Advanced Stepper Motor Use

Draft in Progress
Position Control
As well as treating the stepper as a continuously rotating motor, you can simply tell the stepper to change its “position” by a number of steps.

e.g. To turn 500 steps (approx 180 degrees on my motors) use

Note the use of change and not set

Advanced Stepper Control

Stepper motors need a delay between each step – this is currently set to 0.003 secs. You can control this value by using a variable called StepDelay.

You can also change the type of stepping mode from 2Coil (default value that gives maximum turning force) to 1Coil or HalfStep
