Arduino_stepper_library

A stepper library for Arduino. Modified from the original Arduino library.

constructors for set up

Stepper(int number_of_steps, int motor_pin_1, int motor_pin_2);

Stepper(int number_of_steps, int motor_pin_1, int motor_pin_2, int motor_pin_3, int motor_pin_4);

Stepper(int number_of_steps, int motor_pin_1, int motor_pin_2, int motor_pin_3, int motor_pin_4, int use_half_step);

speed setter method:

void setSpeed(long whatSpeed);

• speed in RPMs

mover methods:

void stepForward(int steps_to_move);

void stepBackward(int steps_to_move);

• set speed first!
• moves smoothly in the forward or backward direction

shut down motor:

void stopMotor(void);

• shuts down pins to save energy and keep things cool.

half-step setter/getter method:

void setHalfStep(int half_step);

• sets half-step mode on/off

int getHalfStep(void);

• returns current half-step mode
