This fork follows the [upstream version](http://www.airspayce.com/mikem/arduino/AccelStepper/). Files are slightly reorganized to follow Arduino library conventions to allow for inclusion into the Arduino IDE library manager.

This is the Arduino AccelStepper library. It provides an object-oriented interface for 2, 3 or 4 pin stepper motors and motor drivers.
|
|
|
|
The standard Arduino IDE includes the Stepper library (http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/Stepper) for stepper motors. It is perfectly adequate for simple, single motor applications.
|
|
|
|
AccelStepper significantly improves on the standard Arduino Stepper library in several ways:
|
|
|
|
- Supports acceleration and deceleration
|
|
- Supports multiple simultaneous steppers, with independent concurrent stepping on each stepper
|
|
- API functions never delay() or block
|
|
- Supports 2, 3 and 4 wire steppers, plus 3 and 4 wire half steppers.
|
|
- Supports alternate stepping functions to enable support of AFMotor (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Motor-Shield-library)
|
|
- Supports stepper drivers such as the Sparkfun EasyDriver (based on 3967 driver chip)
|
|
- Very slow speeds are supported
|
|
- Extensive API
|
|
- Subclass support
