Which ConfigurableFirmata version for accelstepper?

[Green-Bug-Eyed-Monster]

Okay, I got the blink.js sketch to work on ConfigurableFirmata Arduino library version 2.10.1.

What's the story with the accelstepper routines?

Can't seem to find a ConfigurableFirmata Arduino library version that supports these.

Client makes the request without error, yet the server does nothing with the stepper output pins, and won't fire the command complete callback.

Did you build with http://firmatabuilder.com/ ?

Hi, dtex. Thanks.

No, I'm taking the safe bet and using the kitchen sink example file ConfigurableFirmata.js from each ConfigurableFirmata version's examples directory.

Tried everything from ConfigurableFirmata version 2.8.0 to 2.10.1, yet no result.

Difficult thing to debug, with I don't know how to tap the serial port, and no AT328P debugger.

I tried a firmatabuilder.com kitchen sink server built against 2.10.1.

Here's the abridged debug output of running the firmata example stepper-accel.js on node:

Stepper motor outputs similarly invariant. Perplexing!
