Library Description

The library covers all the necessary functions that enables the usage of the Stepper 10 Click board. It initializes and defines the I2C driver and drivers that allow full control of the device to the user.

Key functions:

• void stepper8_motor_start( void ) - Start Movement
• void stepper8_motor_stop ( void  - Stop Movement
• void stepper8_process ( void ) - Stepper State Machine

Examples description

The application is composed of three sections :

• System Initialization - Initializes all GPIO pins found on Stepper 8 Click.
• Application Initialization - Initializes driver, stepper control, maximum and minimum speed, acceleration ratio and motor work mode.
• Application Task - Starting motor according to a predefined configuration.

void application_task ( )
{
    uint8_t status;
    
    stepper8_motor_start( );
    status = stepper8_get_run_status( );
    while ( status == 1 )
    {
        status = stepper8_get_run_status( );
        stepper8_process(  );
    }
    stepper8_motor_stop( );
    Delay_ms( 2000 );
}

Other mikroE Libraries used in the example:

• UART library
• I2C library

Additional notes and informations

Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART click, USB UART 2 click or RS232 click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. The terminal available in all MikroElektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.
