StepMotor Class Reference

API for the Stepper Motor. More...

Detailed Description

• ID: stepmotor
• Name: Stepper Motor
• Other Names: EasyDriver Stepper Motor Driver
• Category: motor
• Manufacturer: seeed sparkfun
• Link: http://www.schmalzhaus.com/EasyDriver/index.html
• Connection: pwm gpio

This module defines the Stepper Motor interface. It is compatible with stepper motor drivers that use 2 pins to control the motor, like an Easy Driver from Brian Schmalz.

        upm_stepmotor.StepMotor sensor = new upm_stepmotor.StepMotor(4, 6);

        while (true) {
            sensor.setSpeed(500);
            sensor.stepForward(500);
            Thread.sleep(10);
            sensor.stepBackwards(500);
            Thread.sleep(10);

            sensor.setSpeed(750);
            sensor.stepForward(500);
            Thread.sleep(10);
            sensor.stepBackwards(500);
            Thread.sleep(10);

            sensor.setSpeed(1000);
            sensor.stepForward(500);
            Thread.sleep(10);
            sensor.stepBackwards(500);
            Thread.sleep(10);
        }

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

StepMotor	(	int	dirPin,
		int	stePin
	)

Instantiates a StepMotor object

Parameters

dirPin	Direction GPIO pin
stePin	Stepper pulse PWM pin

Member Function Documentation

void setSpeed

(

int

speed

)

StepMotor object destructor no need for the destructor; all the connections will be closed when m_dirPinCtx and m_pwmStepContext go out of scope ~StepMotor (); Sets the rotation speed

Parameters

speed

Rotation speed

int stepBackwards

(

int

ticks

)

Rotates the motor backward

Parameters

ticks

Number of ticks the motor moves

int stepForward

(

int

ticks

)

Rotates the motor forward

Parameters

ticks

Number of ticks the motor moves
