At the moment I am working on a code that should send a plateau to a certain position and back. The plateau is being moved by the stepper, in my case a Nema 17 with a Polulu DRV8825 driver. Everything is hooked up correctly. My goal is to press '4' on the keyboard and that then the stepper moves to a certain position. However, I am not succeeding in this. I am using AccelStepper and at the moment I have the following code:
#include <AccelStepper.h> AccelStepper stepper(1, 5, 4); int spd = 1000; // The current speed in steps/second int sign = 1; // Either 1, 0 or -1 int buttonState = 0; void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); stepper.setMaxSpeed(1000); stepper.setSpeed(1000); } void loop() { char c; if (Serial.available()) { c = Serial.read(); if (c == 'f') { // forward sign = 1; } if (c == 'r') { // reverse sign = -1; } if (c == 's') { // stop sign = 0; } if (c == '1') { // super slow spd = 100; } if (c == '2') { // medium spd = 900; } if (c == '3') { // fast spd = 1000; } if (c == '4') { //not working, does anyone know how to do this? stepper.moveTo(500); } stepper.setSpeed(sign * spd); } stepper.runSpeed(); } Does anyone have tips or know how to achieve this?
Thanks is advance!
stepper.run()instead of runSpeed, for moveTo to work.
