How to control stepper motor with firefly?

Hi,

I have controlled servo motor with firefly lately but i couldnt find any way to control stepper motor through it...

The (Attach Files) is the way I control one servo motor in arduion with firefly.

Is there any solution that i can control stepper motor there speed/angle through sliders.Please help me to write firefly and how to connect motors with arduino ~ thanks

Hi Ali-Huang,

Have you looked at the stepper example file? You'll find all of the Firefly examples under MyDocuments/Firefly/Examples... and the file you may want to review is Firefly_10_StepperControl.gh.

thanks you Andy~

I understand how to control one stepper motor,but I do not know how to control multiple stepper motors by slider with firefly.

thanks~

I can control 4 stepper with uno board,but how to write more than 4 value if I want to control more 4 stepper with mega board,because the instruction(quad stepper motor setup) only have 4 import

thanks you

U didn't meet the port error when many stepper run at the same time ?

Hi Andy.. Does Firefly operate step motors only with easy drivers and quad boards, not with ULN 2003A for example?

the uln board is lighting up showing that it received the signal! but the motor does not move !

Controlling a stepper motor with Firefly usually requires clear mapping between the plugin outputs and the motor driver inputs. You’ll need stable command timing and enough buffer space to handle pulses without jitter. While the RC28F256K3C120 isn’t directly part of motor control, reliable non-volatile memory like this can store calibration profiles or motion presets that improve repeatability when you reload your Firefly definitions. Adjust pulse rates carefully.
