, no sparks, no increase in current (to speak of), very unlike a brushed motor which gets very Ticked Off when it stalls. So here is a thought, rig up a counter and count the steps between the ends of travel, and drive your motor that many steps + a few extra.
