Problem setting different speeds using Stepper Motors

[cleon]

Hello,

I have a Make controller kit and I'm using 2 step motors to make my robot following a black/white line. Everything was tested with mchelper without any problems. Problem is when I in C I try to set each engine at different speeds. Example: Stepper 0 at 10 and Stepper 1 at 30. I send in attachment an example. Is it possible to send OSC commands via C language? If so how? Plus, should I use the Sleep(value) after each stepper instruction? So it can execute each stepper instruction before next one?

Thank you very much for your time. Regards, Cleon

Simple program to set different speeds for each stepper motor at the same time

Hi - I know this was posted a long time ago, but here goes.

I noticed you're not sleeping anywhere in your main loop. This will definitely affect the timing of your code, steppers included. This isn't a surefire fix, but I would definitely recommend adding a Sleep(1) to the bottom of your loop.

Second, calling SetActive?() over and over is generally not a good idea either as it's doing memory allocations, etc. which are very costly and turn off interrupts, which drive the Stepper system. I would recommend only setting it active once at the top of your loop.

If you're still working on this project, I would give those a shot!
