Support for H-bridges as stepper drivers? #139

Closed pepijndevos closed 2 years ago

The most low-level interface this library offers seems to be STEP and DIR pins. However, many stepper motor drivers are simple H-bridges such as the DRV8833, and do not really seem to fit this interface. I'm wondering if these kind of drivers can be supported by this library.

This library is definitely targeted at drivers with STEP/DIR pins. The original plan was always to build a whole stack of libraries, to enable users to talk to different kinds of motors using the same high-level interfaces, but that never came to be.
