This script uses the Arduino Serial Monitor to receive an input to dynamically control different parameters of a stepper motor. This parameters are:
- Motor Speed (RPM)
- Motor Steps
- Motor Direction (either 1 (FORWARD) or 2 (BACKWARD))
- Motor Style (either 1 (SINGLE), 2 (DOUBLE), 3 (INTERLEAVE), 4 (MICROSTEP))
Example Input: <10, 20, 1, 1> which translates to:
- Set Motor Speed to 10 RPM
- Perform 20 Steps
- Move FORWARD
- in SINGLE steps
NB: This script is based on the excellent post by Robin2: https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=396450.0. The post explains the difficulties when transfering data to the Arduino and how to address them. The script is based on Example 5. I adjusted this script to work with the above stepper motor parameters.
