Describe the enhancement

ULN2003 is a controller which can drive multiple outputs. Currently, the implementation uses ULN2003 as a stepper component which controls position of the stepper motor. However, it can be also used for example for peristaltic pumps which only run on + and - , therefore not needing all 4 outputs for single motor. I can for example control 4 motors with 4 outputs and I can still control a speed.

This is to implement option to select a different mode for the ULN2003 component and to define 1 GPIO pin for one pump and another GPIO pin for second pump.

Use cases

Using this component to control peristaltic pumps to pump chlorine and acid to pool to control its ph and so.

Anything else?
