Problem making a Stepper Motor Move?

$

Good day guys,

 

I bought this stepper motor to play around:

 

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DUSYEWY/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1#productDetails

 

It includes the very useful ULN2003 test board, which I am using to interface the MSP430 with the motor. The MSP430 is working perfectly fine (the Pins that are turned on have 3.3V), but the motor doesn't turn around. I am thinking that the reason that it isn't working is because I am powering the test module with the 5V that my Raspberry Pi provides.

 

I think these motors need around 500mA to work. Is there a way for me to get those mA to make the motor work?

 

I have left a picture of what I am trying to do so you guys can see.
