## Example Sketches
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Below is a simple sketch demonstrating the above methods:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```C++
|
||||||
|
// StepperControl Example using TB6612-based Driver Board with HALF STEP PWM MODE
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#include "Stepper_TB6612.h" // include the driver for a TB6612 chip
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
StepperControl *motor; // create a global pointer to StepperControl so it can be accessed in both setup() and loop()
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
///////////////////
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
void setup() {
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Serial.begin(115200);
|
||||||
|
delay(1000);
|
||||||
|
Serial.printf("\nHomeSpan Stepper Control\n\n");
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
motor=new Stepper_TB6612(23,32,22,14,33,27); // instantiate the motor object with optional PWM pin specified (33 and 27)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
motor->setStepType(StepperControl::HALF_STEP); // set the mode to HALF STEP, which means 400 steps are needed for a complete revolution of a 200-step motor
|
||||||
|
motor->setAccel(10,20); // add acceleration parameters: extra delay is 10x, decaying over 20 steps
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Serial.printf("Moving motor 400 steps and waiting until motor stops...\n");
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
motor->move(-400,5); // move the motor -400 steps (1 revolution), with 5ms between steps.
|
||||||
|
while(motor->stepsRemaining()); // wait until there no remaining steps
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Serial.printf("Moving motor to absolute position of +1200 (i.e reverse direction for 1600 steps, or 4 revolutions) without waiting...\n");
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
motor->moveTo(1200,2,StepperControl::BRAKE); // move the motor to an absolute position of 1200 steps with 2ms between steps; enter brake state when done
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
// Motor will continue moving in background even once setup() exits and loop() below starts
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
///////////////////
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
void loop(){
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Serial.printf("Motor has %d remaining steps\n",motor->stepsRemaining());
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
delay(1000); // motor is unaffected by delay()
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
if(motor->position()==1200){
|
||||||
|
Serial.printf("Motor has reached final position and is now stopped.\n");
|
||||||
|
while(1);
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A fully worked example showing how to use the *StepperControl* class within a complete HomeSpan sketch to control a Motorize Window Shade can be found in the Arduino IDE under [*File → Examples → HomeSpan → Other Examples → StepperMotorControl*](../examples/Other%20Examples/StepperMotorControl).
