Similarly the Arduino motor shields * 2 direction pins may be used. * * The sequence of control signals for 5 phase, 5 control wires is as follows: * * Step C0 C1 C2 C3 C4 * 1 0 1 1 0 1 * 2 0 1 0 0 1 * 3 0 1 0 1 1 * 4 0 1 0 1 0 * 5 1 1 0 1 0 * 6 1 0 0 1 0 * 7 1 0 1 1 0 * 8 1 0 1 0 0 * 9 1 0 1 0 1 * 10 0 0 1 0 1 * * The sequence of control signals for 4 control wires is as follows: * * Step C0 C1 C2 C3 * 1 1 0 1 0 * 2 0 1 1 0 * 3 0 1 0 1 * 4 1 0 0 1 * * The sequence of controls signals for 2 control wires is as follows * (columns C1 and C2 from above): * * Step C0 C1 * 1 0 1 * 2 1 1 * 3 1 0 * 4 0 0 * * The circuits can be found at * * http://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/Stepper */ // ensure this library description is only included once #ifndef Stepper_h #define Stepper_h // library interface description class Stepper { public: // constructors: Stepper(int number_of_steps, int motor_pin_1, int motor_pin_2); Stepper(int number_of_steps, int motor_pin_1, int motor_pin_2, int motor_pin_3, int motor_pin_4); Stepper(int number_of_steps, int motor_pin_1, int motor_pin_2, int motor_pin_3, int motor_pin_4, int motor_pin_5); // speed setter method: void setSpeed(long whatSpeed); // mover method: void step(int number_of_steps); int version(void); private: void stepMotor(int this_step); int direction; // Direction of rotation unsigned long step_delay; // delay between steps, in ms, based on speed int number_of_steps; // total number of steps this motor can take int pin_count; // how many pins are in use. int step_number; // which step the motor is on // motor pin numbers: int motor_pin_1; int motor_pin_2; int motor_pin_3; int motor_pin_4; int motor_pin_5; // Only 5 phase motor unsigned long last_step_time; // time stamp in us of when the last step was taken }; #endif
