Stepper 2 Click is a complete solution for driving bipolar stepper motors with full/half and micro-steps. It features the A4988 IC from Allegro Microsystems with DMOS low RDSON drivers on its outputs, which ensure high efficiency and reliable operation of the internal H-Bridges. This IC has the integrated translator section, used to simplify the control: using simple step control inputs from the host MCU, the stepper motor can be driven in both directions, with the predetermined step sizes. In addition, the output current is regulated allowing for noiseless operation of the stepper motor, with no resonance and ringing typically observed at unregulated stepper driver designs.

We provide a library for the Stepper 2 Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.
This library contains API for Stepper 2 Click driver.
stepper2_cfg_setup
Config Object Initialization function.
void stepper2_cfg_setup ( stepper2_cfg_t *cfg );
stepper2_init
Initialization function.
err_t stepper2_init ( stepper2_t *ctx, stepper2_cfg_t *cfg );
stepper2_default_cfg
Click Default Configuration function.
void stepper2_default_cfg ( stepper2_t *ctx );
stepper2_drive_motor
This function drives the motor for the specific number of steps at the selected speed.
void stepper2_drive_motor ( stepper2_t *ctx, uint32_t steps, uint8_t speed );
stepper2_set_direction
This function sets the motor direction by setting the DIR pin logic state.
void stepper2_set_direction ( stepper2_t *ctx, uint8_t dir );
stepper2_enable_device
This function enables the device by setting the ENABLE pin to low logic state.
void stepper2_enable_device ( stepper2_t *ctx );
This example demonstrates the use of the Stepper 2 Click board by driving the motor in both directions for a desired number of steps.
The demo application is composed of two sections :
Initializes the driver and performs the Click default configuration.
void application_init ( void )
{
log_cfg_t log_cfg; /**< Logger config object. */
stepper2_cfg_t stepper2_cfg; /**< Click config object. */
/**
* Logger initialization.
* Default baud rate: 115200
* Default log level: LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG
* @note If USB_UART_RX and USB_UART_TX
* are defined as HAL_PIN_NC, you will
* need to define them manually for log to work.
* See @b LOG_MAP_USB_UART macro definition for detailed explanation.
*/
LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
log_info( &logger, " Application Init " );
// Click initialization.
stepper2_cfg_setup( &stepper2_cfg );

if ( DIGITAL_OUT_UNSUPPORTED_PIN == stepper2_init( &stepper2, &stepper2_cfg ) )
{

log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
}
Drives the motor clockwise for 64 steps and then counter-clockiwse for 32 steps with 2 seconds delay before changing the direction. All data is being logged on the USB UART where you can track the program flow.
void application_task ( void )
{
log_printf ( &logger, " Move 64 steps clockwise\r\n\n" );
stepper2_set_direction ( &stepper2, STEPPER2_DIR_CW );
stepper2_drive_motor ( &stepper2, 64, STEPPER2_SPEED_VERY_FAST );

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. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.
