Symbolic names for number of pins. Use this in the pins argument the AccelStepper constructor to provide a symbolic name for the number of pins to use. More...
This defines a single 2 or 4 pin stepper motor, or stepper moter with fdriver chip, with optional acceleration, deceleration, absolute positioning commands etc. Multiple simultaneous steppers are supported, all moving at different speeds and accelerations.
Operation
This module operates by computing a step time in microseconds. The step time is recomputed after each step and after speed and acceleration parameters are changed by the caller. The time of each step is recorded in microseconds. The run() function steps the motor once if a new step is due. The run() function must be called frequently until the motor is in the desired position, after which time run() will do nothing.
Positioning
Positions are specified by a signed long integer. At construction time, the current position of the motor is consider to be 0. Positive positions are clockwise from the initial position; negative positions are anticlockwise. The current position can be altered for instance after initialization positioning.
-
Caveats
This is an open loop controller: If the motor stalls or is oversped, AccelStepper will not have a correct idea of where the motor really is (since there is no feedback of the motor's real position. We only know where we think it is, relative to the initial starting point).

This is an open loop controller: If the motor stalls or is oversped, AccelStepper will not have a correct idea of where the motor really is (since there is no feedback of the motor's real position. We only know where we think it is, relative to the initial starting point).
Performance
The fastest motor speed that can be reliably supported is about 4000 steps per second at a clock frequency of 16 MHz on Arduino such as Uno etc. Faster processors can support faster stepping speeds. However, any speed less than that down to very slow speeds (much less than one per second) are also supported, provided the run() function is called frequently enough to step the motor whenever required for the speed set. Calling setAcceleration() is expensive, since it requires a square root to be calculated.
Gregor Christandl reports that with an Arduino Due and a simple test program, he measured 43163 steps per second using runSpeed(), and 16214 steps per second using run();

Constructor. You can have multiple simultaneous steppers, all moving at different speeds and accelerations, provided you call their run() functions at frequent enough intervals. Current Position is set to 0, target position is set to 0. MaxSpeed and Acceleration default to 1.0. The motor pins will be initialised to OUTPUT mode during the constructor by a call to enableOutputs().
Parameters

interface
Number of pins to interface to. Integer values are supported, but it is preferred to use the MotorInterfaceType symbolic names. AccelStepper::DRIVER (1) means a stepper driver (with Step and Direction pins). If an enable line is also needed, call setEnablePin() after construction. You may also invert the pins using setPinsInverted(). Caution: DRIVER implements a blocking delay of minPulseWidth microseconds (default 1us) for each step. You can change this with setMinPulseWidth(). AccelStepper::FULL2WIRE (2) means a 2 wire stepper (2 pins required). AccelStepper::FULL3WIRE (3) means a 3 wire stepper, such as HDD spindle (3 pins required). AccelStepper::FULL4WIRE (4) means a 4 wire stepper (4 pins required). AccelStepper::HALF3WIRE (6) means a 3 wire half stepper, such as HDD spindle (3 pins required) AccelStepper::HALF4WIRE (8) means a 4 wire half stepper (4 pins required) Defaults to AccelStepper::FULL4WIRE (4) pins.

enable
If this is true (the default), enableOutputs() will be called to enable the output pins at construction time.
Poll the motor and step it if a step is due, implementing accelerations and decelerations to achieve the target position. You must call this as frequently as possible, but at least once per minimum step time interval, preferably in your main loop. Note that each call to run() will make at most one step, and then only when a step is due, based on the current speed and the time since the last step.
Returns
true if the motor is still running to the target position.
Poll the motor and step it if a step is due, implementing a constant speed as set by the most recent call to setSpeed(). You must call this as frequently as possible, but at least once per step interval,
Runs at the currently selected speed until the target position is reached. Does not implement accelerations.
Returns
true if it stepped
+
Executes runSpeed() unless the targetPosition is reached. This function needs to be called often just like runSpeed() or run(). Will step the motor if a step is required at the currently selected speed unless the target position has been reached. Does not implement accelerations.
Sets the minimum pulse width allowed by the stepper driver. The minimum practical pulse width is approximately 20 microseconds. Times less than 20 microseconds will usually result in 20 microseconds or so.
Called to execute a step on a 4 pin half-steper motor. Only called when a new step is required. Subclasses may override to implement new stepping interfaces. The default sets or clears the outputs of pin1, pin2, pin3, pin4.
