#define STEP_PIN 2
#define DIR_PIN 3

// Create a stepper motor object
Stepper stepper(200, STEP_PIN, DIR_PIN);

void setup() {
  // Initialize stepper motor
  stepper.setSpeed(100);
}

void loop() {
  // Move the stepper motor 100 steps forward
  stepper.step(100);
  delay(1000);
  
  // Move the stepper motor 100 steps backward
  stepper.step(-100);
  delay(1000);
}
```

void setup() {
  // Initialize servo motor
  servo.attach(SERVO_PIN);
}

void loop() {
  // Move the servo motor to 0 degrees (retract)
  servo.write(0);
  delay(1000);
  
  // Move the servo motor to 90 degrees (extend)
  servo.write(90);
  delay(1000);
