I am quite new to this , I am trying to program two motors , aStepper and bStepper. I want the program to rotate aStepper then rotate the bStepper and when that is done rotate aStepper again , and then repeat. The first iteration works fine.However, it only does the loop once and the bStepper doesn't rotate again.
Am I doing something wrong with the loop?
(aStepper is the UNIPOLAR 28BYJ-48 connected to its driver , and bStepper is a Nema 17 connected to A4988)
#include <AccelStepper.h>
#include <Stepper.h>
#define StepsPerRotation 2038
#define dirPin 2
#define stepPin 3
#define motorInterfaceType 1
AccelStepper bStepper = AccelStepper(motorInterfaceType, stepPin, dirPin);
Stepper aStepper(StepsPerRotation, 8, 10, 9, 11);
void setup() {
bStepper.setMaxSpeed(200);
bStepper.setAcceleration(30);
}
void loop() {
aStepper.setSpeed(20);
aStepper.step(1016);
bStepper.moveTo(-6000);
bStepper.runToPosition();
aStepper.setSpeed(20);
aStepper.step(-1016);
}
Thank you in advance
bStepper
move again after the first time? You directed it to go to position -6000, so it will go to -6000 on the first run. On the second it already is there, so further movement
