Program to Control Automated Turret

Hi!
I'm new here, and my only experience in coding is in a program called Stencyl. I've been trying to learn the latest Visual Basic for Desktop Applications, but it doesn't look like serious programming is for me...

Anyways, I'm building a sort of wooden turret that will hold and fire an air cannon automatically. The motors that power it are called stepper motors, and they don't work like normal motors; you use a computer to send info to a control board which then spins the motor in a very specific speed or a specific part of a rotation (steps). This will let me point the device to an exact angle, or give really fine control over it. So, I need to write a program which lets me control the board and motors, but I really suck at coding so far.

I really hate to just say, "do this for me for free", but my budget won't allow me to hire a professional, and it is a pretty small program. I'm sure a Visual Basic veteran could do it in a few days, and I won't actually need it for at least a month from now. I just thought I'd throw it out there and see if somebody wanted to help me figure it out, or take on a little side project, or collaborate on it. If anybody is interested, I'll post more details about the project.

Thanks,
Marcus
